I first received by PROTRON LCD 32" TV for Christmas. Let me say when I finally got one of these puppies that worked just right I was happy (I got one that worked right in MAY, 5 months later.) This TV is great (I'll tell you about my 5 month ...

Pros: Right-sized for viewing in bedroom, easy to move (30 lbs.), 9 source inputs.
Cons: No 2nd HDMI, no stereo out, uses 200 watts so is warm. Tippy?

Purchased at Sears for $550 after last year's Superbowl frenzy, this unit displays great images from a multitude of sources I have operating in my bedroom media center. With only a slight delay, I switch between my DVD recorded/player (Accurian ...

Pros: Cheap price, good picture, remote worked fine.
Cons: Picture cut out faster and faster after about 10 months. Customer service no longer available.

I bought the 32" PLTV from Sears in February 2007. Only had it hooked up to a VCR/DVD player for the first 10 months. When I signed up for HD TV service, moved it up to the family room, and mounted it on the wall, it worked fine for about a week. It ...

Pros: Good picture and styling, fairly easy to set up.
Cons: Remote sporadic in getting tv to turn on. Poor workmanship since 2 of 2 defective.

We fell for the ShopNBC pitch. Sounded like a good price and they made the tv sound OH SO GOOD! When we first got it, the pictures were very good, nice styling. But the remote never worked from the beginning; like others stated it often took several ...

Cons: Poor customer service or repair capability Short life span

I too was fooled by the SHOP NBC promotion right before Christmas 2 years ago and purchased 2 Protron LCD televisions. The 32 inch was High Definition, the 27 inch was not. It came along with a free DVD player and seemed like a great deal. But ...

Pros: Picture good until.....
Cons: Buyer Beware and stick with a good name brand!

Bought item March 2006 with no problems until August 2006. While trying to use customer service for technical assistance, half of the personnel didn't understand English. Every time I called, the entire amount of information had to be repeated again ...

Pros: SOUND IS EXCELLENT, SIZE, VALUE FOR DOLLAR
Cons: POOR PICTURE QUALITY, NO BACKLIT REMOTE, BUTTONS ON REMOTE ARE SMALL

OKAY, I GOT THE TWO TV DEAL FROM SHOPNBC SIX MONTHS AGO, SIGHT UNSEEN, SO MINE IS COMPLETELY PAID FOR....20" AND 32" HERE IS MY 32" PROTRON REVIEW: CLARITY OF THE PICTURE : THE MAJOR REASON YOU ARE EVEN READING THIS RIGHT NOW, RIGHT? ...

Pros: OK picture
Cons: NON EXISTING MICKEY MOUSE CUSTOMER SERVICE, THE ONLY SERVICE YOU GET IS LIP SERVICE

I bought this PIECE OF GARBAGE television in February 2007 because it seemed like a good deal. The first one had to be returned because the remote didn’t work NOR did the sleep timer and clock on the television. I spent 2 hours on the phone with ...

Pros: Good picture and cheap price This tv was good and provided a real easy setup
Cons: You get what you pay for, it has been to find an authorize dealer 

I Purchased my TV at Wall-mart two years ago during an after Christmas sale for $599.00.  The picture was very clear and could be seen from all parts of the room, no dark or distorted image like some have if your viewing it from ...

Pros: Nice picture if it will work.
Cons: Service is non-existent,No English(Chinese Owned)

Got my tv 18 mos.ago and the power supply board went out. No one wants to repair this brand especially Sears, since the manufacture will not cooperate in furnishing the part #, so it can be ordered. All Protron will give you is "take it to TV repair shop for service." Not even the Attorney General in Calif.can get anything out of them. All that is left is hire an attorney.Never ever do business with Protron, it is Chinese owned and operated and they have very poor English.

Pros: Great picture with great features.
Cons: Seems to have a very, very short life span.

I also was duped by the SHOPNBC sales pitch. I've had the tv about a year and I have no sound on a couple of stations. The weirdest thing is when the Simpson's come on and when TNT shows a game the sound is in Spanish. I recently lost sound on NBC & CW11. Cust. Ser. was no help at all, they told me to take it to a authorized dealer but did not have an authorized dealer to send me to. Now that I'm researching trying to find help I'm noticing all the problems people are having with this product. All I can do at this point is SOUND OFF.

GEO.

Pros: Easy to set up, price picture
Cons: None

Bought this particular TV a couple of weeks ago, mainly because of price from sears for 899.00 plus a 5% rebate for using their credit. Have been very impressed with the picture and sound.
