Ordered one, despite the reviews, and it arrived DOA.

Amazon very quickly sent out a replacement, with expedited shipping (way to go Amazon), but that too was DOA.

Don't bother with this unit, which by the way is not an Axion, it is ACTION. Even the cardboard box it is packaged in is cheap and recycled. Too bad.

I am going to order a different brand, one that is rated highly!!!

Any TVs from AXION or American Action should be avoided. I hear nothing but trouble about them, and I have recently purchased an TFT LCD 3.2" color TV by AXION, and it's a big disappointment. This type of TV is fine, if it's not from American Action or AXION. I have a Sylvania that looks exactly like this one, and it works great! Just don't buy an AXION or American Action model, and it will be ok.

I was very disappointed that through no fault of this product, in the Cleveland/Akron area, I only could receive one channel inside or out. It is ideal though for hooking up a video game, DVD player, or any other video source, and the AM-FM radio is a great feature. Also, just a non-solicited note, I want to thank Amazon for carrying this and similar obscure products. I searched Best Buy, Circuit City and Wal-Mart (smaller electronics section so I understand)looking for a similar product to no avail. Through product reviews and customer comments, I was able to get much more information here than at the retailers. Ultimately, I did return the TV to Amazon.

I bought this TV in December and 60 days later, the picture tube went out. Of course, the warranty had expired by then and it was 30 days past the day when I could return it back to Amazon.com. I can't believe Amazon allows garbage like this to be sold!

I did not order this from Amazon, but it was a "We're Sorry" gift from a company who screwed up during customer service who shall remain nameless for now. The first TV they sent was already not working when I opened it-picture tube broken. Then this company sent me a second, which works, but we'll see how long it lasts. It is really hard to find a channel here in Northeast Ohio on this little TV. The tuning is not so wonderful. But for a fun little cheap thing you won't mind losing or breaking on a road trip or at the beach, it will do.

I was quite unhappy with this TV and as a result returned it. The audio was poor, the picture was poor and the controls were hard to operate. Amazon.com generally provides good products; however, in this case they slipped badly.
