Surprisingly good picture with good overall color decoding. No dead pixels and good speaker sound. The only drawback is bellow average contrast. Even when contrast setting is maxed out still shows grayish dark details, also is best to have a good antenna for optimum -freeze free- reception. Overall a good LCD HDTV.
What's great about it: Nice picture
What's not so great: Low contrast.

Good Picture, Bad Sound

I bought this last month and with a 99 cent antenna was able to pick up all my local digital and analog channels. The analog channels looked bad, but there's a large apartment building across the street that is blocking the good reception. How great that with digital TV you have no such problem. All channels look very good and the HD shows are amazing, compared to the old tv set I had before... I don't need a cable tv to have a clear tv picture anymore. I also got some Insignia computer spakers for 29.99 and connected them to the tv and that improved the sound. I thought that I'd be able to move the screen up and down / left and right to be able to get the best view but it's impossible. So, if I'm in bed the picture gets too dark.
What's great about it: great picture
What's not so great: sound is not very good

I really haven't experienced any of the problems that other reviews discussed. The product is very satisfactory for the price, and my Xbox 360 looks great on it. The cables are difficult to reach, but that is more of an inconveinience than anything else. The sound is loud enough and of good quality, the menus are easy to use, and should I encounter any problems, the best buy help line was very helpful in helping me order this item, so I have confidence they will be easy to deal with should I need to.
What's great about it: Easy to set up, compatible, inexpensive, good quality
What's not so great: Inputs difficult to reach/see

I bouht this tv a week ago to replace a non-digital 14" RCA tube in my bedroom. I am VERY impressed with it! it had great picture the second I turned it on! and it picked up all my local channels up in HD without a separte HD antenna except two but that is because they aren't broadcasting in digital yet but they will, and the speakers are GREAT for its class! It has better speakers than other tvs I looked at! I am very impressed with INSIGNIA! at first I was a little ify because it was not a name brand but they have a very good product! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a good tv for their bedroom or something like that! I will definitely be buying another INSIGNIA product in the future!!! by the way it has a 16:9 aspect ratio not 16:10!
What's great about it: VERY good picture, good speakers for its class
What's not so great: NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is our first flat screen. We were looking for a TV for the bedroom that would not take away from the furniture. Our mistake was that we bought it too small. For over 50 eyes, we needed a larger TV. I can't even see the channel info on the screen with my glases on.But it was very easy to set up with regular cable. The picture is great. We will probably move this TV to the kitchen someday and buy a larger one for the bedroom.
What's great about it: This TV was very easy to set up.
What's not so great: Small.

this television is pretty good tv. In addition to the coaxial input for tv It has one hdmi, one component, one s-video, and one composite input for dvd players and such. The composite and s-video inputs share the audio input. So, if you want to switch from a composite vcr to an s-video dvd player, you need to unplug vcr audio and plug in dvd audio.
The us also a vga port for computers. You can plug it in and use this tv as a monitor for your computer. It also features an audio input for the pc so you can us the tv speaker for your computer.
There are only two audio outputs, the coaxial output and headphone jack. You can use the coaxial output to connect to receivers and such and the headphone jack for headphone use. One problem I found was that the headphone jack was that the headphone jack was placed in the back with the other inputs, so it was somewhat of a hassle plugging the headphones in.
The picture is excellent on the tv. The tv can go to up to 720p and 1080i. There are also different aspect ratios you can use depending on your inputs (such as widescreen dvd or regular 4:3 cabletv. The VGA input only has 2 sizes, Normal and Wide. Normal is the standard screen ratios (640x480, 800x600, etc.) Wide is the widescreen ratio for widescreen resolutions (1440x900). The only problem with the vga rations is that there is only normal or the widescreen setting. The widescreen setting does the whole screen, which is a 16:10 ratio, not 16:9. So if you use Xbox 360 on the vga port with widescreen, even with the closest matched resolution setting, the circles will still slightly be ovalish.
The tv speakers are your average tv speakers, I personally have my audio going to a receiver. Since there is no composite audio out, I only put the video feed into the tv and audio feed to the receiver. If you to have a don't have a coaxial receiver you could get a stereo 3.5mm to RCA y cable and have sound go from headphone jack to speakers/receiver.
What's great about it: hdmi, vga,
What's not so great: only two aspect ratios for vga, headphone jack placement

This TV looks very good for my Wii games. The image is very bright and crisp and the sound is pretty decent. The true wide screen does have black bars at the top and bottom, but it's not too bad. The menus are very tiny, but not a big deal since you won't be browsing it often. The batteries that came with my TV for the remote were bad, so I had to use batteries from something else.
What's great about it: Crisp screen. decent wide screen
What's not so great: Tiny menus, bad batteries

This is a GREAT option in a 19" LCD. I found it to be well built, offers every single connection available, and is a good performer. I use this in my RV and was very pleased with the HDTV performance using the antenna. If I feed it a standard def signal, it struggles a bit. Make good use of the HDMI connection and feed it a 720P signal. The actual screen resolution is bigger than 720, so you end up with black bars even on widescreen format. The set is bright, appears well made, the remote works well, and I didn't have any problems using a VESA mount. At $379 - I'd probably opt for a more popular brand, but at $250 you can't go wrong here. Great kids TV/monitor, bedroom, or RV set. Low power consumption too, so don't fear the inverter.
What's great about it: Every connection known to man, ATSC, price
What's not so great: Overscan

Bought this TV after reading several reviews and noticed it was on sale. Set-up was easy and fast. Very impressed by the picture quality and the loudness of the volume. I have it hanging from the ceiling in my garage, hooked up to my cable. Very pleased with TV and would recommend to anyone. Plus, I could not pass on the sale price of $269.99.
What's great about it: nice, picture, volume adequate

I bought this TV about 3 weeks ago and it is well worth the money. The picture is very good without any noticable issues so far. The sound is adequate. The menus are easy and it works great with my FiOS HD. I am using it in a 20 x 30 room and the picture is good enough to be seen clearly anywhere in the room.

I purchased this TV one week ago to hang from the wall in my bedroom. Purchased a VESA 100 mount and hung very easily (stand removes). Currently have hooked up to DISH Network reciever. Standard def signal looks amazing on this TV. Made a few tweaks to with the color and sharpness and am extremely impressed by the quality of picture. There is some light bleeding on super back images but for the price, not a worry. I am extremely impressed by the zoom feature for SD channels. Some TV's distort the picture when zooming, but with this TV, it looks very natural and really enhances the picture. I am viewing this TV from about 10 ft away and I think this helps with the picture as well. Overall, I am extremely impressed with this TV. Definitely a best buy for its category.
What's great about it: Excellent Picture, good features, AMAZING VALUE
What's not so great: SUPER BRIGHT LED light on the front

I bought this TV yesterday, took it home and had it on in less than 5 minutes. I still have analog in my bedroom, but when it did all the channel programming it picked up so much more than my old TV. I only had a problem with one channel, but it still came in good. The picture is phenomenal even with analog.
What's great about it: Picture/ Easy set up
What's not so great: Unused space on sides of screen.

I bought this item about 2 days ago and I am very happy with it. It show's a great picture and the sound is good. The set up was very customer friendly. This TV is good for the bedroom or any small living area. The only problem I have is the small channel number's, I could'nt tell what channel the TV was on because of the small display. I called the company and told them about the small display and they just recommended me another LCD TV of theirs that cost more.
What's great about it: great price/great picture and sound.
What's not so great: channel numbers are to small.

I was ecstatic when I found out I could hook up my laptop to it (used to an analog tv)... and all the cords already came with the tv! I love it for that use! It's very easy and straight-forward to set up. I'm not to much into watching tv... it is my first tv to own. The channels are slow to flip through and the display for the channel number is slow. I'll probably eventually get used to it.
What's great about it: Good quality, can use as a second monitor
What's not so great: slow to turn on, off light is bright, slow to change channels, dark colors aren't as clear, display/menu is small
I would recommend this to a friend!
