3.0 out of 5 stars nice TV - a bit too big and it does not have a headphone jack, July 28, 2008

This review is from: Coby TFTV1022 10.2-Inch Widescreen TFT LCD Digital TV/Monitor (Black) (Electronics)

This product works well as a TV. The on screen menus for the digital tuner and other options are very well designed. I have it set up with an analog cable connection so I have not tested with a real HD signal.

I spent a lot of time shopping for a small TV with a sleep timer and this is where I landed. It would look a lot better if they didn't have such a large black bezel around the screen. Also, Amazon has this unit listed as having a headphone jack. It actually has an audio out jack. If you want to use it with a headphone or a pillow speaker you will need an external amplifier and the output volume can not be adjusted through the TV's volume control.

Overall, this unit works well as a TV. It appears to be physically much bigger than it needs to be for the small screen size and the so-called headphone jack really is not for headphones at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value - perfect office/bedroom/kitchen telly, July 19, 2008

By 

Terry Doolittle "Germannick" (Tallahassee, Fla., USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Coby TFTV1022 10.2-Inch Widescreen TFT LCD Digital TV/Monitor (Black) (Electronics)

Pros:
- Great connectivity: coax, RCA composite, headphone jack, VGA
- Very useful remote
- Option to switch aspect ratios (4:3 like a traditional TV, 16:9 for widescreen)
- Price
- Huge space saving over a tube TV of comparable size - great for kitchen, office or bedroom

Cons:
- Fiddly to adjust the picture initially, but fine once you have
- Not HDTV or plasma (erm.... but not meant to be)

I use this TV on my desk in my home office, and it is perfect for my needs. It is hooked up to a satellite box via the coax connector and is fully functional. It also works just fine with a DVD via the RCA composite connectors. I have not tried the VGA connector with a PC, so I cannot comment on that.
As the other reviewers mentioned, the picture takes a bit of adjusting to get brightness, contrast, etc. to where you want them, but once you have it, the colors are fairly vivid and the picture quality is the equivalent of a portable tube TV, which is plenty good enough for me!
The speakers are not bad (similar to the speakers on a flat panel computer monitor - not much bass, but not 1970s-radio-tinny). If I am watching a movie, I plug my PC speakers (which have a woofer) into the headphone jack and Bob's your uncle, genuine mini home theater! Even my wife (a self-avowed audio snob) was impressed.

A little gem, IMHO.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK for the price, June 29, 2008

This review is from: Coby TFTV1022 10.2-Inch Widescreen TFT LCD Digital TV/Monitor (Black) (Electronics)

This cheap little digital TV is lightweight and convenient, but as might be expected for the price there are no bells and whistles. It's digital but not HD. It offers two viewing resolutions (16:9 and 4:3), but because it's not HD, 4:3 generally looks better (though considerably smaller than 16:9, of course). Closed captioning is miniscule. Audio is loud enough, but a bit tinny.
