Good item for the money; a few quirks
Pros
Cheap TV with nice features; compact
Cons
Quirky remote and TV-to-DVD function
Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
Overall, a good value for nice features. We can deal with the quirks.
For this inexpensive item, I found a lot to like.
*Good picture quality
*Good sound quality
*Very good value for the money
*Has a DVD player
*Compact, so it fits almost anywhere
*Lightweight
These are really the things we were looking for in a TV, so we feel we got our money's worth, certainly.
This TV/DVD is not without its quirks, however, most of which are related to this unit in particular, but one has to do with the simple fact that it is an LCD TV:
*As with all LCDs, you have to place this TV right in front of you at twelve o'clock and at eye level to see the picture properly. With the older TVs, of course, you could see equally well from pretty much anywhere in the room. So if you're replacing one of those with an LCD and your cable wire is in an elevated or off-center position in respect to where you will be sitting, this will dampen your viewing experience.
*(minor) Unusual remote. This remote is different from the many universal remotes I've used. Things are in unusual places and words you thought of as being the same from other universal remotes now have separate buttons. If you like intuitive equipment, this is a minor inconvenience. You may have to spend a little extra time familiarizing yourself.
*(minor) Tech-savvy issue: If you're not really a techie person, don't shut the TV off before setting up the wizard that appears when you first turn it on unless you know how to find the channel scan functions and what have you manually. (It's under menu.) The wizard won't reappear when you turn the TV on again. You'll have to run the scans manually.
* Some DVD player quirks. While watching a DVD I tried to turn up the volume but hit the channel button instead. I discovered I had turned off the DVD with that one little faux pas and when I went back to play, the DVD started all over again. Pain in the kiester to have to go to scene selection and try to sort out where we were. If you're very, very careful about what you press, this might end up being a good thing if you want to switch from DVD to TV without having to hit a function button.
