Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Easily one of the most affordable 20-inch stereo TVs around, the Apex AT2008S offers basic and convenience features for anything from kitchens to home theaters on a budget. Its stylish silver exterior complements many other audio/video components, and its three picture modes--normal, theater, and personal--lend the set to compact home theater use. The set includes a 181-channel NTSC broadcast tuner.

Standard RF and composite-video inputs accommodate DVD players, cable boxes, VCRs, and other AV equipment (up to three devices total), and a set of rear-panel AV outputs lets you route the TV's audio and video to a surround receiver (for Dolby Pro Logic decoding from select programming) or to a VCR for off-air recording. Side-mounted AV inputs make it a little easier to hook up accessories like a camcorder, gaming console, or even a second VCR. The set also features a trilingual onscreen display (English, Spanish, French), closed-caption display, V-Chip parental control, auto-off, and a 23-key remote control.

What's in the Box
TV, remote control, batteries, and a user's manual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for a 2nd Tv or Guestroom!, December 18, 2003

This is a good value for the money. We have this TV set up in a second bedroom of our house. The picture and sound are good for the money. So far what impresses me is that for about $100.00 we have a TV that is hooked up with individual items such as VCR/DVD/PS2/Gamecube with no sound or picture problems (Knock on wood).
On the down side this thing ways a ton, I think we weighed it on our scale at close to 60 pounds, but it seems sturdy and plays well.
I'd recommend this to anyone who was looking for another TV and didn't want to spend a lot of cash. It's not tiny like a 13" and it's got good picture and sound. What more could you ask for with that price?
I'd consider giving this as a gift also with confidence that it would be a good addition to my loved ones home/office/etc.

4.0 out of 5 stars good value, December 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Apex AT2008S 20" Color TV with Stereo Sound (Electronics)

While I agree with Wann that the TV is not the best, I have not encountered the problems he has. Perhaps he should return the TV, Amazon is very good about returns. I did not have either the picture or sound distortions. I use cable; my channels are in order. As such, there were no channels to jump over. I do not know if it will behave erractically if I try to use it more fully. A simple universal remote at Target or Best Buy is under $...anyway. I bought the TV for the kids, for DVD and gaming. It is doing an admirable job for the purpose. It's a good value, though I will not attest to the engineering. I get a feeling many Apex products suffer a defect or two as a number of second-hand stories indicate. But that's one of the reasons why one orders from Amazon who will cover even the shipping costs if something arrives in a defective condition. They will also accept returns if it breaks down soon after arrival, but you'll be charged s&h.

I've had this tv for close to 8 months now... I can only say good things about it. It looks gorgeous, the sound is great, the image is top-notch, and it works with my vcr, dvd player, digital camcorder, everything! I paid a very good price for it and I have not been disappointed.

I would definitely recommend this item to anybody, that's how good I think it is.

No, it's not perfect, but for this price, it's top of the line!
