Just purchased this unit at SM at 35k. straight or cash. My observations. Remote is queer, not the usual layout of button. No clock function. Cannot name video inputs, but selectable between STB, DVD, etc.. Menu font and layout has a very basic look compared to Sony. Video quality using dream sucks. I do not know if it is the tv or dream. Will have to try cignal. With HD material, this tv is great. Have not tried using the analog tv tuner.
Overall, if you want HD 42 inch screen with no frills, this is it. . Otherwise, you need to add 15 to 20k. It think this targets institutions considering the price and the no frills, and the ability to choose between home mode or shop mode or dealer mode. In dealer mode, you can lock the remote, the channel,volume, etc.So basically, only the power button works. I do not know if other tvs also have this function.
