Summary: Very poor workmanship - our tv died after just 2 years
Comment: Our Sylvania LC320ss8 tv died after just two years. When we try to turn it on, the power light flicks green twice and then goes back to standby mode. We tried replacing the fuse, but the problem is with the power supply. Unfortunately, we did very little research before we purchased this tv, and have since found that there are power issues with many Sylvania lcd tvs. We will never buy a Sylvania product again.

Summary: Worst TV. Worst Company.
Comment: Do not ever buy sylvania (fujai) products. Their customer service is horrible. I own this tv and just passed the 1 year warranty LAST month and it now does not turn on. I contacted sylvania for help and they gave me a reference number and someone to contact about service... the person they gave me to contact was charging $65 assesments of the problem and $80/hr for labor. I called someone NOT reffered by this company and they are charging $20/hr plus the cost of parts. I called sylvania back to complain and tell them the prices were outrageous and that it would cost the same as what I bought the tv for to repair it and I might as well go get a higher quality tv. They didn't seem to care that their customer was unhappy and weren't willing to help in any way. I spoke to 3 seperate people no one could find info on me in the system so I ended up with THREE reference numbers for my case and still got nowhere.
Dont buy this TV unless you want to pay double what the tag at the store says after it craps out in a year or year and a half.
It was a good TV otherwise, but I shouldnt need to be repairing it in under a year. I would expect problems after 3-5 years. NOT 1yr and 1 month.

Summary: I like it but.....
Comment: Overall the LD320SS8 seems a great product. I have not yet done anything exotic--but thus far I am extremely hppy with the picture and the set. However I had occasion to call Sylvania (Funai) tech support to confirm how to wall mount the TV and to remove the stand. That is another story told below:
Imagine my surprise when the very nice voiced lady told me they will not support wall mounting and will not provide any information on it. I reminded them I was on my own to ensure it wouldn't fall, and again asked for help --- with the same answer. I asked for a supervisor, and was told there were none followed by hang up on their part.
Bottom line---I figured it out and it is hanging but I haven't the courage yet to try to drop the stand by unscrewing the four screws that seem to hold it in.
BTW, the wall mount company was responsive but ended telling me to contact a supervisor at Sylvania. I sent two letters to Sylvania HQs, so far no response.
So I guess even though I am so far pleased with the set it is the LAST American brand I shall purchase (even if made by someone else). This is a bridge too far for me.

Summary: Worst Customer Service I've ever experienced - stay away from FUNAI
Comment: TV died 38 days after purchase. Called Sylvania (which is now FUNAI) and they recommended a local service center. The LCD PANEL needed replacing, but the part was discontinued. I called FUNAI to find out what to do, and they wanted ME to go back to the service center to get the TV to bring to another service center. I asked what good that would do if the part was discontinued, they had no reply, just said "It's just the way we do it". I told them that since it was their product I wasnt' going to waste my gas to go and pick it up, they had to pick it up. Waited a week, and they never picked it up AND they never contacted the service center. I called FUNAI back, and got the same run around. They said that this time they WOULD pick it up, but I had to call them back when it was boxed and ready for shipment (they agreed again to send a box). I then asked how they would keep track of it after that point. Would they ship it back to me? How did they know where to send a new TV or refund check, again , no reasonable response. I went to the repair place, picked up the TV and BEGGED BJ's wholesale to refund my money, and they did. I now own a TOSHIBA, which supposedly has great customer service. Don't ever buy a FUNAI product - the customer service is the worst. Other companies they own are: Emerson and Symphonic. Stay away if you want to maintain your sanity.

Summary: Love it, Love it, Fantastic Picture. A++++
Comment: My first HDTV and I love it. I have it in my living room and the size is just right. The HD broadcasts are amazing. The first thing I watched was Planet earth and I was afraid that the rushing water was going to spill over onto the floor. It makes it like you are there.
It is reasonably priced and I got the extended warranty which I never do but I did my research and learned about when an LCD pixil goes out how costly it can be. I called Sylvania and talked about it.
I think the warranty could be better 90 days labor is not much for such a high dollar item.
As for the TV it works great, looks great and I have had it about 8 months and not one problem. As an audio/visual "expert of sorts" remember to use the attatchment of your vaccum and dust the top vents weekly especially if you have cats or dogs. Hair can get in there and build up, this keeps it clean and functioning well.
Highly recommend this TV. It is great looking and the trim is the same color of the HD cable box. I got an HD upconveting DVD player and now all my old DVD's loook almost HD.
