3.0 out of 5 stars Nifty little TV with a few issues, August 24, 2008

If you are reading this review, you know that there are not a lot of options out there for an under-cabinet TV like this. I had several criteria that I HAD to meet and this was the only one that met all the criteria. I needed it to be as large as possible while still flipping up under the cabinet. It needed to be able to swivel both directions and it had to look good in both the up and down positions.

My impressions of this TV: It feels cheap. The entire unit is very lightweight and feels flimsy. The screen is very light feeling. That is one of my main concerns with this product. The only other issue I had (have) with this product is as soon as I plugged it in, it started to make a very high pitch, high frequency sound. That sound goes away when you turn on the TV or DVD player, but it is there when the unit is in standby. I returned my first set because I figured there had to be a problem with it. Unfortunately, the second one makes the same sound, so I am under the impression that this is considered normal. I'm trying to see if I can live with the sound, but I'm very sensitive to high frequencies, so I am becoming quite annoyed by it. I really don't want to have to return this because there isn't anything else out there that is as slick as this.

The good things about this TV:
-Mounting was a breeze. It comes with a very simple template for drilling. I swear I had the thing mounted in 10 minutes.
-It has a very clean look.
-Picture quality seems pretty good. I'm not expecting a lot, but a 720p 12" screen is bound to look pretty good

The bad things about this TV:
-High pitch noise when in standby
-Lack of inputs/outputs. This ONLY has COAX (RF) input. Nothing else! I really wish it had at least a couple other options for inputs
-Would be nice if there was an option to connect external speakers.
-Cheap feeling (concerned about how long it will last)
-Expensive

4.0 out of 5 stars So far, I love it!, December 12, 2008

We have only had this for a week, but we are very pleased. It does have that high pitch sound, but found if we keep a disc in, it is soo much quieter. We bought the 3yr. hassle free, extended warranty from Target for $29, I think you can purchase it for 90 days after purchase (may have to show a Target receipt, but it is a "generic: all electronics $200-$300", so maybe could purchase separately. We usually don't buy these extended warranties, but what a deal, glad we did! I didn't think we needed such a big screen for a small kitchen, but I love it. I like the dvd, the am/fm radio, great picture, etc. great features, very easy to install and use!

3.0 out of 5 stars good picture, bad volume, not much in/output, September 20, 2008

Using it in Class C RV. Mounted easily. Sound with TV is OK, but when using DVD the sound is so low it can't be used unless everyone is quiet and RV is plugged in to 'shore power'. Can't be using roof AC as the sound is too loud. The generator, which isn't terribly loud, is too loud to use the DVD player. And, no outputs for sound, headphones, coax... nothing, lest I'd add an external amp and speakers set up.

It would probably be fine in a kitchen full of hard surfaces to amplify the sound levels. This is a small, carpeted space, 4-5 feet away from it, it still doesn't cut it while driving, or on generator power, or with roof AC on as those sound levels overpower it.
Paid $300 in July 08.
