5 Stars Buy This TV!
Great TV, only downfall is that it needs an antenna, but I knew that when I was buying it. Add a 15-20 dollar antenna and your set.

4 Stars perfect for what we were looking for
We needed a small tv with decent sound quality for a small space and this fit the bill! At a great price, to boot!

5 Stars works good
T V is really nice. the only thing that I would like to have better speakers with it.It is not quite loud enough…. overall a good t v

5 Stars Some tech info
Very solid little TV. I bought it for my sons room and I’m really pleasantly surprised. The tv construction is solid and the performance is respectable. The remote is a little plasticy but has taken some abuse and is still working fine and looking as good as it ever did. (The last might not be a compliment.)

Here is some technical info I manged to dig up after a painfully long search. Hopefully it will help someone else if I leave it here.

TFDVD2274 usb/sd functions:

MP3 Supported Sampling Frequency: 8/11.025/12/16/22.05/24/32/44.1/48 KHz (MPEG1/2/2.5 Layer 1/2/3 ISO/IEC111723,ISO/IEC13818-3.2)

WMA Supported Sampling Frequency: The same as MP3, WMA8/WMA9 Nonsupport WMA9 lossless,WMA9 Voice,WMA9 Professional or DRM

Supported Bit-rates: Can support 5~320 kbits/s for constant bit rate. up to 384 kbps for variable bit

JPEG

MPEG1/2/4

USB can support 3.5Mbps;

SD Card can support 6Mbps;

4 Stars NICE MONITOR
NICE MONITOR, GOOD CRISP AND CLEAR VIEWING. ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE REMOTE IS VERY BAD. DIFFICULT TO CHANGE CHANNELS AND MAKE OTHER CHANGES UNLESS YOU ARE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF TV AND POINT AT SPECIFIC ANGLE. OTHERWISE, GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY.

5 Stars Works Great, kinda slow
Great Picture, Great Features. Plays almost every type of file from USB port.

As everyone states…the remote is pretty bad and you can’t use a universal remote for a replacement. It also takes about 15 seconds to power up (seems like forever compared to other TVs).

Overall it is a good value and you can’t beat the price!

5 Stars Excellent product!
No problems…I got what I paid for…and then some!! VERY HAPPY!!!…Forget “malls”…Go to Amazon!!!(My opinion…90% satisfaction!!!)…(Ps…No one paid me to say this.)

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 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 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 pretty good for the price
This TV is good for the price, I like it so far no problems yet.

2 Stars Cheap you get what you pay for
If you want to save $50 and get a TV that is really built on a budget, this is for you. If you want a TV that will last, spend the extra $50 and get a TV that will be with you for years to come.

The TV looks and feel likes a toy company built it. I love the the remote bends when you push it buttons(It won’t last long). But it doesn’t stop there, the TV has a lot of fragile and flimsy components, but you are getting a cheap TV.

4 Stars Nice for the price
I purchased the TFTV1923 to use for training and display purposes. My most important requirement was that it be easy to carry around and have decent sound and picture. Both are fine, though the sound is tinny. It sets up easily and is perfect for use in small areas and especially in small meetings. I was unable to get any picture reception with a good digital antenna at my home office location. I know the reception in this area is decent, so was disappointed I got no hits on the channel scan. A good buy for the price and quality.

1 Star Waste of Money!
I bought this TV about four months ago, and it worked decently for a few months. Then all of a sudden one day it just stopped working for no visible reason. The Coby tech support was beyond useless in trying to get my tv working again. Their response was “oh well too bad there is nothing we can do.” So now a few short months after buying this tv i have a $180 paperweight. Do NOT waste your time or money on this tv or this company. I am extremely unsatisfied and will never buy from them again.

4 Stars Very pleased!
After searching endlessly for an affordable HDTV, I am very happy with this one. The picture quality is great, and the sound is extremely good (I wasn’t expecting the sound to be good). I am a bit disappointed that the price has gone down by $20 since I bought the TV last week. But overall, it’s definitely worth the money. i would definitely buy more Coby HDTVs. They’re clear and affordable.

4 Stars great picture, lame sound
i like the design of this tv, the input lay out is ideal and keeps all my cords organized. i use this for a t.v., computer screen, dvd player and for my wii. the video from all the imputs is great the colors are vibrant and clear and the picture is sharp. the only down side is the sound, i can’t make anything sound good and each device i have plays at differnt sound levels so when the volume is low on my PC it is very loud on my Wii, i’ve had to go so far as to get a set of aux speakers, a bit of a hastle which adds cost to this reasonably priced t.v., not very consumer freindly coby.

This is an excellent TV for the price. Good picture and acceptable sound. Easy to set up and install. Importantly, it IS mountable.

5 Stars cody 15 inch widescreen lcd hdtv/monitor
i have always wanted a hi-def tv. i enjoy it very much. it was a very good invest-

ment for me.

5 Stars Great little TV
I love this TV. It has a nice, bright picture, it’s very small and easy to carry around, the sound quality is just fine and the overall quality is nice. It’s a great buy for it’s size. I saw more TV’s of the same size selling for twice as much. I recommend it to anyone…for the kitchen, the office, even the bathroom. It’s a good size for the counter top and you can watch it while you are getting ready for work. Might be a little small for the bedroom though.

4 Stars Excellent buy for the price…
I bought this TV for a college dorm. I simply couldn’t have asked for anything better. For its size, its really functional and takes up little or no space. It has all the HD ports necessary to support the Xbox 360. As an added bonus, it should be very easy to take home when school is over! I Recommend this TV to anyone who needs a TV to fit in a small space!

4 Stars Coby TFTV1524 15-inch
The only thing I do not like about this TV is that if you do not have the TV angled in a certain position the people’s heads around their hair are all back and the picture is dark. The color is vibrant too – sometimes too vibrant and the people are very orange even if you adjust the color.
