1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, January 1, 2011

This review is from: Coby TF-DVD1595 15-Inch 720p TV Combo (Electronics)

I bought the Coby 15" LCD HDTV/DVD player in October. I was thrilled with the price but nervous about the lack of stellar reviews. For the sake of context, I mounted mine on a wall in our breakfast nook so that I could watch TV while cooking in the kitchen.

Unfortunately, my instincts were correct. This TV is barely adequate. First, the remote is abysmal! I would love to talk to the person who designed it. Does it really save that much manufacturing money to make all of the 24, yes 24, control buttons the same size: small little dots, in columns, with 4pt font?? It takes me five minutes to find the play/pause button. And rewinding, forget it. Once you find it the rewind button, (which, incidentally is entitled "F.BWD"- really?) you're too far into the movie for it to be worth going back. RWD was too hard? Or the popular <<? Either would have been better than F. BWD.

Second, the sound quality is awful. The volume is fine when I can find the "mode" button to switch it to TV mode. However, when I watch a DVD I have to turn the volume to 100% in order to hear any dialogue. Oddly enough, previews before and some of the music tracks during films are at the correct volume. So if I leave the volume at 100%, I often find myself startled at super loud parts and then straining to hear the majority of the movie. Not fun when chopping onions with a sharp knife...

Finally, the picture quality: the resolution isn't that great to begin with- par to the price- but if the sunshine is near the window, or when it's dark in the room any slight movement to the right or left can destroy your view of the screen.

In sum, I'm very disappointed. If you're in the market for a small TV/DVD player combo- wait a year until better brands come down in price and go for a nicer one. This one is a waste of money.

I bought this TV for use in my RV. I chose it because I saw the same unit at Bed Bath and Beyond where several were used in the store to play promotional and advertising DVDS. All had great, bright, clear pictures. The one I received had an awful picture. The colors are dim and smeared. There is no adjustment which results in a bright picture. The picture is only viewable from directly in front of the screen. A few degrees above, below or to the left or right results in the picture disappearing. Don't buy this TV.

Didn't know much about this brand, and got mixed reviews, but I am so glad we purchased it. We bought the mounting kit with it for a total of about $189. My husband installed it under one of our cabinets in the kitchen and I absolutely love it!! I use it to play DVD's, Music CD's; hook up to our computer as second screen, and even plays my IPOD music with USB!! Was surprised about the last one!! Doesn't mention this in the manual but it does... The file structure is a bit messy to comprehend but it plays the songs. I am even having my husband hook it up to our Satellite for cable TV. (Gotta keep up with the news while drinking coffee!) Is a very good TV for our kitchen and couldn't pass up the price...Display is also clean and crisp. Of course you have light glares, which you would expect on any LCD screen.

Hope this helps others...
