Size Name:40-Inch
I bought this TV at Sears a few months ago for my bedroom, when they had it on sale for about 500 dollars. I thought at the time that 500 bucks (+tax) was a good deal on the relatively new LED technology, and the guy who worked there sold me on the fact that it takes about 1/4 the amount of electricity that my Vizio plasma uses. However, I later found that for a bit more, I can get quality name brands online, like the Panasonic that I recently bought and reviewed on Amazon.
I saw this on gold box today, and I thought I would let people know what they are getting, so here it is- first, you are getting a bare bones TV that is okay to watch on. The picture is actually pretty nice, when compared to older LCDs, and almost comparable to my favorite screen, the plasma. The picture is not as rich as plasma, but definitely more natural looking than the older 60hz lcds.
Anyway, here's the skinny:It has 3 HDMI inputs, which is nice, even for a living room set, and more than enough for use as a bedroom TV. There is also a PC connection so you can use it as a computer monitor, but I have yet to try that. It is VERY lightweight, compared to my 42 inch plasma, and most people will be able to mount it on their walls without the help of a second person. The picture, as I have said is very nice, when compared to other TV's in this price range, but it is a bit on the dim side. When setting the brightness higher, you will notice some "flashlight effect," if you're really paying attention, but most people looking at a cheap TV probably won't even notice, or mind too much. There aren't all the cool "new for 2011" features that most TV's have these days, like internet and Netflix, but if you connect your XBox or PS3 to the set, or a internet capable Bluray, it won't really matter. I wouldn't really consider this a good buy, only because the name brand is generic and you never know what kind of service and reliability you'll get from a company that sells discount (read:cheap) electronics, and if you just spent a hundred dollars or so more, you can get something that may last you quite a while. But, if you don't have the bread to spend, you want to get a TV with great picture and don't mind not having all the bells and whistles, I'll guess you'll be okay with this one. Just don't forget to find a cheap warranty, maybe at Costco or something.

I uploaded some pictures to demonstrate the flashlight effect that I mentioned in my review, and to give some alternate views of this set, because there aren't any other pics of this TV anywhere on the web. I don't understand why people think that what I've written is unhelpful, but I've tried to be thorough and objective in writing about a TV that I think is a good value, but could be improved. If you ask me a question, I'd be happy to help you make a decision.

Size Name:40-Inch|Amazon Verified Purchase
I got this TV on sale via Amazon Lightning Deals. It is definitely worth a 400 price tag. The speakers can be loud, but obviously with this thin TV, don't expect any bass. The picture looks great on this LED, and I personally didn't notice any edge bleeding while watching X-men Origin in blu-ray. If you see this item go on sale, snatch it up! However, I'd have to say it's only mediocre at its normal price. Not bad, but for a few more $$$, you could get a name brand. All in all though, I'm happy with this TV.
Unfortunately, this TV does not has any analog sound output. Only digital coax and TOSLINK. So if you want to hook up speakers without a receiver, you'll need a digital converter. However, if you have a receiver with coax/TOSLINK, the coax or TOSLINK output on the TV will work just fine. Not worth deducting a star on, since this seems to be the way all TV's are headed(digital). Just a heads up, as I was disappointed when I saw no headphone jack or RCA outputs.

Size Name:23-Inch
I bought the Coby LEDTV2326 after researching affordable tvs to replace a failing Audiovox LCD TV/DVD combo I've had in my kitchen for six years. It gets a lot of use, as the kitchen is the hub of our house. I decided to forego the built-in DVD player, as convenient as it has been, because I wanted to keep the price down, and I have two extra DVD players just collecting dust in the basement. One sits atop the fridge now.
Upon unboxing, I was impressed with the thin, sleek build of the Coby. Five minutes later it was hooked up and searching for channels...it's that easy. I have it connected to standard cable, so it found the expected 58 or so SD channels. I was surprised to see that it also found 45 HD channels...I expected some, thanks to its QAM tuner, but not nearly that many. Bonus.
HD picture quality is beautiful. I can't say anything more.
SD picture quality is sub-par when compared to other HDTVs I own, and others I've seen. It's not great...but its watchable.
DVD quality (480p) is quite good. Not HD, but very crisp. Blows SD cable away.
One more thing to note about the picture - I can definitely see bright spotting around the perimeter when the screen is totally black...this indicates poor back (edge) lighting. Were it my main tv, it would go back for this. It's a kitchen tv. No big deal.
Now for the sound...I've never heard worse sound quality from any tv in my life...and I'm a videophile, so I've experienced a lot of tvs. It sounds like you're trying to listen via a pair of crappy headphones sitting on the table in front of you. It's literally unbearable. Thank God they included a headphone jack. I bought a $25 pair of decent computer speakers to solve the problem. It sounds great now.
Overall, if you're looking for a good display for mainly HD or DVD duty, and you're willing to augment (replace) the included sound with a cheap pair of computer speakers, buy this tv. It's definitely worth two bills. If, however, you don't like the idea of separate speakers and just want a plug-and-play tv, buy something else...one with forward-facing speakers (hard to find, but obvious due to the perforated grilles you'll see under the screen). Any display this size with down-facing speakers (the majority) is going to sound like crap.
11/14/11 UPDATE - after five short months of use, the LED edgelight is failing. It will start to flicker, then go completely black. If you look closely, you can see that the LCD screen is still producing an image, but there is no backlight. With the piddly 90 day warranty, I'm out $200. Stick to the major brands. Don't buy this.

Both pay both you have. It's a cheap option and not too bad. Acceptable volume according with the size. Problems with the image depending on the angle of vision.

I should't have expected as much for the price. Coby seems to use typical cheap Chinese "old generation" technology as a rule (have purchased other stuff from them). Read more
