Customer Reviews

Superb LCD TV
I brought this HDTV even after reading the previous two reviews. Now that I had it for a while, I can say that this one excellent HDTV. I will address the biggest complaint in the two previous reviews, the sound quality. Well, the sound system to this TV will not be overpowering to anyone but it also quite functional. Chances are, if this is your primary TV set, you will have the sound system to go with your HDTV so the TV's audio system would be immaterial. If this is a back-up TV, then the audio system is good enough for casual uses. I live near an airport and major road network and I don't have any problem hearing this TV set. It would be nicer if the speakers were better but it does the job.

On the other hand, the picture quality, colors, contrast and everything else that goes with this type of TV is simply superb. I have tested out many 720p LCD set and I think this one got it all beat. This set also come with a build-in progressive scan DVD player that is tailor made for your DVD collection - that is your regular DVD collection and not the Blu-Ray or HD stuff. If this is your first HDTV buy and you got a large regular DVD collection like I do, then buying this set is definite no-brainer.

So what you have here is a 720p LCD HDTV that is definitely one of the best in its size, with a DVD player to boot and only weakness is that the audio might be slightly underpowered. I still gave it five stars in the end because the audio weakness didn't bother me at all. Of course, my hearing could be better then the previous two reviewers.

great picture low volume output
build quality is great. picture is great. volume output is too low making the tv hard to hear if there is any ambient niose whatsoever

Big dissappointment!
This review is not for this model exactly but the LC-26AD22U which is the equivalent (I think) in the Aquos line. This is my seventh flat screen (LCD or plasma) that I have purchased and the 3 stars are for the picture quality, I took off 2 stars for the poor audio quality. After reading other reviews- I thought - that others might be asking too much from the audio section of a TV that for most it was not going to be the main TV (I bought it for my daughter's room), How bad could it be? .. well, this HDTV has (so far) the worst audio section of any TV I have owned (I have/had Samsung, Hitachi, Sylvania, Dynex, Westinghouse) It is incredible low, thin and "flat" sounding (words of my daughter and spouse). So my advice to others is that if you don't care about the audio quality because you will hook it to an audio system then go for it but if this is a stand alone HDTV and you want a good sounding one then you better skip the brand completely (and least in this size) and check others. I sincerely don't recommend it and I am going to return this one. Thanks for your attention.
