| duraflex's Full Review: Philips 32MF231D 32 in. HDTV TV |
Philips owns Magnavox.
We bought the Magnavox 32MF231D LCD-TV 3 days ago and it is INCREDIBLY GOOD. Great quality at a good price point - about $1000.
DVDs play back beautifully - especially using component inputs.
You want and expect HDTV to be awesome and it is - truly as good as any 32" other HDTV in any technology.
The built-in ATSC/QAM and NTSC tuners make this a set a winner. You can get free over-the-air HDTV signals with a good quality antenna if you are in the right location.
Negatives -
The remote is not intuitive.
Video presets are worthless.
--------------------
UPDATE:
UNFORTUNATELY - As good as this set was, I had to return it. It had a persistent electronic odor that did not go away with time. My individual set may simply have been an isolated lemon. I don't know.
I bought the upgrade version which is the Philips 32PF7321 as a replacement for about $200 more. The Philips has no smell, runs cooler and delivers better sound. The SD images on the Philips and Magnavox are unmatched by other LCD TVs. Three months with the Philips and enjoying it every day.
