Add a little entertainment to your exercise with the Invu 15-inch LCD TV/DVD player combo unit. Designed specifically for use with treadmills, elliptical trainers, and stationary bikes, the TV is mounted on an adjustable stand that positions directly in front of your exercise equipment. As a result, you don't need to look all the way across the room to catch a glimpse of the score, nor drag your treadmill in front of the TV. Even better, the addition of the Invu TV can make your workout more enjoyable. Tests show that watching television makes users more likely to exercise more frequently, and for longer periods. Plus, the TV is no slouch resolution-wise, with an impressive 1,024 x 768 display resolution and support for any antenna, cable, or satellite hookup (up to 1080i).

The DVD player, meanwhile, is built into the LCD head and operates with a side loading function. Compatible media formats include DVD, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, CD, CD-R/RW, CD+R/RW, and JPEG. Other features include a remote control, an electronic program guide, V-Chip parental control, a headphone jack for private listening, and adjustable heights from 64 inches up to 78 inches.

This review is from: Invu 15-Inch LCD TV with Built-In DVD Player and Stand (Sports)

I purchased this tv and stand to place it in front of my treadmill, as the family room tv is much too far away to enjoy. I never hooked this up to use as anything other than a dvd player, so it's not like it's worn out from some type of overload. I found that I was wasting my Netflix membership by not making time to watch the movies I was renting, and this was a perfect solution for me. Put on a good movie, start walking, get lost in the movie and the next thing you know, an hour has passed and you don't even notice! So I was getting a good walk by using this, but then, about 8 months after buying, the dvd screen started to 'melt' when I put a movie in. Then it just started freezing and staying frozen. The company that makes this lcd tv used to be named Vuze, and my tv has that name imprinted on it instead of InVu. Based on the problem with this LCD tv in such a short period of time, I can see why they changed their name. I went online to their website: [...], and they give you a prompt to email customer service to ask for a repair. I did that....TWICE, with no response. Then I called, TWICE, with the first person telling me that I should email again and the second person telling me that they would ask whomever was handling the repair tickets to look mine up and contact me, but they never did. I wasn't lucky enough to get this like the other buyer as an inexpensive 'throw in' to another product. This tv cost me close to $400 and I can't get any customer service or response. I HAVE NEVER PURCHASED ANYTHING THIS EXPENSIVE THAT BROKE THIS QUICKLY AND THAT HAD NON-EXISTENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! I will appeal to Amazon to see if they can help me, but watch out....this lcd tv is HORRIBLE and customer service is worse. FOLLOWUP: Contacted Amazon and they sent me a replacement tv, this one imprinted with InVu. I am grateful to Amazon, the only downside is I have to return the previous tv, and the configuration of the tv and the stand are so different from the original one that I can't use this packaging. But I do appreciate Amazon's great customer service!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Vuze Valuable, February 2, 2009

This review is from: Invu 15-Inch LCD TV with Built-In DVD Player and Stand (Sports)

We wanted a tv perched high enough up to use in front of our tredmill at home and searched all over for something that would fit. By chance, I clicked on Amazon, found VUZE and took a chance on it. Really worth even more than it cost; was easy to set up, we use it regularly and the flat screen allows it to be placed very close to the front of the tredmill without distortion in viewing. Sound is good too, and, since we have it hooked up to our cable tv service, it is able to span the whole complex of stations we can normally receive on all the sets at home. A good investment!

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent lcd tv and stand for $100, April 12, 2009

This review is from: Invu 15-Inch LCD TV with Built-In DVD Player and Stand (Sports)

I got this tv for $100 when I ordered my Sole E55 elliptical recently in Apr09. I think Sole had some partnership going with Vuze. At first they said they would sell the tv to me for $200 with free shipping as a special since I was purchasing an elliptical from them. I said, "no thanks", then the price came down to $100 with free shipping. I couldn't resist so just bought it. Overall the TV is of decent quality. It picked up all my digitial channels (via Comcast cable), so it definitely has QAM tuner. The image quality is actually very nice. I haven't tried out the dvd player yet, but it definitely has one integrated. The only drawback to this tv is that it is not widescreen. You can watch programming in widescreen ratio, but the screen will have the black bars above and below. I especially like the powder coated metal stand the tv mounts to. It is very sturdy and great for the workout room. I think for the price that I paid, it is a bargain, but I couldn't justify paying more than $200 for this.
