Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Products don't get much more convergent than this. In one tidy package, IX's PACIUP4240 central interface unit (CIU) gives you a state-of-the-art Windows XP-based personal computer, a fully functional 15-inch flat-panel LCD television, a DVD player, a 48x recordable CD drive, an FM radio, and stereo speakers powered by 3 watts per channel. Want to use your own sound system? No problem--the PACIUP4240 offers a handy stereo output for hooking up external equipment. You even get a thin, wireless remote control to simplify operation.

Taking full advantage of the thinness of LCD screens, the 1,028 x 768-resolution CIU offers a whole PC-based entertainment system in the space of an equivalent-sized CRT monitor. The PACIUP4240 operates as a TV right out of the box. With an antenna or cable hookup, you'll be all set to catch the sports or weather while you're waiting for your computer to boot up. The set houses a 181-channel cable/broadcast TV tuner, and its picture-in-picture (PIP) feature lets you watch TV while using the computer.

You can hook up peripheral audio/video equipment as you would with a television, with a choice of composite- or S-video inputs and one set of stereo (left/right) analog RCA audio inputs. The LCD's antiscratch/antiglare glass allows for easy cleaning and added display protection.

As a PC, you're looking at a Windows XP Home operating system using a 2.4 GHz Pentium processor with 256 MB RAM and a comfy 40 GB hard drive, along with a wireless keyboard and mouse to reduce clutter and confusion while preserving the unit's stylish, high-tech look. Video graphics are 32 MB VGA shared, with a memory controller using AGPX4.

Computer connections include a VGA input, a 56 Kbps modem, four USB terminals, a video output (VGA, SVGA, or XGA), a parallel port, a microphone line input, a line out for external speakers, a 10/100 base T100 network connection, and a PS2 connector. It has one additional available memory slot (I DIMM 184-pin, DDR) and four total expansion slots (three PCI Slots, one AGP Slot, and one CNR slot). You also get a 3.5-inch (1.44 MB) floppy drive.

You can connect various multimedia devices--digital cameras, PDAs, printers, etc.--through any of four USB 2.0 ports, which pass data at 480 Mbps, faster than a FireWire connection. The LAN 10/100 connection lets you set up a high-speed Internet connection, or you can easily use the 56 Kbps modem for a dial-up account.

Supplied software consists of MS Works, IX Antivirus by Panda (30 day trial), and Nero CD Maker.

What's in the Box
CIU (central unit), a wireless scroll mouse, a wireless keyboard, IR receivers for mouse and keyboard, a mouse pad, a remote control, two AAA batteries for the mouse, two AA batteries for the keyboard, two AAA batteries for the remote, an FM antenna, an L-shaped coaxial adapter, an AC power cable, a manual for the CIU, a manual for the keyboard, Windows XP Home Edition (full version with disc and literature), Nero Express CD, Cyberlink Power DVD CD, and an IX Pacco product/driver disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great All in One Item, November 13, 2003

Dan (Covina, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: IX PACIUP4240 15-Inch LCD TV / DVD / PC CIU Combo (2.4 GHz and 256MB RAM ) (Electronics)

I needed a small computer, and i used to envy all those MAC users, but finally someone came out with a all in one PC Version. This thing came with everything I needed like CD burner, Wireless Mouse and keyboard. Also the LCD screen was sharp and clear, one of the better LCD in the market. But I was amazed to find out that it came with a TV built in. The best part was that the TV did not use any computer resources that meant that i can play PC Games with the TV ON. ANother great feature is that fact that you can turn the TV into a PIP window and set it in a corner of you desktop.
I have played some of the major game titles out there and they work great on the unit.
Love the space saving and functionality of the Computer.

5.0 out of 5 stars College Student Loves It, August 20, 2004

This review is from: IX PACIUP4240 15-Inch LCD TV / DVD / PC CIU Combo (2.4 GHz and 256MB RAM ) (Electronics)

I am a college student, so first of all, saving space by having the TV in my computer is a beautiful thing. Some people wrote it is slow and a peice of crap, and at first I agreed. For the first few days I was using AOL Dial Up service, and when I also used Windows Media Player and AIM with it - only 3 programs - I wanted to throw it all out the window. Once I moved into my dorm, though, and hooked it up through the ethernet connection, it was a work of art. It runs faster than I could ever ask for, even the programs to programs, not just the internet. Being able to message with friends and email family while having my TV on PIP so I can watch shows is awesome, and the fact that it is all wireless and the computer itself only has one plug in besides the additional ethernet and cable cord, it is just awesome. No messy cords, no additional television in my room. If you have dial up, I would not recommend this. If you have a broadband or other similar connection, however, this is heaven sent!

I have truely enjoyed this product from the time I removed it from the box. It was so simple to setup and use. I used it for about nine months as a primary TV, DVD player, Radio, and Computer. I have had no problems and can't believe how crystal clear the screen is. It is an investment I am not sorry I made. I use it still as a secondary TV in my bedroom, as well as a primary computer. It never ceases to amaze me.
