5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect bedroom TV, September 29, 2001

By A Customer

I love the design, it's not just a square box, but ease of using sleep timer was clincher. Push of one button forwards it in 15 minute increments. I was wide awake by the time I programed my prior set's timer, an RCA.

The wake up timer is also easy to set. It does require a few steps though to initialy program but from then on it's one button too. You can wake to TV or 3 different alarms(rooster, xylophone or harp). It does not have a radio though as one reviewer states.

The nightlight is terrific, the two feet and clock have a cool neon glow. It too is set with push of one button. If you have it on, it will turn off automaticaly when you turn TV on.

The picture quality is fine, as it is for most TV's, and stereo sound is bonus for set this size. There are lot's of features to customize viewing.

Overall this is great small TV with some unique features and design and is worth the somewhat premium price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute Television!, May 30, 2001

By A Customer

I saw the commercial for this television on TV and fell in love with it! Once I received the television from Amazon I loved it even more. The lighted feet are a great night light feature and I also like the little clock on the front. They should make this TV in larger sizes, I would buy one for my family room!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little TV., July 4, 2002

By	"inasense" (United States) - See all my reviews

Attractive and classy television with a clear picture and easy operation. The lighted feet and clock face are a nice touch. Has the neat feature of allowing you to set the alarm to wake up to any tv channel you set or to three different programmed sounds. Good sound quality with the speakers located on the front sides of the TV, it projects the sound around the room and towards the viewers unlike tvs that have the poorly designed speakers just on the sides. If looks matter to you buy this tv -it looks great. Not compromising performance for them here. Great for bedrooms.
