Buyer Beware
When I purchased this set it was fine and I enjoyed it's company. Then it started..DVD went and I called and I called and I wrote and I called........Nothing for 30 days. Then they finally said the warranty had expired. Luckly I had an add on warranty from Square Trade. Brought it in to have it fixed and the technician said Proscan parts department Sucks.Waited 3 months for DVD player part. He said DVD player was cheap and don't count on it to work any better or any longer. Picture sucks now and doesn't come in that good. Do not buy Pro Scan..Buyer Beware.

Good Set For The Price
I purchased this set through Costco online for 199.00, but the offer seems to have now expired. It is a great television for the price. High Def and standard def are both great. Wish I had bought two of them for the price. I am not an expert on high definition televisions so can't comment on technical comparisons. All I know is I haven't seen a 26" HD television cheaper anywhere. Great tv for a kitchen or bedroom.

Remote response time, delay in changing channels
Bought this TV when Circuit City shut doors. Was pleased with picture and sound. However the remote is difficult to use from across the room. First it must be carefully aimed at the sensor. Second, the buttons are finicky. Sometimes they work and sometimes you wind up skipping channels. Finally when you change a channel there is several seconds before the TV reponds. It is virtually impossible to "surf" channels without getting frustrated. I also noted the DVD freeze up reported by others. Overall it is a fairly good TV for the money but the quirks are annoying. I have a 24" Samsung the performs head and shoulders over the Proscan.

PS: The TV is in the bedroom where my wife uses it during the day so I get blow by blow feedback on the remote.

At 9, this TV was a good buy. At 9, I would pass.
On Sunday 11/15/09 Sears marked this set down to 9 on their website, so I ran out and picked one up. They had to get a manager to approve the price, because it rang up at 9. Four days later It is now priced at 9. At 9, this TV was a good buy. At 9, I would pass.

The picture quality looks good once you adjust the contrast and brightness settings. The pre-set adjustments look terrible. I turned the brightness down very low and the contrast up pretty high which produced a fairly vibrant picture. The picture is not as good as more expensive TV's, but for the price I paid I am pleased. The speakers on this TV are fair. They sound tinny and they buzz if you turn the bass up too high. Also, the volume accelerates too quickly. At level "4" the TV is too quiet and at level "5" it is too loud. The on board tuner is acceptable for over the air HD signals. My original antenna works fine with my old Sony 40" LCD TV, but the Proscan was not able to receive all the channels. I ended up building an antenna out of coat hangers, and after several hours of adjustment I am now able to pick up all of the local over the air HD stations using the built in tuner. HDMI and VGA connections look good; I haven't tried the component or composite inputs. This is a very attractive TV for the price range. Most sets in this range look basic and square, but this TV looks good on the wall and has nice sleek lines. The Proscan logo is not as big as the picture makes it look.

Overall I would recommend this TV to someone looking for a bedroom or second TV set; but only if the price were still 9. I would not be happy with this TV as my primary set, or if I had paid any more for it.

Proscan for the pro
Bought at Sears about 0. Easy basic set up. To go further with add-on devices you MUST understand the technical names and connectors. Instructions are limited on plug-ins. Great picture. Great sound for first 30+ days. Now I get a "buzz" on bass type sounds, like distortion of speaker or vibration in plastic case. Not yet worth taking down and going for repair. No direct outputs for speakers/surround sound, have to connect other cables. Overall it is a much better picture than previous 30" analog set. Channel change is slow, maybe due to using an antenna. Reception clips in and out often even on best channels (but never on commercials :)
The input/output connections are hidden and confusing but overall for our use it works great. Just wish it was more novice friendly on installation.
