The contrast ratio can be improved upon. It is a mere 700:1 which is not enough for great black levels. The picture quality is subsequently affected. With contrast ratio reaching high levels by the well known brands in HDTV, Coby has to work on it to...

Excellent RF. Where did those channels come from ; Composite Output! Not listed in specs but this is a rare feature and I need it. Passes thru analog input but not digital picture

First unit had a stuck bright pixel ; Second unit worked about a week before audio started chopping out. Multiple sources, same problem ; No luck setting up a universal remote to work

Good price, fast delivery; hopefully good service when I try and return item

TV has sound, but no picture. Will return for replacement

Good picture ; Several connectors ; Mostly functional even without an On-Screen Display ; Nice viewing range, especially from the sides ; Oddly, the closed captioning works even though the OSD doesn't. I guess it's a pro that one can function...

On-Screen Display cut out after one month ; Doesn't mix well with some PS2 video modes so I cannot play some of my games on it ; Tech support was a hassle to work with. I e-mailed their tech support address and I got a response telling me to call a...

Great TV. Cheap. Got it installed in just a few minutes and the picture looked great out of the box. Usually I have to do a lot of tweaking to get anything to look good on an LCD. Also, the specs say 720p, but it actually supports 1080i and 1080p, as...

None that I can see, but I'm not a videophile. I just want a decent looking TV. One dead pixel, but it's in the deep bottom left hand corner where you can't notice it unless you're really looking

Low cost

After reading the reviews of this set I decided to purchase for my mom. As soon as we received the unit I hooked it up and the picture quality was horrible. Tried every setting and input available but it was just terrible. I own 2 Olivia's (non name...

This COBY television has a very sharp and colorful picture. I went from a standard CRT television to this TV, and this being my first LCD television. From the moment I hooked up my Xbox 360 to it, my jaw dropped. The picture is very good and clean, and...

Like as stated before, the Remote feels cheap and I cannot get it to work with my Xbox360 Universal...But I can live with that

This TV is great, hooked my computer up to it with a DVI to HDMI cable, changed it to my primary display, and bam, desktop was on my TV and looked perfect. I didn't even need to resize like I had with other 720p TVs. I've got a mini-stereo cable going...

None so far

Great Quality, looks larger than I expected, which is good. :-)

Can't find universal remote code

Great quality image. Beautiful, bright, sharp picture when viewing an HD channel. Very attractive design with permanently attached swivel base. Built-in speaker sound quality is better than typical for a tv in this class and the speakers are front...

Remote is fairly poor quality with limited options. A nicer remote would have been appropriate for this model. But it does include the buttons that you will use most frequently. With most cable/satellite sytems you will primarily use the cable box...
