Pros: The picture and sound quality are both outstanding.
Cons: Despite the prominently advertized USB feature and the presence of a
USB jack, this unit cannot actually play a video from a USB thumb drive.
There was no way to learn this from Sylvania; online inquiries that I
submitted to them were never answered. There are DVD players on the market
that will play video from a USB thumb drive; I have a comparatively
inexpensive portable Philips PET1030 DVD Player that does a great job of
this.

I saw this LCD TV at BJ’s wholesale today for $399.99 ( 1/10/10) and it had the best picture in the store. Looked at 15 LCD tv’s side by side and the Sylvania had one of the best pictures. Very impressed with the picture quality and the price. I’m thinking about buying this and using my 19 inch Dynex LCD tv as a computer monitor.

I picked up this set at a local membership-based warehouse store as a floor model for the low price of $340 (after floor model discount). Got it home and the first problem hit almost immediately. The threaded wall-mount holes are counter sunk into the set by 4mm or so, and the screws on the wall mount I purchased could not reach. I had to modify the wall-mount so that the screws would reach. Strike 1, albeit minor.
The next issue I encountered was with the picture quality. Darks were very dark… In order to eliminate the blackness, the contrast and brightness had to be set so high colors were flat washed out.
In testing the DVD player, the mechanism that engages the disc was unpredictable at best. Sometimes, by the time it grabbed the disc, it’s already moved on to rejecting the disc. It was generally a struggle to get a disc in.
HDMI selection was very slow. In other words, when I turned the set on, it would take several seconds before it would display the signal from my HD cable box.
The straw that finally broke the camel’s back was that the remote uses an obscure set of codes and none of the Funai, Sylvania or other codes listed for the Comcast universal remote could control this TV. A quick Google search quickly revealed that this TV has a unique remote and simply isn’t supported by the Comcast universal remote.
Also, the product image here on Amazon isn’t clear enough to reveal the horizontal gold stripe that goes across the bottom of this set. An eye sore on an otherwise attractive set.
I returned the TV to the big box store and picked up a 26″ Toshiba 720p LCD/DVD combo and all of the above issues are completely resolved. Granted the new set is smaller, but it’s for a bedroom anyways.

I bought this tv because I was tired of having a lot of equipment around the tv. Meaning a DVD player. Figured a built in one was the way to go.
After owning this tv now for about 2 weeks. I find that the picture isn’t very good and when it is an HD program it isn’t much better than a non – HD program.
I am also experienceing problems with the DVD player. It skips on some DVD’s. I have taken the dvd out and cleaned it, but still had problems. Plus I couldn’t see any scratches on the dvd to cause the skipping.
Bottom line, I feel there are better 32″ LCD TV/DVD Combos out there for the same price.Sylvania LD320SSX 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV/DVD Combo

I don’t know why anyone would complain about the picture quality of this tv. Mine isn’t even hooked up to HD and the quality is still pretty good. I purchased this tv for around $420, which compared to other brands of the same size is a good buy, especially since it also comes with a dvd player. If you are not anal retentive and want a good tv at a reasonable price this is the way to go.
