Pros: Mostly price. Good starter plasma tv if yours lasts.

Cons: Durability (for me). Sound if you don't have a sound system.

The Bottom Line: I wouldn't recommend simply because it didn't last me 8 months before needing service.

from Shopping.com Pros: Mostly price. Good starter plasma tv if yours lasts. Cons: Durability (for me). from Shopping.com After having the TV for only 6 months it just stopped working one day. It wouldn't turn on, and it made a horrible noise. We have gotten only run around with the sylvaniacompany trying to get them to honor their 1 year warrantee. They were very helpful until I said it was a plasma TV. from Circuitcity.com I bought this TV 2 weeks ago and even though it's not an HD model it is amazing for the money. I know that some people will dissagree with me about buying the ED versus the HD but when you come from a standard set to a 42' big screen on a budget, this isahard deal to beat. Just remember to budget in for the extra cables you will need for the best picture quality and you will not be upset with this plasma, especially if you are on a budget. from Circuitcity.com To start - Purchased in January, so this review is after 6 months. Can't stand folks who review something after a week...... from Circuitcity.com It sure looks cool when it is off. Actualy looks better off than on. But hey, it's a affordable plasma. from Circuitcity.com I liked this 42' Sylvania enough to buy two of them, so it would seem I must be pretty satisfied! The picture quality is very good, even thoug it is an ED vs. from Circuitcity.com The picture is so beautiful there are so many colors it,s unreal. You,ll never no what you,ve been missing until you buy a plasma tv . The sound from the monitor could be better.it has four viewing modes so if you don,t have HDTVlike me you can select wide mode and there is no distortion of the picture ( like stretched faces.) It,s not a TV so you,ll need a satellite receiver or a TV tuner also it does,nt have coaxial cable input. from Circuitcity.com I read the reviews and checked them all out. The picture is bright and perfect. For me HD would have been nice, but for the money not worth it. from Circuitcity.com We bought this TV in February of 2006 and have had it for a year now. It was side by side with a Panasonic HDTV and the picture was comparable. from Amazon.com
