I bought this Television because i wanted to be able to watch TV in the kitchen and on occasion have the ability to let the kids and their friends watch a DVD during meals. This is a perfect addition to the kitchen. It is pretty thin, (considering it has a built-in DVD player) and doesn’t stick out from the wall too far. It has an amazingly clear picture. The DVD feature works well and is easy to use. The remote is also really easy to use. The sound quality is adequate. I mean, who expects full surround sound in their kitchen? This is the perfect TV for watching the news while I eat breakfast. I am not going to invite the neighborhood over to watch the Super Bowl in my kitchen. If you are looking for a smaller LCD TV with DVD capability and a great picture, this is a solid choice.
I bought this to replace an older and smaller analog LCD TV in a workout room. I mounted it to a small Articulating wall mount for adjustable viewing throughout the room. The speakers are not as loud as normal units, but better than expected. The unit is very lightweight even with the built-in DVD. I love the fact that this unit has a built-in DVD player as it’s perfect for playing all those workout DVDs without any other messy connections.
All-in-all, a great unit and easy to install and set-up. I just might buy another and get rid of that old analog LCD TV altogether…
