 It always breaks right after the warranty expires! November 27, 2008
I received this 42" Plasma HDTV for Christmas year before last...and was so excited! It was everything that I wanted in a television and worked perfectly!.........for the first year and a half! One day, we went to turn it on and after about 10 minutes of working, the screen went black...and stayed black. The sound works great but their is no picture at all. I called Magnavox for some help, but seeing as it is out of its 1 year warranty, they were no help except to tell me to unplug and wait a few minutes. After that didnt work, I was told I could have a technician come to the house (for a fee they could not predict!) I have since called a local repair shop and they have told me that they could not help me because it is a Magnavox. I was told to drive it to a Magnavox dealer and hope for help from them. (but its gonna be pricey he said) So, I guess I've got a really expensive XM Radio or a very unique table with no legs!

We purchased a plasma from Magnavox in Nov. of 05...an earlier version of this model. Within the first 3 months we started having problems with the picture getting lines through it. We spent hours...many hours on the phone with Magnavox trying to locate someone to service this TV. A company finally did. Three months later more problems occurred...the enamel began to peel and flake...the picture got worse...so we then had to send our TV to another service center for over 3 months. We got it back Feb. of 2007. It does not work at all now...no picture...nothing and Magnavox will not even consider fixing or replacing it because it is out of the puny one year warranty. DONT BUY A MAGNAVOX PRODUCT!

I bought this Magnavox 42" plasma HDTV at the end of Feb 2007, and it has been fantastic. Absolutely spectacular. The person who wrote the highly negative review must have bought a slightly different model or an earlier version of some kind, because this Maganavox has been flawless. I should also mention that I bought this HDTV after doing a huge amount of research and after a lot of weary walking around electronics stores. I also got a great deal on the price.
 Happy with my 42" March 25, 2007

I jumped out of my 37" plasma Panasonic, and into this from my local target store. It was hundreds less than other tv's of this style and ability, with HDMI ports, and all the bells and features of the Panasonic unit....
I was really worried about the technical side of this device, but the warrantee for 3 years, for $79. was well worth the money to remove that worry. I have been happy as heck with this tv. Auto adjustments for the change of the channels, it automatically adjusts from 720p to 1040i, to standard tv. on the fly. Love that feature.
The same tests I ran on the Panasonic, I do on this tv... I read someplace online, that watching the BMW commercial, where the car tires have the emblem of the blue and white rotating, and continueing to display the different colors is the best mark of a tv set. Rich colors, deep blacks. Unreal picture with Directv High Def receive and setup. I will never look back - and am real happy at this little Jem.
Remote is ok, menues take a bit to get use to, but still ok.
I am happy that about $1100 got me a bigger unit, wall mounted, and under warrantee...
