Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Save space in your entertainment center with the vividly colorful 27-inch Akai LCT2701TD LCD TV with integrated side slot-loading DVD player. It's ready to display high-definition television programming (480p, 720p, and 1080i) with an optional HD receiver or via an HD-capable cable/satellite set-top box. It can also be used as a PC monitor with a VGA input. The DVD player is compatible with DVD movie and CD audio discs as well as music mixes burned to CD-R/RW discs.

It features a 1366 x 768-pixel native resolution, 550 cd/m2 high brightness rating for a brilliant picture in any environment, and 1000:1 contrast ratio for an incredible picture with deeper blacks and brighter whites. It's also easily viewable from all around the room with its 176-degree viewing angle. It offers component video input for HD viewing as well as composite A/V and S-Video inputs. It also has a digital coaxial audio output, enabling you to run sound through a surround sound home theater system.

The LCT2701TD performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, too--a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate picture. The 2D comb filter separates chrominance (color) from luminance (brightness) information in the video signal for independent processing to improve picture resolution and minimize distortion.

Tech Talk
Component Video Input: You'll get great picture reproduction from compatible DVD players or cable/satellite set-top boxes using the three-jack component video (Y/Pb/Pr) output, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections.

What's in the Box
LCD TV (with stand), remote control, power cord, printed operating instructions

Warranty

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Excellent, April 16, 2006

By	Joburti (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

I purchased an Akai 27in LCD flatscreen/DVD combo about a week ago and I have been astounded by how good it actually is. The screen clarity is what first caught my attention when I saw it at COSTCO-- yes it is hooked up for HDTV when it is on display and there are warning stickers placed on the shelves to let you know that a regular DVD will not be as good as HDTV. (This item was not available on Amazon at the time).

I purchased it for use as a computer monitor when I found that a 21 inch monitor I'd just bought really wasn't roomy enough for true side by side viewing of webpages.. I returned it and had to pay a 15% restocking fee but I'm sure glad I did and went straight over to purchase my Akai. I have been having a great time watching all my old DVD's because it brings them to life as if I am watching them for the first time.


One of the most amazing things about this monitor is just how stunning the brights and whites are-- especially when watching a live concert DVD with vivid colors, flashes, and spotlights.
The response rate is excellent and the blacks are very black.

The DVD player is as easy to operate as is possible and works flawlessly. As for durability I cannot say because I have only had it for a week, but while I was waiting in line to purchase it I had a few people brag about other Akai products they have and their excellence.

The speakers are very good but I would only give them 4 stars. I have never come across any flat panel that had truly excellent speakers but VERY GOOD is good enough when you weigh in the compact design and sleek styling.

I've been enjoying my new Akai so much I haven't even hooked it up to my computer yet. I think to myself... How can I get so excited over a little flat panel tv? I need to get out more.

There are so many hundreds of models of LCD flat panel tvs out there and many of them are downright horrible, with muddy screens and blured images. If you are in the market for a flat panel this size. Definently take a look at this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars ok tv but nothing special, May 20, 2006

By	R. Johnson "Software Architect" (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This tv is convenient because of the built in dvd player but it only has an ok picture. The black levels are poor and become washed out at times. I use it in my personal gym while doing cardio so it's ok for that purpose, but I wouldn't want it for my main tv. The picture just isn't good enough. I'd say the best thing about this tv is the price!

Also, I hear the slight buzz people mentioned but it doesn't bother me enough to warrant a return.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT-BEWARE!!, October 17, 2006

By	Adrian Elias "Heart Broken" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We received the Akai 27 inch LCD TV, refurbished and paid $679.00. It was delivered defective with a loud buzzing noise. The product is not refundable & there is no "LIVE" person to speak with from Amazon. We were informed that we had to go through Akai for repair. We have made dozens of phone calls-It has been three weeks and no one has come to repair the TV- Never buy a refurbished TV and never purchase an Akai product. They make promises,will not let us talk to a supervisor or corporate headquarters. Awful!!
