User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars LCD TV
I had little luck receiving any channels on this TV. Tried different antennae, all of which had worked on another TV, and could not get more than 3 channels.
2 Stars Decent but Flawed Cheap TV
Pro: No dead or stuck pixels. The tuner has good reception. Good selection of inputs and the on-screen menus are well thought out. The resolution is as advertised. The speakers are better than most TVs of this size, but still sound tinny.
Con: The LCD panel has poor vertical viewing angle, you need to be looking at it at almost 0 degrees. Viewed from 20 degrees below and it is almost black. Viewed from 20 degrees above and it is completely washed out. Absolutely terrible color banding. Instead of a smooth color gradient you see obvious bands of solid color. I tested this side by side with a Sony viewing the same off-air video source (1080i native source material). The Sony looked great, the Coby had obvious banding. I assume this is a 6-bit per pixel panel used for cheap computer monitors and not the 8 or 10 bits per pixel panels used with most TVs.
Conclusion: For the price this is an adequate TV for an exercise room or fishing cabin where quality does not matter. Not acceptable for a TV that will be viewed frequently.
4 Stars As expected
This TV is about what I expected from a lower priced TV: nothing outstanding, but good, solid functionality and quality. We use this at our cottage on a wall mount to save space. We simply play the DVD/VCR through it since we don’t have a cable hook-up. It’s more than fine for that purpose.
4 Stars perfect for my room
This TV was a steal for $209 (no shipping, no tax) when I bought it.
I mostly got it because I had a smaller, non-HDTV that wasn’t widescreen before, and I recently got a 12.1 inch laptop so I wanted a bigger widescreen HDTV that I could use as a monitor for it. It’s perfect!
I didn’t want to get the DVD player attached since I don’t know how long the DVD era will last, and since I hook my laptop up to it anyway, I might as well just use it as the DVD player and save $20 or however much.
It has a nice picture, the colors are very bright, and the audio is all right, but I personally up some surround sound because that’s how I roll. 
4 Stars pretty good for the price
This TV is good for the price, I like it so far no problems yet.
