Amazon.com Product Description
The Zenith 32" plasma TV provides a cinema-feel for your home theater. The 16:9 screen aspect ratio lets you view programming in a variety of formats, up to- and including Widescreen. With a 1366 x 768 resolution, details pop; and the 1200:1 panel contrast ratio produces deep blacks, brilliant whites and truly vivid colors.

The DVI (Digital Video Interface) transfers uncompressed, high definition video for stunning display. You'll experience the true quality of a high-def source. Super IPS viewing lets you watch from almost any angle, meaning folks sitting at the periphery get the same incredible visuals.

Versatile connections let you input a variety of signals, including hi-res component, S-video and DVI, as well as the standard A/V composite. Connect practically any VCR, computer or video game system.

Product Description
The advent of widescreen TV lets you see DVD video as they were meant to be seen, in the 16:9 aspect ratio of a theater screen. Furthermore, when adding optional HDTV service, all widescreen programs will be naturally displayed. As it comes, there's an analog NTSC TV tuner that lets you watch regular VHF and UHF broadcasts. With high-resolution, superior contrast, high brightness, and wide viewing angle, this TV is truly the zenith of its class. With fast 16ms screen response, this TV is suited for complex, fast graphic displays - particularly for action games from XBox, Playstation, and PC systems. Side speakers deliver excellent stereo sound and there are connectivity ports to enable easy hook-up with a home-theater system for surround sound capability. This 32-inch widescreen LCD flat-panel delivers an outstanding 1200:1 contrast-ratio. LCD is technologically superior to Plasma for long-term integrity and lower print-through. Why aim for average when you can go for the Zenith? 500 Nits cd/m2 High Brightness - Renders an incredibly bright picture, even in light-drenched environments DVI with HDCP - The Digital Video Interface (DVI) provides an uncompressed transfer of high definition video from a digital video source to a digital display device.

1 out of 5 stars Stay away from Zenith !!   February 16, 2007

Prior to buying the TV we had a 27" CRT TV that lasted 19 years. So we decided to buy a new TV since it was getting old. So in 1/17/2004 we bought a 40" Projection TV with a 2 years extended warranty. The TV has been performing great and we have been very happy with it until just last week when we noticed "blue shadows" all over the screen.
After looking over the manual and adjusting the convergence, no success.

To fix this TV outside of its warranty will cost over $1,000 dollars, and with prices on TV's dropping it makes no sense to send it in for repair. It has basically become a disposable TV. We are very disappointed that our TV has only lasted 3 years. I'm sending it to Goodwill.

I'm very disappointed that Zenith will not stand behind their products. My only mistake was not researching Zenith TVs prior to buying since I had full faith in the brand.

I found other people on the internet with the same exact problem !!

I'm sorry to say this was my last Zenith TV.

I bought this television in March and it is wonderful. Don't let these vagabond reviewers dissuade you from purchasing one of the best deals on the market.


1 out of 5 stars I'd issue 0 Stars if I could   July 5, 2006

I have had 4 different issues with this product and service from Zenith has been poor...to say the least.

I can't believe that something that I bought new like this could have so many issues - and the way Zenith has (NOT) responded to my issues, I had no choice but all but "Force" a return of this product for money back.

I am sorry I bought a Zenith - I won't do that again !

The guy with the dead pixel should have plugged his TV in before he signed for delivery - that's what I did. This TV has been great, I've been using it with my Gamecube, DVDs and even through DVI with my computer. This is about as cheap as you're going to find a namebrand 32 inch LCD and I'll tell you - I don't feel like I've skimped at all.


1 out of 5 stars Nice TV, but ...   May 13, 2005

The TV itself is awesome. The picture is great. I've rediscovered TV with this baby. This TV is better on all aspects than the $2500+ Sony, Panasoic, Sharp, etc.

Sadly, all LCD manufacturers hide a dirty little secret. My TV came with a dead pixel. J&R won't ship me a new one unless Zenith authorizes them. I called Zenith. Zenith said I had to have 3 dead pixels or more for them to consider it defective. This dead pixel policy has been around since LCD technology first came into being. I could understand it in the early 90s, but the industry has had enough time to improve their fabrication process. They are ripping the customer off.

This TV would easily get 5 stars if it didn't come with a dead pixel. Buyer beware!!!!
