Jensen Q2749J 27" Flat Screen TV
A rare TV with PAL playback but short-lived
I bought Jensen 2749 as an after-Thanksgiving special for $199. The lowest price for all 27\\" flat screen TVs. My biggest discovery is not the super low price and very good picture quality but that it has PAL playback function. I have some PAL DVDs and when viewed with my old GE TV, the pictures were black/white. (My pioneer DVD player does not have a PAL-NSTC converter) Now they are with beautiful colors! What a super buy!<br />The TV broke in less than 5 months! When I was watching Boston Marathon, I heard a spark noise from inside the TV and then the picture became foggy with insufficient contrast. Difficult to find service and I would have to pay the labor cost. After some efforts I returned it to the seller and bought a Sony 27 flat. When watching DVDs, the Sony is slightly better but it does not support PAL. When watching TV program (without cable), the Sony is not as good as Jensen.<BR>I hope it will last much longer than my Jensen.
