Pros: I was impressed by the image (this is my first flat screen TV). It was straight-forward to set up. No dead pixels or lines across the screen.

Cons: The first thing I noticed was that the front frame was damaged in the corners. It does not appear to have damaged the screen material in any way, however, I did expect to get an intact piece of equipment. If this happened during shipping, or if this is a refurbished / open-box item that Auria repackaged as a new item, I cannot say. - Also, as I was setting it up, I heard parts moving behind the screen, which didn't seem normal. After looking down the back with a flashlight, I couldn't see anything loose, so it probably was cabling readjusting itself as I turned it over. - There is definite shadowing during fast-moving scenes and in games. If you're looking for a high-performance flat screen, this isn't it. However, if you're looking for a good all-round TV that just needs to be an average HD TV, then this is a good buy. - There are no S-Video inputs. Not a big deal, just be sure that your other equipment supports HDMI or Component video. - Does not come with any HDMI or Component c

Overall Review: Price-Value ratio => 5 Eggs ================= For the price I don't think it can get much better. Performance => 3 Eggs =============== Considering everything, I wouldn't expect much more than average performance from a TV in this price range, resulting in an average rating. Quality => 2 Eggs =========== The front frame is made of cheap, thin plastic. Were it a little sturdier, I don't think it would have arrived damaged. It is clear that they had to skimp in the manufacturing process to save costs.

Pros: one has to admit, that even for the best value finder person, its not very often "you runs into a brand new 42" 1080p TV, that works AVERAGE for the price that I paid, in any brand....

Cons: the (black level) on this TV is Bad really, really Bad!! and its even worst on "DVD" the colors are horrible you can count all bleeding color and black level, on this thing, and there's no way to do anything about it inside the menu, the manual and remote is also of little help, the fact of the matter is, you cant get in touch with the company for warranty,(eqd corp) if you do" they put you on hold permanently,and if your lucky to talk to someone it ends up, that they have to called you back,..... and they don't return calls.. this Auria will be my first and last

Overall Review: in the future I'll be staying with the regulars (SAMSUNG,SONY,PANASONIC, LG AND TOSHIBA..

Pros: 3 HDMI ports, component and composite, and a digital coaxial out. 42 inches of screen space in 1080p along with a sound system is like being at the movies without kids kicking your seat.

Cons: There's a hum in the speakers like it's being over powered, the digital out takes care of the problem, would liked an optical out instead but nothing a converter box couldn't fix.

Overall Review: Upgraded from a 26 inch RCA and absolutely love playing games on this massive screen.

Pros: As mentioned in my previous review.

Cons: New con appeared over time: There seems to be screen flicker in certain scenes, and I haven't figured out why its happening or how to prevent it. It can be very annoying and almost appears as if the electronics are failing.

Overall Review: Perhaps spending $100 would have been a good idea, but so far I am satisfied with it, other than the flickering.

Pros: Great picture, great price, plenty of connections, everything works.

Cons: Remote not very sensitive, have to point a certain way and make very deliberate presses to get it to register.

Overall Review: Got this on Newegg's Black Friday for $399. What a deal for a 42" LCD. This is not a stripped down version either. Has everything the higher priced ones have. Quality is great. I am now watching HDTV (through HDMI) and loving it. I would gladly pay Newegg's asking price after the sale, still a very good price with free shipping. All I can say is I'm sure glad I got it.

Pros: Only $399 via Doorbuster Black Friday. OK Picture for a $399 LCD TV.

Cons: Thin slivers of plastic peeling away from the corners of the screen. This doesn't appear to be shipping damage but merely poor quality. Since I use this for an HTPC setup, I run HDMI cables to the TV from various components/devices. The TV stand is not strong enough to hold the TV without sensing the TV swaying back and forth within the stand. Typical one can run 3.5 MM RCA output to a set of 5.1 PC speakers. This TV only has SPDIF output. Newegg did a poor job displaying the specifications originally on this TV. I love Newegg, but this deal was a spoiler for me.

Pros: High brightness Respectable sound quality Brilliant colors Easy set-up Three HDMI, 1 VGA, composite video

Cons: Remote control sensor is on the bottom right side: remote control must be pointed directly at the right corner ... a simple thing that is a big hassle. I plan to ceiling mount the HDTV so that may no longer be a problem.

Overall Review: The unit does not have a QAM filter to work with some cable systems, but that was not advertised so why do some complain? The low price of $399 including shipping ($499 is still a good deal), allows buying a set-top box to work with your cable provider and still be well under the price of units that come with QAM decoder. The unit came with a whole in the box which cared me because of others posts about broken plastic. I was happy to find that the unit arrived in fine shape. The true test will be how well the unit holds up over the few years life... but I've had name brands go out so off-brand is not necessarily any different in that regard. Overall, this was a sweet deal.

Pros: Very good picture, very good price, very good options, just a very good TV!

Cons: None

Overall Review: I bought this TV on the Black Friday sale at Newegg. Got this puppy for $399. I am so happy I took the chance and got it. It surpassed all my expectations. I can't find a single thing about it I don't like. Dunno who actually makes this brand but it's apparent the company went for quality all the way. I've seen a lot of TVs and haven't seen one better than this one. It's well worth the price that's being charged now, let alone what I paid for it. I'd recommend this TV to anyone and that's no joke.
