Emerson 32" LCD HDTV

Emerson 32" LCD HDTV Review

I wanted a new tv that was affordable. This television was the most affordable as well as the biggest I could purchase with what I had to spend.
This is not the tvs fault but you don't automatically get HD tv from your cable company just because you have an HDTV. I didn't know that and wondered why I couldn't get the HD channels. Duh. The HD will cost a little more. I don't have the HDTV cable and I just get regular digital tv from the tv. Which, to me, is fine. Some people may feel differently and if it makes that much of a difference to you than you'll probably also want a more expensive television with crystal clear picture quality-which this one doesn't.
But for the price-I can handle the downgrade in picture quality.

I'm happy with the video quality. It's not spectacular but it's definitely watchable without being annoying or even an issue in any way shape or form. I enjoy my shows without ever even having to think about it. I just enjoy the big screen.
The television has different screen modes to choose from. The cinemax or movie mode one can be a tiny bit fuzzy and the whole picture doesn't fit into the screen but I dont think that's the tvs fault. I think that's just how the cinemax/movie mode is.
The other modes are fine.
Like I said-if you've got to have stellar picture quality than go spend a thousand and more on another tv the same size as this.
As far as the sound goes, I wish it were just a little better quality. No biggie. It's nothing that annoys me. It gets pretty loud and I can hear it most of the time with no problem. But it does have CC if, like me, movies are a pain to hear because the actors have a habit of talking /whispering way too low with their dialog. The furniture they sit on make more coherent sound than they do. It's really frustrating.
I think if it had better sound quality, I could hear them better than their footsteps and furniture but I could be wrong about that.

The tv was easy to set up. REally very simple.
I would recommend this. I know it's been refurbished but I am very happy with my purchase.
Save yourself some money if you're not going to nit pick about crystal clear picture quality.
