This tv was ok but maganavox does not stand behind the product. we have only had our tv for just 6 month and the remote sensor in the tv went out. serivece charge alone is almost 1/2 of what I paid for the tv. I guess if you want a good product and a company that stands behind the product with out having to buy the extended warranty you better keep looking. Plus when you call customer service they will not let you talk to a supervisor because you the custome are not alowed to. all it take is one person to step up and say we will not take this anymore so time the customer is right again.
