I bought this TV and had it over 3 months and it's one of the best investments I have made on CE products. First, it saved me so much money campared to many other more expensive LCD TVs. I also checked out several other products similarly priced but did not like the design or the picture quality from the obviously less than superior LCD panels. KREISEN makes full line up of LCD TV line from 17" wide up to 32". I have done my research and only s few branded products are selling 32" LCD TVs and at much higher price too. KREISEN only sells LCD TV, which makes them more focused rather than companies who brand LCD TV, Plasma, LCOS, etc without having expertise in one flat panel category. They have good tech support and the guy told me all of the LCD TVs from KREISEN is made in Korea, which gives me some more assurance of the quality of the product as well. I highly recommend KREISEN. In fact, with the money I saved on LCD TV, I purchased KREISEN DVD Recorder which is also another great value.

I was happy when I found the Kreisen KR-270T LCD-TV at a price below US$1k. It was my promise to myself that I would get a flat panel TV set when they reached this price point. In fact, I was at the point when I would have bought a more expensive model and was shopping for these TVs when I found the Kreisen. I live in the city in a small house and this size meets my needs perfectly (I have a 37 inch space in which to place this). The quality is fantastic and I use a Momitsu DVD-880 upconverting region free DVD player with this. I am very pleased with the quality. Don't take my word for it, go to a Microcentre store and see the Kreisen line "in person". You'll find that they are indeed a super value for the money. While the tuner section is useless in Centre City Philadelphia (need cable or satellite), the Kreisen's tuners work well outside of the city. Also, you may see that I upgraded to a 32" Kreisen, this TV gives very satisfactory performance in small spaces and satisfactory performance in larger spaces.

Kriesen is a real sleeper. As good as it gets, yet an outstanding bargain compared to the big boys. The picture is outstanding in HD mode!! Very bright and detailed. Unit is attractive and remote easy once you get the hang of it. Highly recommend it. I had the pleasure of talking to customer support and they are, without doubt, the nicest and most helpful electronics company I have dealt with in years!

I got it about 5 weeks ago and yesterday it died for good. I called support and they were laughing at me, they hang up the phone 3 times on me and they don't want to offer the on site repair it's in the warranty contract.

I don't recommend to buy this product considering the warranty isn't respected by the manufacturer.

I bought this as a 2nd gaming monitor for the PC (my first was the Kreissen 30" version) and was sorely disappointed.

Although the screen has a native resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels it does not appear that the internal circuitry supports it. In fact the manual actually tells you to set your PC settings at 1024 x768. This was confirmed when no matter what I tried, I could not get it to display either through the DVI or VGA connector at 1280 x768.

In contrast the 30" version of the Kreisen which I also have worked flawlessly at this resolution.

I ended up returning it and exchanging it for the 30" Kresisen which is a really good value.

If you are buying this for use as a TV only this review may not apply, but if you are planning on using it with a PC pass on this one.

I bought this TV based on the great reviews it received. Well, here is how great it is. I took the TV out of the huge box it arrived in and set it on the stand. I walked over to my bed to get the cables for it. I looked over at the TV and my wacky Orange tabby cat was sitting in front of it in the jumping position. I began walking over toward him as he leaped forward to try to jump on it. He grabbed the top of it with his paws wrapped over the top. When he grabbed it, the whole thing fell forward and it hit hardwood floor and bounced. I thought, "Oh crap, my new TV is broken." I hooked it up to check it and BAM - it worked like a charm. That was a week or so ago and it is still going strong. Great sound, great picture - high quality. Execellent. Thanks Kreisen.
