Apex GT2015DV 20-Inch Pure Flat TV-DVD Combo
Just look at the price
A few minor irritations aside, as discussed below, I couldn't be happier with this TV/DVD.  It has served as my main/only TV for the last month.  For the price, I just couldn't pass it up when I needed a basic, simple TV.  I'm not the &quot;high definition TV&quot; type, and mostly watch sitcom reruns, occasional baseball games, and the news.<br />The good:<br />1) Its attractive.  Some of the combos I saw had speakers all the way up the side, which I found to be ugly.<br />2) Good DVD player.  It loads discs fast and the TV has a sharp picture with DVDs.<br />3) Convenient A/V connections.<br />4) Compact, relatively light, and less clutter than that associated with an external component.<br />5) Its just soo CHEAP!<br />The BAD:<br />1) Unreadable manual, apparently translated from Portuguese to Japanese, and eventually to some strange, pre-Shakespearian form of English.  Well, maybe not that bad.<br />2) Keeps switching from stereo to mono, and letting you know by flashing the display on the screen for several seconds.  It could just be my reception.<br />3) Total lack of a respectable warranty.  It came to me with a 3 month warranty, and then a year-long parts warranty.  It wouldn't be worth fixing after the 3 months are up.<br />4) No independent DVD controls.  For example, you can't pause the DVD and check the baseball game, or eject the DVD while watching TV.  You HAVE to switch back and forth between DVD and TV to use the functions of each.  And, if you accidentally hit the 'DVD' button, you have to go find where you were.<br />5) Delusional volume controls.  The volume control goes to 70, but it offends the ears after about 14.  Of course, a lot of TVs seem to have this problem.  I would rather it have a lower max volume and allow you to fine tune the volume.<br />I'm mostly nitpicking, and I'm actually quite happy with this TV.  I may have to revise my review if it breaks after the 3-month warranty is up.  I think this is one case where you get more than what you pay for and I would recommend it.<br />Thanks for readingI would recommend it.   <br />Thanks for reading
