User Reviews about Proscan 42LC55S240V87 42-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV - Black

I purchased this for my daughter and she loves it. It was a great price -- proscan 42inch tv

I'm just an average guy and am about as far from a audio/video snob as you can get so when I went searching for a TV I looked mostly for price and also reviews from users (not professionals).

This is the TV I found and I am so far happy with it overall. I've had it for about a month now and no major problems have surfaced. The picture looks good and it is a big upgrade from my old 32" HDTV. The screen is NOT glossy which is a huge plus. Glossy screens reflect even the smallest hint of light which makes placing them in a room that has windows a big pain. This one is a nice matt black that I can easily see with the windows open.

The two issues I have with the TV that make it not perfect for me are somewhat minor.

First would be this TV takes a significant amount of time to turn on, probably about 4 times as long as my old TV. I can expect it to take a little longer due to it being larger, but this is really long.

The second issue is changing video inputs. For some reason the TV either is lagging bad or misses button presses on the remote because it can take several presses of the 'input' button for the menu to come up, then sometimes it misses up/down button presses and the enter key. This makes using my Logitech Harmony remote useless, it never, ever, manages to change the TV to the correct input and changing the input on the Harmony remote is such a pain in the butt that I just don't use it anymore. For some reason the Comcast remote also isn't working with the TV (only power and volumn work), so I'm back to using 4 remote controls.

Overall though for the price this was a good deal. A thousand bucks for a 55-inch? That's a steal, at least at the time of my purchase. Used my AMEX card for the free extra year warrenty. -- An average guy review

Just like many others, I bought this Proscan on a leap of faith based on the reviews I read as it was not a big name TV but the price was great. I LOVE IT!!! The video is outstanding and better than many screens I saw in the store. I have had it for a little over a month now and I could not be happier and have had no problems. I hope it lasts. -- Excellent

I've had this TV for 30 days now and so far all is well. Price was right, delivery was fast. The picture is terrific. For its size and refresh rate (240), it's a real bargain. I mounted in on the wall with the VideoSecu MW370B Plasma LCD TV Wall Mount, a hefty mount. I also bought the 4 year Square Trade warranty, which is really a 3 year warrany after the manf 1 year warranty is up. -- Great picture
