Love the TV
| The TV is great, I gave it to my mother for her birthday and we were both happy to see the TV works great, and it receives all the channels available. Get it, you'll be happy. |

Fun little spare TV
I live in the Washington, DC area. Reception is hit or miss with this TV. The TV picked up most of the local stations using the auto channel search feature to program the channels. However, many of the stations came in a bit grainy and my local FOX station barely came in at all. When I manually tuned to the FOX channel, the reception was poor and the audio repeatedly clicked on and off. It seems that if the TV has a hard time picking up a channel, the audio will fade in and out. Surprisingly, the lower channels 2-9, which are for me: NBC, FOX, CBS, and ABC come in the worst. The higher channels, 20 and above, which are: UPN, PBS, CW, and Univsion come in pretty clear. Living in the DC area about 15 minutes from the White House, I am sure my television signals are as strong as they are going to get anywhere in the country so I am a tad bit shocked that my reception isn't better. The attached antenna must be pretty weak. You definitely have to have the antenna fully extended to get reception--no cheating thinking you can get away with it halfway up. Perhaps I'll look into getting an external antenna for better reception.

great little tv for the money
| When I ordered this tv, I ordered it based on other's positive reviews. I needed a replacement tv for the 18 year old 5.5" screen I had in my kitchen and the price was right for my needs at this time. I would caution others about the viewing angle as this type of screen does not have a wide viewing angle. Since I wanted to place the tv on top of my refridgerator, I had to play around with the placement angle of the tv to be able to enjoy the picture; but once I got it right, it works beautifully. Otherwise, set up was very simple, although I hadn't figured on having the audio/visual connections visible as they come out from the sides of the tv. My biggest complaint, which I was warned about in other reviews, is the "tinny" sound quality. However, for the price, it meets my needs and other expectations. |
