Zenith C32V37 32-Inch HDTV Integrated TV
Great HDTV for the money
I just bought this TV 3 days ago and I have been very impressed with it.  When I first saw this TV in Best Buy 5 weeks ago, I was real excited.  Then I saw some of the reviews on this website and my excitement was dampered.  But my desire for a TV like this pushed me to due my own research about the negatives mentioned.<br />The February 18th review mentions a zapping and flickering in the TV picture after leaving the set on for an hour.  I think this guy just got a bad TV---especially when you consider that TV stores leave their TV's on all day long.  Kinda hard to sell a TV if it's flickering and zapping huh?  I haven't seen it in the three C32V37's I've seen at Best Buy.<br />The January 31st review mentioned a problem with the component video.  Well, I brought a DVD to Best Buy and asked them to hook one of their DVD players up to the C32V37 as well as a Sony KV-32HS510.  I couldn't tell a difference in the picture.  On top of that, the TV I brought home has played DVD's beautifully.  The purity of the picture for DVD's reminds of what I see at a movie theater.  I also haven't noticed the overscanning mentioned in the Feb 24th review.<br />I also looked in several Consumer Reports guides.  While I could never find the C32V37's (not surprising since the TV just came out at the beginning of January 2004), I did find some interesting info on Zenith.  The Consumer Reports 2004 Home Digitial Entertainment Buying Guide recommended three Zenith TV's (not their top recommendations but still on the top 3 in each category).  They also mentioned that Zenith had the second highest number of customer compliants (RCA is number #1).  So this told me that Zenith makes a high quality product that is more prone to having problems than other brands.  Which isn't surprising giving the mix of mostly positive and a few negative reviews on this website.  So I decided I would go ahead and get it expecting that there could be a very small chance I might have a problem.  But that's whatthe manufacter's limited warranty is for! <br />I really like this TV and definitely recommend it---especially because it has an HDTV tuner built in.  The remote control is nice and regular TV (over cable) looks really good.  My only real complaint would be about the instruction guide.  It only covers all the features on the main menu. Granted that is 90% of the TV but I still had some more questions (like how do I decipher the symbols displayed when I hit the info button).  Overall, though, it's a great deal to get an integrated HDTV with great picture quality for only $1000!
