42" Magnavox

Post #319,356 by jbrabeck 12/30/09 8:13:21 PM Reply	42" Magnavox Have had it for about 4 years. Of course you need the remote to do most of the adjusting, and the remote keeps disappearing. Oh, and the universals do NOT work with the TV. Don't know the wattage, Does put out a lot of heat. Great color and contrast. Better than the 32" LCD in the bedroom (wife's TV).

Did find the remote. Lost again, so now it's like the old TV. Get up and turn off the TV. Cable box controls the channel, and sound system controls the volume. Of course the grandkid has found the control buttons so sometimes it takes a bit of fiddling to get everything working correctly.

Now that I think of it, I did have to teach my (ex)wife that habit. Wade. Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers? A:No, the fingers should be eaten separately.

Mom's favorite daughter, so I can't say much. Mom is FINALLY getting fed up, after 16 months, but still won't say anything. Anyway, once they move back out, I'm sure the remote will magically reappear.

Doesn't work, they epoxy eventually separates from the remotes, unless you drill holes in them for it to grab onto, but then... you have to do a lot more work to prepare it. Only downfall, replacing the batteries.
