Hi
I Have to buy a new TV soon.
Can anyone help me with first-hand info on these sets from Wal-Mart?

RCA 32" SDTV Model# 32v434t ( Thomson Electronics)

ILO 32" SDTV Model# IWT 3206 (Funai)

The RCA has a few more features and costs about $30 more, but Funai seems to have a little better repair reputation than RCA. I can't find any specific reviews of either set, only brand information in general. I am naturally a bit leery of any 32" set below $300. The 3yr extended warranty from Wal-Mart for about $30 gives a little reassurance, but I would still like to hear from a few owners. Has anyone actually bought one of these sets?

Thanks

I have a 20" RCA that I bought from walmart 2 yrs ago. The tv has been excellent. I too had heard of bad tv ratings from RCA,but my experirience has been very good. I have heard of Ilo but have no 411 on their products.

My 32 inch RCA only lasted about 5 years. My advice, stay away from Wal-Mart for television buying purposes. Go to Best Buy or Circuit City.

After about 4 years, a 27 inch RCA set that I had, became very dark. Brightness and contrast had to be turned up full blast to even see a dim picture.

The most recent RCA TVs seem to hold better in quality than they did in the past. RCA quality is equivalent to Funai quality. RCA uses higher-quality parts than Funai.

Bought the RCA 32v434t today. So far it's great. The RCA had more features than the ILO and had a better picture when I compared them side by side. I got the 3 year extended warranty also. I'll post an update here in a few months.
Thanks for the help.

I bought on in August they are so big that when it went out I bought an RCA and junked the ILO. Maybe I should of taken it apart and seen if there was a fuse or something.
