Coby TFTV1524 15-Inch Widescreen LCD HDTV/Monitor Review

Coby TFTV1524 15-Inch Widescreen LCD HDTV/Monitor Review from jazmaan. You get what you pay for — buyer beware!, The screen on this “TV” is highly prone to glare and ambient light reflections. Worse than that, the viewing angle is so limited that moving your eyes off axis just a foot or two (whether up or down or side to side) will cause the picture to go negative like it was shot in infrared. To add insult to injury, the included stand is not capable of tilting to a downward angle, so you can’t place the TV higher than your eye level without getting the “negative” effect.
But the real insult is that the TV will NOT respond to any other manufacturer’s remote control. If you’ve got a Verizon Set Top Box, there is no way to control the Coby with your Verizon remote. None of the remote codes work. Do a Google search on “Coby TV” and “Remote Code” and you’ll learn what I wish I’d known before I bought this cheap piece of junk. You’re stuck with using the ugly little grey remote that came with the Coby and if you lose that then you’re screwed. If you have a STB, that means it takes two different remotes to turn your TV on and off and control its volume, while your STB remote changes channels. How retro is that?
So don’t be penny foolish. Cough up the extra dough and buy a better TV than this COBY.
