Review 1 for Sanyo 42" 2D-3D Class LCD 1080p 60Hz Internet Connected HDTV, DP42851
Not Ready for Primetime

Picture quality is good & sound is fair. This TV is not Internet Ready it doesn't matter if it's hooked up wired or wireless it doesn't work. It tells you it needs to do a update and to turn TV back on after 5 mins. after 30+ times trying it still doesn't work. This TV also makes a slight humming noise while on. If you just want a cheap 3D TV and don't care about the internet connection the price is right.

I was a great inexpensive HDTV however I was really disappointed that it only came with apps that you have to mostly pay and it's by subscription. Like Vudu Movies and Netflix, however it did not come with YouTube, and other apps that other Smart TVs have. Notwithstanding, the rest of the features were great, yet I did not like the sound quality as much, since the speakers were in the back of the TV.

I have had the TV for almost a week now and have tried most of the functions. It receives the internet wifi well so I can stream movies directly to the TV which is nice. We have 2 3D channels in our area and the looks so cool on this TV. I just wish I could put some of my stuff on the TV with out having to sign up with the pre installed VUDU which also works well.
I am very happy with my purchase.

While I do think this is a great TV for the features it has and the price, we did end up returning it within a few days for two reasons. First, this tv makes a constant buzzing/humming noise when it is on. It has nothing to do with the connections, component audio, feedback or anything else, it makes this noise when watching recorded shows that are paused, and when absolutely nothing is plugged in to the TV/connections. It is just simply something that you have to deal with on this TV. It is so loud/annoying I could hear it even while watching shows, especially during pauses in conversations. Second, there is a huge 'soap opera' effect with the picture, and there are no options whatsoever to turn it off or adjust it as with other models. There are very limited menu options as far as adjusting the features. Since the picture and the sound are pretty much the two main functions of a TV, and they both were undesirable, we took it back. If I could adjust the picture, I would have been willing to deal with the humming noise, and vice versa. But not both.

Review 6 for Sanyo 42" 2D-3D Class LCD 1080p 60Hz Internet Connected HDTV, DP42851
Very Happy Gamer

I bought the Sanyo 42" 2D-3D TV for one main reason, to play my Xbox 360 Games in 3D. As a gamer, who has been playing games since Pong ( I am 41 years of age as of this review ), I am extremely satisfied with the TV playing my games in 3D. The 2D to 3D conversion brings a great depth to my regular games, while the games set up to be played in 3D are absolutely amazing. If you want a TV to play your games in 3D on the cheap, THIS is your TV.
Watching regular television programming with the 2D to 3D conversion is well done and very enjoyable. Watching a bluray movie made for 3D is, just like the games, absolutely amazing.
I did not have any issues with the internet connection as some other reviewers had, but I decided to hardwire (IE plug the TV straight into the router) and have it update itself before I went to a wireless connection. The internet stuff on the TV is nice, but I, myself, don't use it much because I'm more of a gamer.
The only issues I had was that the glasses that were included were a little small for my taste, but since I have 2 small children, I already bought a larger pair for myself and my wife, while the kids use the ones it came with.

If you are wanting to pay less than $500.00 for a 3D TV, the Sanyo 42" 2D-3D Class LCD 1080p will not disappoint.

All I was looking for was a TV with Wi-Fi/internet connectivity, PC/USB capabilities, but I got myself all that and more, so I'm generally very happy with the range of features this TV comes with. I'm yet to explore the full range of features, so I'll limit myself to what I have experienced. The sound quality is not that great for such a sophisticated device, though. I wouldn't rate the picture quality in SD as excellent either, if the factory settings it comes with are anything to go by. However, I'm happy with the picture in HD.

The 2D to 3D feature is not a reason to buy this TV, because theirs very little change when selecting this feature. But, the 3D feature is quite good I must say, as well as picture and sound quality. Overrall Im happy about my puchase.

I almost didn't buy this TV because of all the negative reviews. I'm glad I did!
I figured Walmart would take it back if it failed to work. Everything worked perfectly the first time through. I scanned my cable channels, it connected to my 8 year old Mircosoft wireless G router with WEP security. I messed with the settings for picture and audio a bit, and boosted the bass all the way. The sound is good on this TV. I then turned it off and moved it to its spot in the living room. By the time I did that, when I turned it on , it informed me that it had done a firmware upgrade. It must have been downloading it before I unplugged it. Awesome. The netflix button worked the first time, no problems. I entered my netflix userid and password, and away it went.
The picture on this tv is also great. Don't let anyone tell you that the 60HZ refresh rate is a problem because it is not. I watched an $850 LG at Best Buy that had all the same specs, and this tv is just as good. The 2d to 3d up convert is cool. It seems as good as the LG I looked at in the store. It's not as good as a 3d movie made specifally for 3d, but it is decent and the kids love it. Some 3d-ish video for the kids witout the cost of 3d blueray movies. If they made this tv in a 32" class, I'd buy another for the master bedroom. Get one, you will love it.

my self and 3 of my friends bought this TV because of the super low price for a 3D TV.The 2D to 3D works to a point,not real good compared to other TVs ive looked at.Theres no way to select your 3D mode such as side by side or top bottom or sensio on broadcast 3D such as when the olympics was on.The auto selection dosent work on broadcat at all and after 4 weeks of dealing with Sanyo we all returned the TVs. Sanyo was really trying to help but finally admitted that they didnt have a clue what the trouble was and their engineers couldnt figure it out either.They even got cabel boxes from ATT and Warner to test them and found out thats not the problem.Sorry buut overall id rate this TV a ZERO.

Bought this product from walmart.com and used the site-to-store. Product arrived much sooner than expected. All features work fine as expected. The wireless connection using the Netflix app works well. Other apps include Vudu and Facebook, but all other apps except Netflix have to be accessed via a Vudu account. Would be nice if an app for Hulu is added. The quality of the 2D to 3D picture is okay. Not the best quality picture but it is very good considering its price.

the biggest mistake ever I ever made. I bought this TV on a Sunday, set up went great. I thought it was going to be a great TV, boy was I wrong. The 3D works great thru the DVD player but will not work thru the 3d channels on the cable box..Sanyo can not tell me why. ??? My son's Vizio works great, while all I get is a split screen. I only have about 15 of the "100" net apps. Only one music app and that would be a heavy metal one..lol..On Monday I had to reset the TV to factory settings to get it to reconnect to the internet (twice).. this is Tuesday and I will be returning it. I am not going to fight with a TV on a daily basis to get it to do what I paid for it to do...

Take Care

This was the second tv we had to buy because the first one only lasted 16 days. We watched NBC nightly news through Vudu, went to church, came home and it no longer worked. It wouldn't power up.
We've tried to use the direct cat 5 cable port on the back of each of the TV's and it won't work. We're computer technicians and we do know how to directly connect a modem or router to the TV.
We had issues with the Netflix interface. After 3 days it stopped working. We contacted Netflix who, after having us deactivate and reactivate our account, referred us to Sanyo. Our Netflix account works fine online.
It took Sanyo three days to call us back to inform us that Netflix had a problem interfacing with the Sanyo server. We do not have a paid TV service. The only TV we watch is Netflix and the channels on the net apps. We were very disappointed with the service support. I also advised Sanyo about the direct ethernet connection port on the back of this second tv and they said "that's strange" and told me they'd send a message up the ladder to corporate.
That was a week ago and I have still not heard back from them. There is a 90 day warranty on this tv so I intend to make sure it's extended because I just don't feel confident in this product at all.
When the tv is working it is terrific. The picture is clear and the 2d-3d feature is great. We still haven't been able to use the closed captioning feature either. I am hard of hearing and the TV should have an incorporated closed captioning feature...it does, but it doesn't work yet that I can tell. We have movies with closed caption as a feature of the movie and that's the only time the words appear on the screen. If we watch the news the closed captioning doesn't work nor if we watch any of the pre-recorded net apps.
Sadly, I am unimpressed with this item and for the total of 502 dollars, it wasn't really worth it. We have 3 other TV's in the home but we wanted WI-fi. I'm beginning to wonder if we would have been better off simply buying the necessary items to connect our current TV's to the internet.
