Summary: do not waste your money!!
Comments: I tried this TV out the 1st night I got it and the V-Chip decided on its own to lock out a few channels. Customer service could not help me. They authorized a return to the Chino CA warehouse. It cost me $38.00 to send it to them. A MONTH LATER I got the replacement only after repeated calls to customer service over the delays, and run-arounds with customer service supervisors (customer service is itself a treat with this company -NOT!!). As soon as I tried out this replacement TV, it also started to lock out various channels on its own. It will lock out a channel at random for 15 to 60 minutes all on its own. Customer service does not call me back . do not waste your money. |

Summary: Hard to beat for the price level........
Comments: Great display out of the box with minor adjustment for color, tint, etc. Exceptional display w/DVD. Sound quality is great. This is a substantial unit and difficult to beat at this price level. |

Summary: Great Picture, No Digital Outputs for Dolby & DTS
Comments: Great picture, plays ething I put in it. I can not believe there is no digital output on an HD set. This would be 5 stars with that1feature. I have never seen a DVD player without digital out, which makes me wonder about the quality of the DVD player. The speakers sound a little high pitch, however not too bad. For the money, not a bad deal. Amazon.com ships free and I got it in about3days in California. Go with the free shipping. What a deal. |

Summary: Hard to complain about this LCD TV
Comments: I have had this LCD TV/DVD combo tv for about a week now and I am primarily using it in the office for computer and DVD watching. It's amazing how much better the picture appears when using the built in DVD player instead of the DVD drive in my computer. The TV picture is nice, despite the "made in China" brand name. The brightness level needed to be tweaked a little before an adequate picture could be watched however overall, it has a decent remote control and it works as advertised. The housing is not at all cheap looking, which you wouldn't expect in this price range and the sound quality does not sound "tinny" or like laptop computer speakers.1thing to note is the computer resolution, which is not stated anywhere however in the manual. It is not 1280x768, which is the native resolution of the LCD TV, however rather 1028x768. I was a bit disappointed that the VGA input would only produce this resolution, as there are other 17" LCD TV's that do higher. I was a bit misled thinking that it would produce the resolution advertised as the TV's resolution. I love amazon and would have returned this TV in a heartbeat if it did not perform to its pricetag, however this product turned out to be a keeper. Hope this helps other purchaseers. |
