CONS
- Awful speakers (everything sounds tiny)

Great TV that I bought as a gift. Everything about it is perfect for a kitchen TV, with the exception of the awful sound the thing puts out. Luckily it has an audio-out jack, but frankly I shouldn't have to come up with workarounds for a TV at this price range.

I got this tv to replace an aging 5 inch B&W SD TV in our bathroom. We use this TV for watching traffic and weather as we're getting ready for work. Beyond that, I wouldn't recommend this TV. This unit does have a good tuner, nice remote, and the ability to position the screen is great. The downsides include are a poor picture (bright enough, but a lot of pixelation of colors) and abysmal sound (the sound is tinny/harsh and has a constant hum in the background)

I'm going to be sending this TV back after trying it mounted under a cabinet. The viewing angle is great when it is upright, but upside down the viewing angle is horrible. You have to be positioned directly on center with the TV to see it if you are more than a few inches above the screen. The sound is also poor.

Pro: Unique styling, good picture quality if you are directly in front and at the same height as the TV, great price, good reception.

Con: Really poor sound. Has external sound jack, but the sound volume is constant, even if you mute the TV sound, external sound is the same. Off axis picture quality deteriorates quickly as you move from dead center either up/down or left/right. Not reliable, after 45 days, the power button (only) stopped responding - remote works, but the on unit power button is broken.

On the whole, this unit is more trouble than it is worth. Called the [...] customer service number and they will send a refurbished unit if I don't mind waiting and wading through the process of verification and shipping. They will send a prepaid shipping label once they have acceptable proof of purchase, and are very courteous on the phone.

It is tough to buy a unit without first seeing and trying it - but then there is the reliability problem, wish me better luck next time.

It's a cheap product. While you will be impressed with the picture quality (sound is AWFUL), be warned that you will only enjoy it for a short time. Product reliability is well below average.

Do yourself a favor and invest in a little better quality now and save yourself the headache of replacing this unit after the 18 months it will last. Extended warranties/service plans DO NOT make owning this worth the hassle.

bought this unit for 99 bucks refurbished and for that price this is a homerun. For people looking for a monitor to take their ps3 or xbox 360 along the ride , just plug it into the hdmi and you get clear 1080i quality. Yes , the sound isnt great, but good enought , you can always add aditional speakers like the portable altec lansing 600 unit for example. like the USB input too!

I did not research this TV before purchasing it, if I had I would've found out it has very limited viewing except straight in and the sound is horrible very tinny.

After trying it for one day I packed it up and shipped it back.

The only good thing about this transaction is that Amazon has a great return policy. They furnished by way of my computer a return shipping label allowing me to put this TV back in the box and drop it off at the UPS store to be shipped back.
Thank you for that...

This TV is the worst TV I ever bought--it has the worst picture and sounds like a tin Can--after tryin every adjustment on it I went out and bought a new TV as this one is a waste of time and money---how they sold this as a HDMI on AMAZON is beyond me---Even the regular TV picture is gross--I have nothing good to say about this TV or AMAZON for selling it to me!!!! Buyer Beware!!!

Bought this unit last December and have used it since. No reliability issues so far. Mounted under cabinet, mine was missing the mounting template. Take care if downloading template from site as it may not print with correct dimensions. No customer support to speak of called numerous times and emailed w/o any replies.
PROS: Good picture quality, unit folds up under cabinet, wide screen format, can invert picture for different mounting positions.
CONS: Poor sound quality, esp. at higher volume, viewing angle critical under counter, does not swivel for better viewing. Poor customer service.

Overall happy with the TV, good reception, so so sound, but still a good value.
