The picture quality is great on HD, but the sound is only fair. The audio comes out of small speakers pointed down out the bottom. The result is a "tin" sound. The volume has to be turned up fairly loud to hear it. The only audio out is via optical cable, so to hook it up to an external speaker would require an AV receiver. I don't want to do this since I bought the TV for the kitchen and I want to minimize the space. So everything is a tradeoff. I got a reasonbly decent picture and compromised on sound and got an HDTV that doesn't take much space at all.

The small kitchen remote is neat the way it fits in the small indentation of the base. Its very convenient for turning it on and off and volume controls. You can also channel up and down, but that is a tedious way to find your channel. For that they have the regular remote which we leave on the table. Two remotes is nice. The full size remote allows you to program up to four favorite channels--also a nice feature.

One last feature on the picture. The full size remote allows you to cycle through 4 preset AV modes such as movie, game, user defined, and dynamic. While this is nice, I haven't found one setting that seems to be best for all my viewing. Some shows are too dark on one setting, so I have to change it to another, then change it back for another show.

I wanted a 19" HDTV capable of receiving up to 1080i. This will compress the signal to 760, but at least it can handle it. This and a Toshiba model were the only ones I found that I thought could do it.

Setup was fairly easy. We use it in the kitchen. You must rotate the stand to rotate the TV ... a slight disadvantage in this environment. The picture is fine, but the sound is strangely inadequate. We have to keep it a the max setting all the time.

This TV is the perfect size for our kitchen. We love the clear, bright HD picure. It's great for watching basketball while we fix dinner.
