Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Niko OTP-2613W 26-inch LCD TV stands ready to deliver intense, high-contrast images for movies, video games, traditional TV, and everything in between. The TV--which sports a maximum 1,280 x 768 resolution--is HD-ready, meaning all you need is an HD tuner to join the high-def revolution. Even without the tuner, however, the TV is still a video wonder, with such features as picture-in-picture (PIP), a 600:1 high-contrast ratio, extra-wide 170-degree viewing angles, and a speedy 16-millisecond response time that ensures smooth transitions and spectacular real-time graphics.

As with most top-of-the-line TVs, the OTP-2613W employs a motion-adaptive 3D comb filter to separate brightness and color signals, thus eliminating cross-color, cross-luminance, and dot-crawl distortion. It also performs field-by-field comparisons of the TV image to accurately separate the color from the black-and-white information and remove both horizontally and vertically hanging dots--as well as dot crawl--resulting in the best possible picture.

The TV's progressive scanning function, meanwhile, helps deliver the full potential of all your video sources. Progressive scanning creates a picture using twice the scan lines of conventional pictures, giving you higher resolution and sharper images. It's a must when viewing DVDs, watching HDTV, or connecting to a computer. Overall, the TV supports 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i resolutions.

Audio-wise, the TV features a pair of 5-watt stereo speakers with virtual surround sound capability. The function emulates a 5.1-channel sound field from just two speakers, immersing you in the middle of the action.

Finally, the TV offers both a DVI input and a 15-pin PC input, along with more standard component, S-video, and composite video inputs. The OTP-2613W measures 32.6 by 19.7 by 8.5 inches (W x H x D) on its stand and carries a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't beat this Deal!!!, April 13, 2006

This review is from: Niko OTP-2613W 26-Inch HD-Ready LCD TV with DVI Input (Electronics)

There is no LCD TV you will find at a lower price. I did many, many searches. It's more than a couple hundred dollars below anything you find in the retail stores or the internet and that is even without the $[...] rebate I received. I wasn't sure at first about buying the product because it was so cheap and was a brand I wasn't familiar with. After a lot of research, I found some other customer reviews and they were all good also. So, I went ahead and made the purchase. I have had the TV for about a month or more now and it's still working great!. It has a great picture for movies. I use it mostly for playing XBox. I have also connected it to my computer with the DVI connector but a standard VGA will work too. It displays at 1280x768 for my computer. This was the only TV i found at 26" that could do that and not even my 55" wide-screen TV I have at home can do that. All others just display at 640x480 and who wants that... I even connected my cable TV to it, so it would work great also as a regular TV. Then I also connected both the cable tv and computer and had both my computer and cable TV up at the same time. Either just full screen, split screen or PIP. It works awesome! Well I have already recommended this TV to my friends and a couple of them are in the process of purchasing the TV. So, I would have to say I am very, very satisified with this product.

This review is from: Niko OTP-2613W 26-Inch HD-Ready LCD TV with DVI Input (Electronics)

My first concern was hearing many owners complained of DEAD PIXELS. I searched and found NIKO's website (nikotronics.com) and learned that they have been in the LDC panel business for 17 years. (They must have supplied panels to big name brands before started selling their own in 2005). But the fact that they are headquartered in California and provide customer service 24/7 was the deciding factor.

Originally thought about buying a Tatung or Ilo from Walmart but read many reports of their lack of customer support in the US.

I ordered it, got it very fast. And NO DEAD PIXELS!!!! Picture quality is great, especially from a progressive scan DVD signal source. (Cable picture quality was a little noisy). But, at this price I may get another one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Value!, September 18, 2006

This review is from: Niko OTP-2613W 26-Inch HD-Ready LCD TV with DVI Input (Electronics)

I bought this TV because of how inexpensive it is relative to other LCD TVs its size, and am amazed at how nice it is considering that I had not heard of Niko until I went TV shopping recently. First off, this TV can be used as a computer monitor (I hook it up to my powerbook g4 at a resolution of (1024 x ???) and can see text quite clearly. There are TWO component video inputs, in addition to TWO S-Video inputs. One way to judge the quality of LCD screens is by how red the reds are (low quality screens show reds as a little orange), and this screen is just beautiful.

The internal speakers are very nice, especially considering their size -- certanly sufficient for non-digital TV.

This would be an excellent TV for low-tech shoppers -- there aren't a billion features to have to learn -- you can basically turn it on and off, and press "input" on the remote to cycle through Cable/DvD/VCR/Computer/etc... Many of the TVs competing with this product are a bit overwhelming for the layman.

One downside to this television is that I can't seem to find a universal remote that can be configured for Niko televisions. I expect that this problem will be solved quickly if this company continues to produce quality products such as this one.
