As far as I can tell, the only difference between Magnavox and Sylvania sets of the '80's and '90's are the name plastered on the set. And remember, Philps also acquired the Philco name when they purchased Sylvania from GTE in, IIRC, '81 (Philco was owned by GTE before the Philips takeover). I've worked on many Sylvania, Magnavox, and Philco branded NAP sets and I couldn't tell any difference in quality from one to another.
It's sad that current Sylvania consumer electronics products are rebadged Funai garbage. I don't know exactly when Philips lost control of the Sylvania name to the Funai Corp.
