Magnavox 42MF439B/F7 42-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
Review : Magnavox 42MF439B/F7 42-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV :
I purchased via a different online vendor (sale plus another discount paid for the shipping) – the TV’s box was well-packed with Styrofoam and the box took a beating (ala UPS) – but no damage to the unit. I’ve had the unit about 3 weeks and thus far, I have no complaints – nor do I expect any (fingers crossed, of course). As another reviewer noted, the remote is basic – very basic, but functional. I too was slightly disappointed with a few of the input limitations, however there are a host of alternatives with which to tinker
I’m not particularly impressed with the stand – it “looks” nice, but it sure doesn’t feel very stable – the base is plastic, a rather thin-feeling plastic, at least to me. If the unit is never going to be moved, I suspect it’s a safe set-up, however if there is any chance of the thing being moved regularly (e.g., plugging items into the back where all the input jacks are housed) or perhaps reachable by small children, I’d vote for securing the thing to the wall or whatever it is housed in – just to be safe.
