Horrible Product, Horrible Service

Like the others who have purchased this awful piece of equipment I experienced the DVD player stopped working at about the 30 day mark.I returned the TV and Philips replaced it with a new one.It's been 5 months and the DVD player still works but now the TV operation is not functioning properly.When I contacted the Philips customer service line I was told that since it is beyond 3 months I'm out of luck.I guess I can use it as a fancy paper weight.....................

Everyone seems to be having DVD problems!!!

Everyone else seems to love this TV, but I've had my problems.I've had the TV about 3 months and the DVD player decided to stop working.It makes a whirring and clicking sound, but won't load the DVD.I called Magnavox just in time becuase my warranty was about to expire in 3 days.They are making me ship them the TV at my expense, and then they will send me a new one.Even when this TV was working I felt the picture was too dark, and I had to turn the brightness up really high to get a good picture...

Great price, no problems

I was surprised to read the other reviews that indicated problems with the DVD player incorporated inside this unit.I have had mine for about seven months and have had no problems with it.The picture is great, remote easy to get used to, and the DVD player has worked without any problems.The sound is good considering the tiny speakers.I haven't used it with a computer, so cannot say how it works as a display.It was by far the least expensive unit like this that I was able to find....
