Proscan - 32 in. (Diagonal) Class 720p LCD HD Television —
On Sunday 11/15/09 Sears marked this set down to $299 on their website, so I ran out and picked one up. They had to get a manager to approve the price, because it rang up at $369. Four days later It is now priced at $369. At $299, this TV was a good buy. At $369, I would pass.
The picture quality looks good once you adjust the contrast and brightness settings. The pre-set adjustments look terrible. I turned the brightness down very low and the contrast up pretty high which produced a fairly vibrant picture. The picture is not as good as more expensive TV's, but for the price I paid I am pleased. The speakers on this TV are fair. They sound tinny and they buzz if you turn the bass up too high. Also, the volume accelerates too quickly. At level "4" the TV is too quiet and at level "5" it is too loud. The on board tuner is acceptable for over the air HD signals. My original antenna works fine with my old Sony 40" LCD TV, but the Proscan was not able to receive all the channels. I ended up building an antenna out of coat hangers, and after several hours of adjustment I am now able to pick up all of the local over the air HD stations using the built in tuner. HDMI and VGA connections look good; I haven't tried the component or composite inputs. This is a very attractive TV for the price range. Most sets in this range look basic and square, but this TV looks good on the wall and has nice sleek lines. The Proscan logo is not as big as the picture makes it look.
Overall I would recommend this TV to someone looking for a bedroom or second TV set; but only if the price were still $299. I would not be happy with this TV as my primary set, or if I had paid any more for it.
