My Experience: I got my RCA L42WD22 LCD TV as a gift and it was just problem after problem. I had to constantly reprogram the TV because of unusable signal message all over the screen. When the auto program finally finishes the channels take about 10 seconds to appear. This happened again and then the TV would not find any of the analog channels just digital channels,but no sound from the digital channels either. What a piece of (expletive deleted).

Problems: unusable signal error frequently
channels slow to pull up once programmed
sound loss
