19-Inch widescreen LED HDTV with an attractive super-slim profile fits anywhere
Energy efficient technology meets Energy Star 3.0 and California Energy Commission standards (standby power 100), we get terrific picture quality. The sound from the extra-wide cabinet's wings is also quite respectable. This is convenient as my wife gets frustrated turning on all my assorted audio gear to produce TV sound.However, for the lower-number CATV channels, the incresed screen size makes cable signal imperfections more obvious. I bought an exotic power conditioner for all my components to offset noise, but the CATV signal is still lousy. Apparently, with some digital CATV services, the lower-number channels are delivered in analog format and are subject to a lot of distortion. All this makes a good case for satellite service(or a better capital improvement program by the local CATV supplier to make the system digital end-to-end...{Hope some product manager from Cox reads this some day}). The TV set also accepts memory sticks. I have a new Sony DSCV1 digital camera, and it's fun to plug in the memory sticks and watch slide shows.The set has lots of programmable features, an easy to read manual, and a high-tech remote. Regrettably, my CATV remote does not talk to this TV. We've had this set for a month now, and we're delighted.
This review is from: Coby LEDTV1935 19-Inch LED HDTV (Black)This is by far the most I have ever spent on a TV. But I was ready to upgrade my old set, and wanted to buy something that would allow me to eventually go HD. This set has everything and the picture is simply amazing - HD or no HD.I orginally bought an "HD-ready" TV from another brand. But I returned it because I was not sold on the quality of manufacturing (I had what apparantley is a common defect in that set). I paid several hundred dollars more for this Sony set because I am 100% sold on the quality of Sony electronics. So - while I wasnt happy to pay more than I needed to, all I want is to plug in the set and forget about it. Given what these sets cost, I am fine to pay more for that peace of mind.In searching around the web, I found one review that mentioned that this set does not show non-HD tv signals well, and specifically that satellite tv signals (which is what I have) look awful. When I first set up the tv, I had the picture mode set to "vivid" and did find the picture to appear quite pixelated. I fixed this problem by connecting the satellite signal through the Monster Home Theater "power conditioner" and set the picture display to "standard" instead of "vivid." The picture is now simply amazing. It's so good, in fact, I feel no need to hurry to upgrade to HD.Bottom-line: a bit pricey, but worth it. You can probably get a good HD-ready set for less, but if you're going to spend in the ballpark of this set, I suggest you consider manufacturing quality along with picture quality and features. I've never gone wrong with Sony electronics and am happy even though I paid a bit more for it.
This review is from: Coby LEDTV1935 19-Inch LED HDTV (Black)HDTVs come in many forms these days, and they can get quite confusing. LCD, CRT, Plasma, Projection... you have many options to go with if you're planning on making the HD jump. But if you're like me, and are an avid video game player (past systems to the new crop), you owe it to yourself to scoop up this TV. I have many friends that have different brands of HDTVs and I also work at an electronics refurbishing place that sees its share of TVs through its doors, I can fully attest to Sony's quality. No other brand comes close to the sheer perfection of the colors and picture on this set. First of all, please have at least 2 friends handy whenever you pick this TV up from whatever store you're buying it from because its the heaviest TV ever made. No joke. It almost gave me an instant hernia. This baby has 7 inputs of all varieties, 2 components and 1 DVI input. Being that this is a 4:3 TV, and not a 16:9 widescreen model, let it be known that your black bars will not being dissapearing from your favorite DVDs. If you're strictly a DVD buff, this TV is probably not for you. Likewise, if your into watching TV, more specifically an HDTV signal being transmitted in 720p or 1080i, this TV is ALSO not for you. Your picture will be letterboxed, not only on the tops and bottoms, but also on the sides in some cases. This is because 720p and 1080i signals are meant for 16:9 TVs and take advantage of that aspect ratio. Don't get me wrong, DVDs actually do look GREAT on this set, its just this TV is so high quality it brings out ALL the imperfections when viewing movies in progressive mode. Plasmas and the like do a better job of hiding these imperfections and smoothing out artifacts. Movies in 2.35:1 aspect ratio look especially nice on this TV, the TV itself has a great built in 16:9 enhanced mode. I tend to find movies that have lots of action and people on the screen at once, look reall good. The Lord of the Rings series and LEGEND look awesome on this TV, some of the best ones I've seen in my library of over 150 DVDs. NOW.... what this TV does do the best is the displaying of VIDEO GAMES! If you're like me and don't give a flying fudge about watching an HDTV signal, or any TV period, this is THE TV for you. Ninja Gaiden in 480p mode is quite possibly the best looking, most fluid video game that will ever grace your eyeballs. The textures used in that game in 480p JUMP off the screen and it's almost as if you can touch them. This TV feels like it has the most insane refresh rate ever, I run my computer games in 1600 x 1200 w/ a refresh rate of near 90 Hz, and this TV seems to be at least that if not higher. Everything just moves so freakin' SMOOTH. Gamecube games run w/ the component cable also look incredible (Check out Metroid Prime). Thanks to the DRC chip inside this baby, now all your older video games can...
