Dynex 42 LCD Flat Screen Review

Right before Christmas our old Panasonic tube TV bit the dust. Just when we thought shopping was all over for another year my lovely wife and I were forced back into the thronging crowds to spend what we thought would be another seven or eight hundred dollars at least. But I was in no mood to spend that kind of money if I didn't have to.

I had recently seen or read positive comments (great picture/inexpensive) about the Dynex flat panel TV and decided to investigate further.

Before I started digging into who makes Dynex TV's I wanted to find out what "inexpensive" meant in the world of flat screen TV's. As it turned out, "inexpensive" meant $499 for a 42" LCD TV from Dynex which was $130 less than a similar size Sony and $170 less than the Panasonic.

The next thing I did was read the reviews. I'll usually read a couple of the good reviews first, and then head directly to the one and two star reviews to look for potential problems. The only complaint of note was that the sound system wasn't as robust as it could have been but you can fix that by adjusting the audio equalizer from the remote.

Now, back to "Who makes Dynex TV's?" After a little more research I discovered that Dynex is the house brand for Best Buy. Along with SEC, Audiovox, and Sanyo, Dynex is manufactured by the Xiamen Overseas Chinese Electronics Company or XOCECO for short. Not that it really makes any difference. I don't think anybody really knows where anything is made anymore except to say "somewhere in China."

One thing I didn't check on, because as a non-tech it never occurred to me, was whether or not the Dynex would be compatible with our existing array of electronic devices. My assumption proved correct and indeed it had all the inputs for game consoles, DVD players, head phones, etc. that we needed. I can even use the screen as a monitor for my computer.

The only remaining test was to view the picture for ourselves; so off we went to Best Buy to take a look. To tell you the truth, neither my wife nor I could discern a difference in picture quality from one make to the next. And the picture on the Dynex actually looked better than those on more expensive models purchased by our friends a year or two ago.

Once we got it home it was a simple matter of connecting the HDMI cord to the cable box and plugging the TV into the outlet. (Actually, all your electronic gizmos, including the TV, should be plugged into a surge protector which in turn is plugged into the outlet.)

My wife couldn't be happier with her new Hi-Def wide screen TV, and I appreciate all the same bells and whistles found on more expensive brands.

I waited six months to write this review just in case something happened - good or bad you would have heard about it. As it stands, my wife and I are very happy with our purchase and recommend the Dynex LCD Flat Screen TV without reservation to friends and family.
