4.0 out of 5 stars Feature Packed, February 21, 2009

By	rezzy (USA) - See all my reviews

This set is a bit small, but man, is it a looker. It features a built-in HD tuner for digital OTA reception, HDMI & Component connectors for hi-def media players, as well as an SVGA hookup to perform as a computer monitor. The speakers sound a bit "tinny" as could be expected, but the volume can get up fairly loud.

And hard to tell from the pics here, but its cabinet and screen have a nice looking glossy finish. The only downside is that is does have a somewhat narrow viewing range (though it has a tilting base). Otherwise, a great little unit with an excellent price tag.

1.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for --- buyer beware!, May 7, 2009

By	jazmaan (Santa Monica, CA United States) - See all my reviews

The screen on this "TV" is highly prone to glare and ambient light reflections. Worse than that, the viewing angle is so limited that moving your eyes off axis just a foot or two (whether up or down or side to side) will cause the picture to go negative like it was shot in infrared. To add insult to injury, the included stand is not capable of tilting to a downward angle, so you can't place the TV higher than your eye level without getting the "negative" effect.

But the real insult is that the TV will NOT respond to any other manufacturer's remote control. If you've got a Verizon Set Top Box, there is no way to control the Coby with your Verizon remote. None of the remote codes work. Do a Google search on "Coby TV" and "Remote Code" and you'll learn what I wish I'd known before I bought this cheap piece of junk. You're stuck with using the ugly little grey remote that came with the Coby and if you lose that then you're screwed. If you have a STB, that means it takes two different remotes to turn your TV on and off and control its volume, while your STB remote changes channels. How retro is that?

So don't be penny foolish. Cough up the extra dough and buy a better TV than this COBY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Versatility for a great price., April 2, 2009

By	J. Schneider (Mansfield, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In searching for a unit that worked as both a computer monitor and TV, this came up. After reading all of the Amazon reviews, C. Hobb's review was the clincher. I received my Coby HDTV yesterday and it's everything the positive reviews said it was. It works great as a TV and computer monitor. Hook up was a breeze. It's exactly what I was looking for at a great price.
