3.0 out of 5 stars works best with CATV, January 27, 2006
By pneditor "bamboo rod maker" (Hermitage, TN United States) - See all my reviews
As a portable color TV this product would rate a 2. No battery power. Only AC/DC, including the auto adapter. It picks up 4 or 5 UHF channels but not any VHF in my large city, though with large amounts of static. On the auto adapter outside it picks up 2 channels in my city, so the built in antenna is a weakling. The AM-FM radio works well. Sound is adequate for my workshop. However, I'll give it a three because as a stationary TV in my workshop, hooked directly to cable tv, it picks up 20 something cable channels (out of at least 75), with a good picture. Oddly enough the digital tuner picks up at least 5 channels that are not available in my cable package on my other TVs, and the channels are established in a different order from the full cable package on the regular TVs! Go figure. This must be why the product is not advertised anywhere online as cable ready, though the user manual indicates that it is fully cable ready -- probably in China. So don't buy this as a portable TV; maybe for the kitchen or workshop.

1.0 out of 5 stars This was a mistake., June 11, 2006
This set lost color and picture quality over the few months that I owned it and then it just stopped working. I'm going to buy something else and so should you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive little TV for the kitchen..., April 29, 2006
By Diane "Diane" (California) - See all my reviews
When looking for a small color television for our kitchen, I realized that LCD-screen models were too expensive for my budget.

This Coby 5" color TV takes up very little room on the kitchen counter. It offers all of the functions that we were looking for, including radio. The picture quality is good. We have had no problems at all with it. We bought this TV to replace an old black & white 5-inch model that took up much more space.

Obviously, other products are available with more features, but we found this TV to be a very good value for the price that we paid. After all, it's not our main television, and this simple little TV does a nice job in the kitchen.

I would not buy this again. After four months, the TV became inoperable, and I could only receive radio. If you buy it, be sure to get any extended warranty the store may offer.
