I purchased the Sylvania lc370ss9 at Target yesterday. Set up was easy. The picture quality is excellent. The sound quality is little tinny but can be smoothed with the bass/treble controls. I picked all the local hd channels with the internal tuner. It ismuch better reception than the set top box I was using on my 4 year old HD ready Samsung. It has penty of inputs, PC, 2 HDMI, Digital Sound out, 2 compnet a/v outs. I chose this TV not only for a $527 price after the 10 percent Target card discount but it fit barely into my old entertinment center (36″ wide TV is 35.8″). I have a DVD, Direct TV DVR R22 and a Direct TV R10. My only complaitnt is the remotes for both DVR’s will not operate the Sylvania(Fuani) TV. I have tried several aftermarket remotes and a an Avex R8 learning remote. Well, I learned the Avex remote turned the Tivo on, but it did not learn anything from my tv remote. Now my wife has 4 remotes instead of 3. I will look for remotes. LOVE THE TV HATE THAT MY 2 SATELLITE BOXES DO NOT LIKE IT!

This is our new bedroom TV. We have an armoire that is exactly 36″ wide. This Sylvania (Funai) and the Sharp were the only 37″ TVs I was able to find that would actually fit. With a sale price under […] at target, I thought this was worth a shot. We have two other flatscreens – both Samsung Plasmas (50″ 1080p and 42″ 720p). This is our only LCD. The Samsungs do have a better picture (highly rated in consumer reports, CNET, etc.), but this one is pretty darn good for what it is. I do notice that fast action is blurred more on this set than on the plasmas. But, it’s just fine for a bedroom TV (and probably other locations). I have seen LCDs where viewing angle is a problem – not so with this unit. No visual decrease in picture at 45* angle. All in, it is a great value and a fine TV.

The screen “out of the box” was too bright for my taste. A few adjustments, including putting it into power save mode, movie view, cool color and turning down brightness and contrast about 20 points which seemed to help.

We had no reviews on this tv to read when we went to buy it, the only good lead that we had about the Sylvania brand, was the fact that my Father bought one for his room, a different model, but he loved it. He is a hard man to please, so to get his buy-in is a big deal. We have been very pleased with this TV, it has a great picture quality, and great sound. The size of the TV is perfect, it is not so big that is takes up the whole room, it fits in the corner of our room on the wall giving us the add space we needed.

I think I fell in love with this TV, not only because it is a great deal, but because I saw the Utes beat down on the Crimson Tide in the Sugar Bowl a few days after buying it!!! Oh baby what a great picture for a great game!!!

Anyway enough said, Great TV, for a great deal!!!

We just bought this for our condo. Last year I bought a Panasonic for our other home and, of course, the Sylvania picture may not look as good as the Panasonic’s. But you know what, how “perfect” does the picture have to be? No matter what you buy, next year there will be a technology that looks better. The fact is that the Sylvania is less than half the price and picture is beautiful. We are very happy with it and, in these economic times, it’s a great looking flat panel for a fair price. We’ve even dumped the cable and satellite service and still get a GREAT picture on it with an indoor antennae. Think of the money we are saving with the free over-the-air digital channels. Why, it’ll pay for my Sylvania in 6 months.
