poor sound quality November 6, 2008 C. Gray (Maine) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
We just bought this tv. after reading the 2 previous reviews that pointed out the poor sound quality. br /I guess we assumed the reviewers were exaggerating the problem. We own a 13" tv/ vcr that we had been using br /and we figured that although the reviews for this tv warned us of tinny audio issues it couldn't be worse than our 15 year old ,13" tv. we were wrong. It's unbearable! Perhaps it has a lot to do with the size and shape of our room, In any event we now need to invest in 50$-100$ worth of surround sound. or send the tv back. br / br / the picture could be ok, I dont know? I cant endure having the thing on long enough to tell. For the time being im going back to my 13"tv/vcr.
Good value, great picture September 15, 2008 Maggie B (Raleigh, NC) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this product last week. I wanted a name brand, and this was the best deal. Some sets this size and price don't have HDMI, or have only one input. The picture is fine I don't have a problem with the sound- it's what you expect from small speakers. br / br /I got this to replace a small CRT. There are 2 HDMI inputs, plus the 5 wire color-coded input from a cable box, which is what I'm using. Add to that analog PC input, S-video, RCA and audio input from a PC. If you want to use this as a computer monitor, be aware the screen does not tilt. br / br /This would be a good TV for a dorm room, which is where it may end up if my daughter gets her hands on it!
Audio could use some work June 9, 2008 Jenn (Massachusetts) 19 out of 19 found this review helpful
The picture quality is pretty good but the audio is lacking. The sound is quite tinny and seems to echo if you have to turn the volume up to any point above 1/3 the maximum volume. There is also a several second delay when you turn the unit on before a picture appears. We were never able to find a remote code that works with tivo so we constantly have to have two remotes in hand. br / br /Edited to add: The audio is so annoying that we are returning the tv. It's just too difficult to listen to it. I wish I could lower my star rating.
