I had this TV for 6 weeks and it stopped working. The 888 Proscan # that I have been calling for 2 more weeks does not answer OR return my calls to find an “authorized” dealer to fix it. What a ripoff & piece of JUNK!!!

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.

On Sunday 11/15/09 Sears marked this set down to $299 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 $369. Four days later It is now priced at $369. At $299, this TV was a good buy. At $369, 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 $299. I would not be happy with this TV as my primary set, or if I had paid any more for it.

Bought at Sears about $330. 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.

I purchased the 32LB30QR version of this television that includes a built-in DVD player for a decent price (DVD a little noisy when activating but decent). Early in the day I brought it home and set it up, which wasn’t entirely difficult at all. The picture quality was satisfactory and the DVD player was adequate enough. I was pretty satisfied with what I had…until I wanted to watch a movie that night. I turned out the lights, and lay in bed to see how Star Wars (Episode 4) looked on the new TV. To my annoyance, I had a bright blue spotlight interrogating me all the way across the room from the lower right corner of the TV. This, of course was the power light. It’s red when the TV is off but blue when the TV is on. I thought it was kind of bright during the day but figured it was no big deal…I was wrong. It was way too bright for night viewing. I searched the settings and find nothing to dim or deactivate it. Since the light was immediately above the sensor for the remote control, I had to cover the light with tape and a small rubber stopper. Speaking of the sensor, the remote control was kind of weak. I had to press the buttons several times to get a reaction from the TV. Keep in mind I had this problem even before I placed the stopper over the light. I see this issue is present with other reviews on other sites as well. Maybe a universal remote will suffice, but I may never know unless I read a review.
Needless to say, I returned the TV the next day because I believe I shouldn’t have to make modifications (even simple tape-and-whatever) or grumble over having to repeatedly push remote control buttons to enjoy something brand-spanking new. Overall it was a decent model but these issues, especially that light, are real deal-breakers. I’m not sure I would recommend the 32lb30QR unless you can deal with these.
