2.0 out of 5 stars
nice tv but...., June 30, 2008
This review is from: Emerson 20" Pure Flat Screen TV (Electronics)
dont break the remote. if you do you wont ever be able to use your dvd player or anything else with it. in order to watch dvd's or anything you have to get onto the video1 or video2 channel. you can only do this with the input button on the remote. ive bought multiple universal remotes and none of them worked. emerson has discontinued this model and they no longer stock this model's remote. they will send you to 1800-remotes. you will be quoted a price of about $35 plus tax and shipping. my price for TN came to roughly $42. so if you have kids that like to break remotes, a pet that chews on them, or youre prone to random fits of rage and like to take it out on your remotes then id suggest you steer clear of this tv.

Pass this one up, July 14, 2008
This review is from: Emerson 20" Pure Flat Screen TV (Electronics)
I will break this review up into 3 parts for ease:
1.) Regular TV viewing: Maybe the best aspect of the TV, colors all look decent for the most part, decent clarity as well...overall 3/5
2.) DVD's/movies: Same as television, I also noted somtimes that really deep reds and greens have a strange flicker and it makes the picture look unpleasant. 3/5
3.) Video games: Worst part of TV. These annoying black borders cut off significant parts of the image (health bar/points) and when displaying more of the vivrant colors they flicker. 1.5/5
I am a bit of a audio/visualphile so I may be a little harsh, but I am very dissapointed with this TV on the whole. OK for regular TV viewing, but if you are a bit of a "tech-dude/chick" steer clear of this machine.

great TV for the price!, September 6, 2010
This review is from: Emerson 20" Pure Flat Screen TV (Electronics)
I bought a few of these a few years ago when they were on sale at a local store and they are great in my experiences.
I don't know what the other reviewers are griping about because my friends use it all the time for gaming and never had a complaint about it... maybe you should check your video/screen ratio settings on your game system... it's not automatic.
also I lost my remote and all 3 of the universal remotes I've got in my home work fine with it. And I buy the cheap as dirt universal remotes since I only need basic functions: power, channels, volume, & input selections.
Sound is good but not perfect clearly, but no specific complaints.
