3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but could have been excellent!, November 16, 2005

This unit could have been a solid "winner" with a little bit more consideration to product detail. It functions very well but requires the user to adjust the picture on every start-up. Upon turning the unit off, contrast, brightness, tint, color return to factory set values that provide a "washed-out" display. Adjustment allows a broad range of control and a satisfying image can be obtained....BUT upon turning the unit off it resets to factory settings.
The unit does not come with a TV antenna. A trial with "rabbit-ears" was marginally successful.
Despite the solid stereo sound capability, there is no adjustment available for balance, bass or treble.
Overall, if you can live with the above shortcomings, the unit provides a reasonable, and economic multi-purpose TV\DVD\CD player.

...If I paid full-price, it would be three stars. I use this as a monitor, taking a composite signal from the cable box. The picture is good, but not great. Using a coaxial cable, the tuner does as good a job as any other TV I've used to decode a cable signal. There is a toggle so you can scale the picture from widescreen to fullscreen and back. The base also doubles as a wall-mount, with tilt, but not pan adjustments. Build quality is good; on par with mid-priced brands such as Magnavox. Thus far, the unit has performed nicely, but it would be better with s-video inputs and a stand that would allow for under-cabinet mounting. This is a perfect TV for a den, nightstand or RV/boat. It's even great for travel, because a car adapter is included. If you can get one on clearance for less than $125, go for it!

It is a nifty looking unit. But everytime you turn it on, it doesn't return to the TV or the station you were on. It goes back to DVD. So you have to press the TV/DVD button with the remote. Then I have to press the TV/CATV button six times to get to the SD setting where I have all the cable channels. This is quite annoying since it happens every time you set off the set, and since I use it primarily for TV and seldom for DVD, it's a ritual I have to go through each and every time. Most TV sets, small or large, stay on the previous setting when you turn it off.
The picture is so-so, the audio OK. But it is convenient and serves the purpose I bought it for -- to work next to the computer. My choice was to have the TV screen on the computer (it would have been cheaper and easier), but I have so many things working on various screens on the computer for my work, that there would have been little room for a picture as well. So this idea works OK.
