2 Stars Good ideas, poor execution
Pro: Unique styling, good picture quality if you are directly in front and at the same height as the TV, great price, good reception.
Con: Really poor sound. Has external sound jack, but the sound volume is constant, even if you mute the TV sound, external sound is the same. Off axis picture quality deteriorates quickly as you move from dead center either up/down or left/right. Not reliable, after 45 days, the power button (only) stopped responding – remote works, but the on unit power button is broken.
On the whole, this unit is more trouble than it is worth. Called the [...] customer service number and they will send a refurbished unit if I don’t mind waiting and wading through the process of verification and shipping. They will send a prepaid shipping label once they have acceptable proof of purchase, and are very courteous on the phone.
It is tough to buy a unit without first seeing and trying it – but then there is the reliability problem, wish me better luck next time.
2 Stars Don’t mount under cabinet
I’m going to be sending this TV back after trying it mounted under a cabinet. The viewing angle is great when it is upright, but upside down the viewing angle is horrible. You have to be positioned directly on center with the TV to see it if you are more than a few inches above the screen. The sound is also poor.
3 Stars decent for an auxiliary tv
I got this tv to replace an aging 5 inch B&W SD TV in our bathroom. We use this TV for watching traffic and weather as we’re getting ready for work. Beyond that, I wouldn’t recommend this TV. This unit does have a good tuner, nice remote, and the ability to position the screen is great. The downsides include are a poor picture (bright enough, but a lot of pixelation of colors) and abysmal sound (the sound is tinny/harsh and has a constant hum in the background)
5 Stars Nice TV for bedroom or kitchen
I purchased this unit for my GF to use in the kitchen. She really likes this TV. I liked the mounting options and for the $$$ it was a good purchase.
3 Stars Would be perfect if they improved the speakers
PROS
- Great mounting options
- Picture quality
- Visible in high glare location
CONS
- Awful speakers (everything sounds tiny)
Great TV that I bought as a gift. Everything about it is perfect for a kitchen TV, with the exception of the awful sound the thing puts out. Luckily it has an audio-out jack, but frankly I shouldn’t have to come up with workarounds for a TV at this price range.

1 Star DISSATISFIED
The $25 wall mount (can be called an articulating arm) claims to be able to support 33#, both in a horizontal and vertical direction. It could not support my iMac, 24″, weighing 23.5#. The monitor’s weight could not be supported vertically as the flat screen flopped downward to the maximum downward tilt with the the horizontal hinge torqued to its limits. This made the mount unuseable requiring return. The Bretford mount on the Apple site looks similar but cost $129. I returned the flexible tilt mount and purchased a fixed (no tilt) wall mount which worked fine. The inexpensive price proved costly as I paid almost an equal $25 price for the initial shipping $9, the return shipping $9 plus a 15% restocking fee, as per Amazon’s policies.
I can not be sure the weight distribution played a factor, as I doubt the specific product was a defective unit.
5 Stars LCD mount
Great product at a great price. Fits the TV perfectly and mounts and adjusts easily.
4 Stars good product & easy to install
Very easy to install and use. The arm and tilt functions work great. Would recommend.
5 Stars Great mount for the price
I ordered one of these for my wife because she wanted to mount her 24″ monitor on the wall to free up some disk space. This is a very versatile mount but installation could be a little tricky because it is all one piece. When I mounted it to the desk, it was easy because I placed the monitor on a stack of books set at the desired height. We ordered a 2nd mount to mount a TV in the corner of our dining room. Because it was high off the ground, I had to attach the mount to the wall, then hold the TV up while my wife attached the screws to the back. All in all, great mount for the price, highly recommended!

The thing has no friction to keep it in place, and no locking position to keep from moving. I had to fashion something witha C clamp It was rocking all over in the RV. Next to useless
