Product brief
Description: The Philips Magnavox 32MD357B is a 32-inch, LCD television.Compared to other LCD TVs on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $560.This TV is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.Has a built-in DVD player.
Pros: With built-in HDTV compatibility, this TV set can display images that are significantly sharper and more realistic than regular television, as long as the source is high definition.(It can easily render standard-resolution digital TV broadcasts and also depict the full resolution of widescreen DVD video.)The 3:2 pulldown feature of this set reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.
Cons: Has only a rear connector location.
Suitability: Appropriate for an small to medium sized apartment or condo living room.Also, a wide aspect TV such as this one is well suited for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.
Value: Given its very inexpensive price, this TV has great features for the money.In terms of viewable size, LCD TVs with comparable viewable size have an average cost of around $805.
Suggestions: (1) For assistance in shopping for a new HDTV, review CNET editors' Ultimate HDTV Buying Guide.(2) If donating or repurposing your old TV is not a viable option, CNET encourages households to recycle their electronics.Please explore the following website to find a recycling center in your area Electronics Take Back Coalition.
