My Experience: After reading the customer reviews on the RCA L42WD22, I shall consider myself fortunate to have enjoyed this product since purchasing it on sale in Trenton, Ontario back in late 2006; longer than most, it would appear!

Problems: Was working fine. Turned off. Returned as usual to resume use. Was suddenly receiving only 'Unusable Signal' floating message, no pic, no sound. Unable to use via satellite box or DVD, or on its own. And had begun shutting off on its own! Retired, I guess! Note, already had a negative Wal-Mart RCA purchase experience with a CD/stereo unit, as well. Took months and months of inconvenience to get a replacement and then it 'died' after a short time. No more!
