If, like me, you live in an area average TV-fringe, and you intend to use included (or other external) antenna, one of the first things to do when you receive this TV is nice to connect it to the best antenna available to make your auto-scan. Which is easy because it has a standard antenna connector, and necessary, because this will_not_tune any TV channel not previously found by the auto-scan. Manual tuning selects only one channel previously auto-scan. My position, the rabbit ear antenna attached is practically useless. But amplified antenna connected to my home, I easily gathered all the digital stations that normally receive more than another, and without problems for many large trees around my house. So the tuner is very sensitive and very susceptible to multipath interference. With the supplied external connected, I eventually managed to get all the stations received using the large antenna, which was a nice surprise, though it took some fiddling with the antenna (two inches can mean the difference). The image of digital television provided is very good, with a very nice color, resolution and contrast.
I did not expect great sound, since the speakers are small (about 1 inch in diameter on the front). Certainly not high fidelity, but it is less understandable. The sound of headphones is a bit ‘better.
Other surprises include no volume and power on / off switch on the credit card size remote (No big deal. Gotta be almost at hand to see details of pictures in each case). And the internal battery can be charged car adapter – It’s a load only when the TV is connected to AC power.

Follow-up 2/4/09: still like this TV, but I’m now on the second – the first has stopped responding to remote control after about two weeks, and was quickly replaced for free from Amazon. The second runs at least as the first. Further reflections: This TV is designed to be placed on a table as a frame, but if it is necessary to mount elsewhere, well, there is a threaded hole like a tripod socket on the bottom. Does not seem very strong, and seems to have just been printed in the plastic. The manual does not say anything about it. Also, the AC adapter does not generate some electrical noise (does the TV), so the AM radio reception can be affected, particularly if the radio is near.

I had a 5 “black and white in my kitchen, and knew, with the conversion to digital, I would need something else. I ordered this based on 2 reviews out there at the moment and are so happy with this TV. I live in Houston so there are nearly 40 available channels of digital and analog channels on this that I have not even on my standard cable! I initially had problems with some of the digital stations, I continued to move the TV around trying to pick up signal (my problem was that I want the TV to sit under my cabinet and I think that interfered with the antenna picking up clear signals). I was frustrated, and then remembered another antenna that comes with.’ve unplugged the internal connection connected this extra antenna and put it on my window sill and all channels came perfectly, without having to change anything. The cable stand-up antenna is long enough to put some distance from the TV which is very convenient because you can move around for the best reception. The picture is clear as a whistle and the sound is very good, not muffled or fuzzy at all. the big screen is another bonus, most of the HD digital channels are to a large full-screen mode to make it work well. This is not an effort to install and I am so glad I took the plunge and bought!
Update: I have not had to use this even in a power loss, but from time to time have removed and brought to the table to watch during dinner, when I wanted to see a show I was in the middle. The 1 1 / 2 hr. battery now works for barely 1 / 2 hr. and I have not used often. I really bought this to use in my kitchen, but also equally important to work during another storm, after a small black and white and took the battery and worked beautifully last time I need. With the new digital change, I had to find something else to have on hand and, apparently, this is not it. There is a new coming out in August that takes normal alkaline batteries, I would suggest to go for one that, if you want something to work in emergency situations. Continue to use this in my kitchen, but now will probably have to buy another just for emergencies since I live in an area subject to hurricanes. Very disappointed.
Update # 2: Finding a solution for low battery power. The new TV that has the option of battery is not properly assessed and apparently to get the battery, you must purchase an additional $ 70 pieces. After some research, I discovered that Duracell is a 100 watt power inverter drives go, this is an extra battery can be recharged from any power outlet and / or your car, as well, and will provide additional battery power not only for this TV, but for mobile phones, iPods or any other small electronics. Not only supplies power, it will recharge your devices as well. It provides 44 hours. charging for an iPod, 12 days for a phone, and 2 hours. a laptop computer. It has several outlets on it so you can use more than one device at a time with this battery. This item sells for about $ 40 and is a good solution for those concerned about being without electricity for a certain period of time.
