What's great about it: Love the Picture and the price ...
What's not so great: features like: HDMI only 2, NO pc connection and sound is just OK
But overall, the LCD TV is really nice for the price for 399.00 + tax and a 4 years geek protection warranty .... I should hope this is a good buy. So far, my kids are happy playing their games in their WII console, etc. I've played some HD movies good picture quality, but the sound no so good. I decided to upgrade to a sound bar which is PERFECT for my needs.

What's great about it: Picture, Sounds, Footprint
What's not so great: For the money? NOTHING
This is a $399 dollar television that absolutely rocks. The picture is indistinguishable from my $2,000 dollar Samsung and the speaker sound is actually better. I bought this TV for my bedroom and watch it almost every evening and have zero complaints. It's not a whiz-bang set by any stretch, but it's easily worth twice what I paid for it. CRYSTAL clear picture, very clear sound with lots of power to hear from 25 feet away, easy set up.
If you don't need the whiz-bang stuff and are just looking for a TV that delivers amazing picture and sound, this TV is for you.
This product has... Easy to set up, Great value and features for the price, Right number of connections, Easy to use remote control, amazing led picture for a tv at any price

What's great about it: Clear picture, lightweight, easy setup
What's not so great: Glare/reflection on screen, missing some features I'm used to on an older tv
I bought this TV for my bedroom and originally planned to buy something smaller than the one in the living room. When I saw this was so inexpensive and a brand I trust (my 20" Dynex LCD has been dropped and beaten up in DJ setups for 2 years), I decided that my bedroom could use a better TV than the 2007 720p Samsung in the living room.
It's great for connecting the computer to watch web videos, and looks fine watching DirecTV. Unfortunately, there are a few drawbacks that I didn't expect since they aren't present on the Samsung. First, the glare and reflections from light in the room make it difficult to play some video games on it. Not a big deal, but a little annoying. Second, I keep trying different codes, but I can't get the DirecTV remote to change the input. It also treats both of the seperate "off" and "on" buttons as just "power."
Another annoying thing my older tv doesn't do... When cycling thru inputs, you have to pass all five of em. My older tv won't let you select an input if nothing is plugged into it, so it's faster to switch between them. Lastly, this is something that's becoming more common on all tvs, there's no analog audio output (not even headphones).
To sum up, I'm happy with the TV, but I'm also aware that I sacrificed a few things to get the cheapest 42" 1080p TV in the store.

What's great about it: Good price, Can move it myself, Large cc letters
What's not so great: Sound could be a lot better. Not much control over volume.
I do not have High Def service on my satellite box. Hoping when it's connected properly the sound will be better. Would like to be able to change channels with the Dynex control. Nuisance to use 2 controls.
For a 42" TV, I think the sale price was reasonable.

I had to return the first one I bought because the power didn't work. The picture quality is ok but not what you would expect from an LED tv. For the size, it is an excellent value though ... Not enough HDMI connections!

What's great about it: Has the best picture!
What's not so great: Can't find anything we don't like.
We wanted a tv this size for a "sorta-outside" patio. We didn't want to spend a fortune, but we wanted LED. This was the best purchase we have made in a long time. We knew nothing about this brand, but we took a chance (There wasn't even one on display) It is only 1.5" thick, fits on the wall mount beautifully, and the speakers produce great sound. We are both so glad we did! Out of all the TVs in the house, this one has the BEST picture of them all.

What's great about it: it was the cheapest 42" lcd led
What's not so great: the picture is terrible, black is gray, people's faces fake looking
this dynex 42" LED LCD TV was the cheapest 42" they had.
when i connect to digital cable, it is very ugly. their are large gray pixels where it should be black areas while netflix movies.
when i connect to digital cable, it is very ugly. their are large gray pixels where it should be black areas while netflix movies.
when i hook up my security cameras the video looks too bright and even the picture adjustments will not correct the problem.
while watching the news, when its usually more high definition, the people's faces look almost like they are peach colored clay, and very fake. no matter what i do to the color enhancements, i can not fix the picture quality.
i am going to return this to bestbuy before my 30 days is up.

What's great about it: Worked 4 months without trouble
What's not so great: No service after one month
Bought 12-20-2012. Worked great until 4-15-2012. #0425-020-1867-122011,#42e250 Dynex @ $399.99. NOW it will not turn on. Geek Squad does not repair on site from Friday to Sunday, my ONLY days off. Didn't realize 4 month old TVs like this had to be thrown away if you don't spend the extra money for "Extended" warranty.
I purchased many hundreds of dollars worth of stuff at the same time as TV purchase and couldn't afford service plans for all items. That's where Best Buy screws you. Never get my business again.

The TV works great. Only issue was the sales associate, who did and said anything to upsell me on a more expensive TV. She said they did not carry this TV, checked the computer, did not have any in stock. Told her that the Best Buy Web site shows and availbility at this store. She advised that you cannot believe that information. Getting ready to leave and all of a sudden they have one in stock. She took me over to the stock and their were many of these TVs right in front of the TV service desk. Good product but watch the sales game and pushy approach to the warranty.

What's not so great: Picture in HD
The first TV we picked up was defective. It would turn off by itself and then would go to the loud snowy screen I used to see when I didn't have cable and turned to a channel that did not exist. We exchanged it and it works fine now. Not the best TV we have in the house, but for the price, it works well for a bedroom TV. Would not use this TV for playing video games or in large rooms with out sound systems.

What's great about it: Real LED-LCD picture and easy to use
What's not so great: It only have 1 component input, so I have to alternate my dvd/wii since they are not hdmi
So far, this is the 3rd Dynex I've purchased. I absolutely love this brand and its quality. Super easy to install and turn on. Real high quality picture. I don't have cable, so I only watch local tv and even then everything is awesome. The only downfall is that it only has 1 component connection, so I have to alternate it between my Wii and DVD player, since they are not hdmi, but other than that its amazing!

I purchased this TV thinking it was a good value. WRONG! I got it home and turned it on, it had a dead pixel right out of the box. Also, the speakers are AWFUL. They make everything sound super flat and the 1080p looks like garbage even at the highest settings. I own 2 Samsungs and 1 vizio for my home and this Dynex doesn't even come close. It was going to be used primarily for my business. Glad I didn't let any of my client see it.

PROS
Picture was great, but only if you're sitting right in front of this TV. Form factor (black bezel) looks great for a minimalist setup. Fast moving images were not blurred or pixelated.

I noticed other LCD TVs on the market with much wider viewing angles, so I returned this TV. Unless the only chair you sit in is a lazy boy planted right in front of the TV, I would consider other TVs.

This is the second Dynex TV that I have bought. The value you get with Dynex is great. The picture quality on this TV is amazing. When I bought this TV in December, it only cost me about half of what it is listed for now so make sure to wait for the sales. My only complaints are with inputs. It only has two HDMI inputs, no VGA input, and only coaxial digital out, not optical. If you have a computer, make sure it has HMDI output, but even then this TV does not have enough HDMI inputs.
