TV Reviews

Panasonic produces excellent 9inch TVs. Smaller screens give you crisper and more brilliant looking pictures. This is a very exact 2-head TV-VCR with monaural playback. Videotapes look really good on this unit. You can take it along with you with the Car cord included for portable AC/DC operation. It has a Built-in FM radio with auto scan and front audio-video jacks which come in handy. This unit gives you incredible picture quality because of its inherent size and design. Videotapes that don't look so great at home look excellent when played on this unit. The picture actually looked very sharp. I highly recommend this set.

This is yet another exceptional combination TV-VCRs from Panasonic. Panasonic has a lock on the 9inch TV market. One reason is the incredible picture quality they have for this size screen. Nobody else comes close. The picture is crisp and sharp. VHS tapes look incredibly detailed. This white cased unit comes with an automobile-chord, which allows portable AC/DC operation if you so desire. It also has front (mono) audio-video jacks for camcorder connection and a built-in FM radio.

in addition to my previous review!! one word of warning. if you sit close to tv and have volume at low levels there is an audible buzz i assume comes from the amplifier. i am about 8 feet away and it is no problem because volume is up enough to not notice. but if your set up or viewing preference is close to tv and low volume levels it could be annoying!! still rating this unit high because i have no issue here but you may.

Picture is absolutely brilliant. Sound is very good for a 27" TV with plenty of bass. Although i am adjusting sound for different sources often. Remote is excellent for TV operation but the whole M-link thing is a bit of overkill. Would be better if it was simply a learning remote to control other equipment(at least for my bedroom use). Plenty of hookup options 1 component video , 2 s-video , 3 rca jack inputs (a/v) , monitor output (a/v) and a single headphone out. Have my Xbox hooked up by component and is incredible for gaming and dvds! Also has rear simulated surround speaker jacks which i haven't used yet but plan to. Guide plus is very nice to have especially with cable that has no interactive guide. PIP is the best i've used with 2 tuners and a full split screen option. Has several nice small features such as on/off timer (can be used as alarm clock!). Overall look of TV is impressive. It is a little larger than many 27's but the look is worth the extra space. Also a bit front end heavy due to glass flat screen but no big deal if you have a sturdy stand. Be sure and shop this one , plenty of great deals out there! I picked one up ... new in box with full factory warranty!! At that price what's not to love?

I am using this tv to it's fullest: Progressive scan DVD, and HDTV, and the perfomance is amazing! You can't beat the price, I highly reccomend this television.

I did research for almost 3 months before deciding on an HDTV-ready TV. For HDTV-ready CRT TVs, this is one amazing product! Shipping was very fast, I ordered it on a Sunday and received a call from the local delivery company the following Wednesday to have it delivered. I only found it in one retail store for a bit cheaper, but it is worth it because it is delivered to your doorwithout any hassles.
Setup is a blast, it has a total of 4 RCA inputs, one component input and 2 S-video inputs.

Don't get me wrong, I am extremely picky when it comes to picture quality, but you have to see it to believe it! The colors are incredibly vibrant. It is time to put your DVDs to test with this TV! It has a bunch of sound options, including virtual surround, as well as 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio options (the TV itself is 4:3).
For this price the quality and functions you get are almost rediculously extensive. I am surprised I didn't read any other review for this product anywhere else. The best fucntion of it is, it takes the analog signal and completes the lines available in NTSC, so you don't see any lines in your broadcast picture. Pixelation is very minimal.
I haven't purchased HDTV service from my cable company, but I am sure a TV that has such incredible abilities for analog pictures can also do a great job in handling HDTV. For the price, it is definitely a best buy!

Well this wasn't my first HDTV of choice. I originally ordered Toshiba 51h83 51 inch Widescreen from Amazon. After 3 weeks they backordered, then the next day they cancelled my order for this product has been discontinued. I wasn't happy about it at all, because I was getting that TV for $1396.00 and that included shipping. Now it was time to start shopping again. I am so happy I had a chance to buy this Philips TV. This thing is a beast at 55 inches. The HDTV picture is incredible. Even playing VHS tapes off my VCR produces a great picture. I haven't hooked up a progressive scan DVD player to it yet, it is due to arrive in a few days. I am sure it will produce nothing less than a great picture. I am also into sound and I have not hooked my surround reciever up to it yet. I have been using the TV audio and it is great. This TV will overwhelm you with all it feature and size. I would tell anyone shopping for a Widescreen HDTV to concsider this one. You won't be dissapointed.

Great set and price!
Got all the conections, DVI, HDTV inputs, etc.
Eagle delivery is great too!

I shopped till I dropped but this TV had the best depth perception of all of them. Also I could view it at different angles it didnt seem like the light was centered in the middle. Great TV!

This TV is fantastic. The picture is exceptionally good, even in smaller rooms. It doesn't give off the typical glare during the day and can be viewed clearly from even wide angles. The room we have it in is a medium sized family room. The picture is great anywhere in the room but if your room is big the picture is just awesome. I am so pleased we purchased this TV.

Es un gran televisor para un precio excelente. Una joya de los ultimos modelos analogos.

We purchased our first TV 14 years ago when we were first married and it is a QUASAR. Needless to say it's still working great. We only bought a 19" and paid the same price for it as the one listed here. It has been through local moves where we purchased it and a 400 mile move; we have buttons missing off the front of the TV, but that is our fault, not the fault of the TV, if this QUASAR that I am considering purchasing is the same quality as the one we already own and lasts for 14 years, I definately reccommend it. The reason I am looking for another TV is because we purchased a second one (PHILIPS/MAGNOVAX)from BEST BUY four years ago, and the picture and sound went out on it recently, and it's not under warranty, so it will be cheaper for me to purchase a new TV than try to fix it. With a family of five it's hard to live without a second TV.

I have purchase this TV 7 months ago, and I am enjoying every second of watching time. It's great with my surround sound. Very stylish. Very elegant, great picture at an affordable price.

This is my first big screen TV purcahse. I selected this set because out of 18 other big screens on display at the store, it was the most stylish, reasonably priced, and had the best picture. One word of warning, this set is big!!! you need a viewing area of at least 12 feet to enjoy the best view. If you sit closer, the images start to blur. I have it hooked up to the FREE RCA home theater system (nice additional perk for the purchase...) that came with it and it blows my neighbors away. This complete system is way more than I expected and needed actually for my room size 20 X 18. If your room is this size or smaller, I would recommend it's little brother, the 52" size. I have read many posts about RCA quality, but personally I have owned many RCA products without any problems, so I don't expect any from this set. If you are shopping for a big screen, make sure you take a look at this one before you buy...it might change your mind!

I paid $78 for this 13" RCA "floor model"(on store display for 5 days). I was extremely pleased with the sound and picture quality of this TV. It has exceeded my expectations. The remote control is user friendly and the buttons are easy to access. I highly recommend this TV for a kitchen or small bedroom. It has a great price too!

never owned rca before...but this one is perfect with a sharp picture and a cool look you will either love or hate. My relatively young Mitsubishi 20 inch went on the fritz (2nd one in the family to do that--never buy again).....so I got this as a replacement while I saved for a large screen. Still going good after 6 months of constant use and moving around.

Outstanding! It is everything that the manufacturer say's it is. I would recommend this above the 38" RCA HD which is about 2 stars in my estimation. I had a difficult time picking this set above a projection type TV but am sure glad I did. My only problem was with it's weight but there is nothing you can do about that. I sit about 6 feet away from the TV and can see no trace of "lines" when watching regular TV.

I have owned this TV/Monitor for 3 months. This unit provides the multiable jacks for all of my equipment: HD DirecTV receiver, DVD Player, VCR, Computer, CamCorder, PlayStation and more. When used with the RCA DTC 100 in the 16:9 HD mode, the picture quality is outstanding! Set does very well in standard 4:3 mode as well. Some practice and a good user memory is needed to use the remote to switch between all the TV settings and equipment. Finding a suitable alternate TV stand (original matching RCA stand hard to find or not available) with space for 4 pieces of equipment under the set was difficult due to the size (Width and depth) and weight of the set. Finally found one from Bush furniture. Over all I'm very pleased with the set and would recommend it for those folks who are not ready to jump both feet into HDTV yet.

I have had the 240T for over a year now. It is flat out the best monitor one the market today. 1920x1200 over DVI gives razor sharp text, the backlight is super bright and completely even and the colors are stunning. It has such a high pixel frequency that there is never any streaking when playing games. HDTV is awesome on it. Hook up a MyHD card with DVI and enjoy full resolution HDTV.
Everyone who comes over to my house cannot believe how nice it is (and most of my friends are computer geeks).
Trust me, 5 minutes after you pull the 240T out of the box you will forget how much you paid for it.

Until I put the Samsung 240T on my desk, I had thought I could never have a monitor that was too large. Now I'm not so sure. This monitor's physically wide enough that if I position it as close to me as I'd position other LCDs, I actually have to swivel my head to view the whole screen. And the pixel pitch (size of pixels) is wider than I was used to on my IBM A21P Thinkpad notebook (1600x1200 resolution on 15" diagonal) and on my SGI 1600SW (1600x1024 resolution on 17" diagonal). All in all, the monitor looks better viewed from a little further away than these monitors. The brightness, contrast and viewing angle on this monitor blows away anything else I've ever seen. The panel is absolutely uniformly lit and mine arrived with no dead or stuck pixels. The 1920x1200 resolution is large enough for the highest resolution HDTV (1080, which is 1920x1080 pixels).

Contrary to both Samsung's manual and Radeon's manuals, but in agreement with comments on countless mailing lists, both the Radeon 9000 and 9700 Pro models with 128MB memory were able to drive this monitor at full 1920x1200 resolution with DVI. The difference between DVI inputs and VGA inputs is night and day, with DVI being far superior in terms of sharpness. The S-video inputs are quite reasonable, and TV images look as good on this monitor as on other analog TVs, and provide a means to play VHS from from VCR without needing S-video inputs on my computer. But DVDs look much much better when played on the computer's DVD player through a decent progressive software decoder like WinDVD coupled with the graphics card's built-in rescaler. In fact, it's one of the best DVD images I've ever seen. To get the best sound, I take the computer's S/PDIF digital output directly into my AV receiver, thus bypassing my computer's sound card entirely.

All in all, this is a great monitor for home theater and one of only a handful of monitors that run 1920x1200 resolution. Others include Sony's PremierePro P232 23"; Samsung's replacement for this model, the 241MP 24", which also has component video input; and the Apple Cinema HD 23", which requires a connector dongle for DVI input and has no hardware control or S-video input. The Samsung 210T is an identical monitor feature-wise, and uses the same panel technology and same size pixels, but provides a conventional 1600x1200 aspect ratio. Note that it does not come with the speakers, but then I wanted to use my serious home theater speakers anyway.
