This is a great all around small tv for the price. My only complaint will not matter to most people, it is a cheap, small tv after all.

It has Front Mono A/V inputs only. If you want to hook up a VCR or DVD player to this, you're gonna have wires hanging out of the front of the tv, and you're only going to get the left channel of the soundtrack. E.G. If someone is speaking only through the right speaker in a movie, or there's an explosion on the right only, you're not gonna hear it. If you want both channels of your movie, you can buy a y-splitter/combiner at radio shack for about $5. Many VCRs & DVD players have the old style coax cable, so you can hook this up in the back of the tv to get both channels of sound, but the picture quality is not as good... this is a fair work around. If you don't have the coax on your VCR/DVD, then you'll have to deal with the "half" sound.

I don't think it makes much sense to put the inputs only on the front. Front inputs are generally for temporary comnnections- showing pics from a digital carmera, hooking up a handheld video game system, etc. Usually there's a rear input for more permanent connections like a VCR or DVD player.

If you are planning to set this TV on the kitchen counter or put it in the infants bedroom, this little TV is probably just what the doctor or-dered, but if you need a compact unit that will let you connect that left-over DVD/VCR recorder, WITHOUT having a set of ugly cables hanging off of
the front, I recommend that you look at something else. I most STRONGLY suggest that you read the reviews by "Pigumon" and "LotteryMan43". They,
collectively, have identified the negative characteristics that make this
TV a "less than desireable" value.

We bought this to replace the TV that our sons use to play video games and to watch. It's wonderful. It has a remote, so, they don't have to constantly get up and down to change channels. And, we happen to feel that it was well worth the money we paid. Come on, where else can you get a 13" color TV for $75.00?

I bought this TV because I needed one to play my video games on while on vacation, and it worked great. No problems at all. I gave it to my parents when I ended my visit home, and now they are using it all the time too.

Excellent for kitchen or guest room, good quality picture with remote control.

Not much else to say about it. It's easy to use, good for dorm rooms, since it's so small, and it functions as a TV should.

Recieved product not working. Tried many, many, times to obtain return authorization. When somebody finally answered I was hung up on. I will never purchase from this company again.

The televison is just the right size for our bedroom. The price was very reasonable. I have always had very good quality with Sylvania TV's

deleverd as promised and i use it in our kitchen great size for kitchen thankyou
