When considering your purchase of a new television, certain considerations must be made. In this comparison we found that both of these entry level Tvs are very similar. If styling is a consideration then look elsewhere. Both of these units are in the basic black category and there is nothing eye-catching about either one. The front bezel of the Magnavox is is wider than the Sanyo, which does not help because that extra space is not being used for better speakers.

The Sanyo is priced on the average, about $50 less than Magnavox\\\'s 37-inch unit. While both of these TVs claim to be Hi-Def, the resolution is only 720p, not the full 1080i of true Hi-Def. Both have suitable remote controls that handle other devices, both also have the essential connections in back. At this price point the Sanyo gets the best of this comparison. While Magnavox is an established TV and electronics maker, so is Sanyo, in fact Sanyo\\\'s long history of making consumer electronics is a benefit since today\\\'s televisions are more digital than ever before.
