Epic Fail

Pros: cheap, light weight, free hdmi cable, decent sound
Cons: flimsy, scanner not working, internal storing of favorite list messed up, picture quality
"Light and works out of the box. I scan the channels and then stored them on favorite lists only to be found vanished after 5-24 hrs. Re-scanned a couple of times and re-added into favorite, same thing again and again. Surround Sound was better than expected. Picture quality is not the best, but bearable.
i suggest spend extra bucks and get a TV you don't have to bring back to the warehouse."

Best No-Name TV

Pros: included hdmi cable.
Cons: none!
"My daughter-in-law bought this TV, is using rabbit ears, and gets NO pixilation, which is more than I can say for my Panasonic!! This is a very impressive TV and one of my favorite features is the 'info' button that tells you what program is running (if you turn on the TV during a commercial). Again, that's more than I can say about my Panasonic! Great value for the price."

You get what you pay for...

Model Number: Element 32" 720p LCD
"If you are going to use this TV as a primary television...keep on shopping. This is a classic example of getting what you pay for...very modest price but a very poor television. But not a bad monitor. Trust me, spend a few more dollars and get a TV that you will enjoy. The Element 32' TV has colors that are washed out and can not adjusted to get any real life tones. Sorry!!"

Number one shopper!!!!

Pros: great buy for the price.
"I purchased this TV about four months ago, as a retirement gift for myself. This is a GREAT TV for the cost! Good color and clear image. You must buy for this price. I paid a little more but it was more than worth it. I love shopping for great deals and this is a super buy!! Do not pass up this bargain. I am considering purchasing another, at this low price."

Good TV

"This tv works great, is attractive and light weight. I like the connection that Element Electronics has with Detroit. Setup was easy except for one small thing. I called the Concierge Service and they were able to help me quickly fix the problem."

Returning- has shortfalls

Pros: picture, sound, hdmi cable included, price
Cons: remote, auto channel scan
Model Number: Element 32" 720p
"First of all I'm not sure what TV the previous 2 reviewers received but this IS made in China. The speakers are underneath, although it didn't sound too muffled.
I was really excited to get this as it is the first flat screen and TV with a built in tuner I've bought. I had been using my Panasonic DVD recorder with built in tuner, RF modulator and 20 year old TV. Unfortunately the DVD recorder went out. There was a big disappointment in store for me that I didn't realize existed. My main reason for return is the tuner. I use an antenna and the tuner was unable to pull in a public TV sub-channel that I have gotten previously and watch a fair amount. There is no way with this unit to manually add channels which some systems allow. It is total auto scan. A minor beef and not a deal breaker is the remote has no sound mute button I didn't spend time making fine tune adjustments, the picture quality seemed o.k. Some of the non white skin tones could of used fine adjustments.
This unit probably would be fine for anyone with subscription TV service.

good TV, but a slight correction

"while this is in fact a very good TV, it is not as the first review above states "made in America" , which is one of the reasons I bought it. it is , in fact MADE IN CHINA, which is printed on the box, and the TV itself. I don't know what could have led anybody to conclude otherwise. its a good TV, but it's made in CHINA"

Great Picture, better audio than a Philips...

Pros: very good sound for a 32" class tv...., very clear picture (esp when used with hd dvr)
Model Number: Element 32" Class 720p LCD HDTV
"I bought 3 of these to upgrade the TV's in the rooms @ our B&B. I was really impressed when setting them up, very easy to do, the autoscan feature finds the regular digital AND the HD stations in your area. You can watch, say channel 10, or watch 'the same in HD' on channel 1010. When you add this to a digital HD DVR, the picture is pretty darned close to true 1080, but 720 is fine for our purposes.
Then, the inevitable happened~I NEEDED ANOTHER *ONE TV*, IMMEDIATELY!!! These AREN'T available in the warehouse, so reluctantly I bought a Philips 32", which was then 20 bucks more.
When I got the Philips home? It didn't hold a candle to the ELEMENT 32". Especially on the audio. The Philips TV's speakers are UNDERNEATH, which directs the sound down and muffles it. Needless to say, even thought the Philips logo looked snazzy in the room, it went back and I got another ELEMENT 32".
3 WEEKS LATER:
I have had NO complaints on the quality or operation of the TV's from ANY of the guests.
The ELEMENT 32" speakers are on the FRONT, and deliver very good audio at this price point."
