FAVI L3226EA-BL 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV (Black) Review

Since this TV only has 2 reviews, I decided to write my own.

PROS:

-1080p looks great - I'm using this for my Xbox 360 and my games look amazing. Blacks are black and the colors are good.
-No stuck or bright pixels, but one half-broken pixel(does not display red) This took me a week to even notice and I really had to look closely
-Plenty of connections in the back
-Low price - the next cheapest 32" 1080p is at least 40 bucks more, and a brand-name one will set you back at least 250 more.
-Shiny (could be a con for some people that touch their tv alot)
-Comes with an accessory bag (For the power cable and remote, haha)
-Built in speakers are pretty good for a LCD.
-Accepts 1080p over component
-Power LED is dim and green, off is dim red. I hate those bright blue ones - they're annoying, especially at night.

CONS:

-Menu is too simple - Theres only the basic calibrations for this tv (brightness, contrast, color) and no fancy settings. This is the biggest con for me.
-Remote is a little cheap - but that doesn't matter, right?
-Infrared sensor on the tv kind of sucks. Have to point the remote directly at the tv without any sort of obstructions.
-No video cables included - Not sure if other TV's come with at least composite, but go do yourself a favor and get a HDMI or component cable if you don't have one already.
-You might have to squeeze if you have 3 HDMI cables plugged in - they're a bit close.

OTHER:

I'm not able to comment on the channel surfing on this set as I use a cable box to watch TV. However, it does state that there are ATSC and QAM tuners built in. Also this is my first real HDTV (other than a computer monitor) so I can't comment on common problems and if they are in this set or not. They included some sort of accessory bag, but it only had the remote, the power cable, and some sort of plastic cover that I don't know what it goes to (possibly if you take the stand off to mount it?). For the price you pay, you can't get any better. If you're looking for a 32" 1080p, don't care about the brand, and have money constraints, this is the tv to get. If you're looking for a brand name tv or one with all sorts of image calibrations and settings, you should look elsewhere.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.

If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Bad Choice - Should have known better -
Bought the 32' WHITE tv .It arrived promptly. Picture is disappointing. Iemailed for support
and was told you must have an antenna problem. Support is not being helpful inspite of several e mails for help.I feel like I wasted 0.I cannot recommend this product or company. I should have stuck with the name brands !!

what an amazing (32" lcd tv with/ full hd 1080p by favi, l3226ea-bl). i was pleasently surprised at the picture and price. this is my third lcd tv so i think i can be a critic sort of. i paid about 1/3 of what i would have if it was some other brand name. in summation it was the best (0) i ever spent. the picture is just fabulous. i've also preordered their (42in.) lcd tv which will be out in (september). keep up the good work (FAVI).
