(More customer reviews)Since I am the chief cook in the family, I use this TV in the kitchen. It is better than not being able to watch Iron Chef at all while I am chained to the stove, but not by much. I guess you get (at best) what you pay for. The first problem was the mounting template. It was inaccurate and didn't match the screw holes in the TV. To add insult to injury, the mounting screws are VERY fine thread; hard to start unless perfectly aligned, and easy to cross-thread. Once I finally got it mounted, the disappointment continued. It is impossible to set the brightness and contrast and forget it. If you set it so a given channel and program is watchable, odds are it will be washed out or too dark on the next channel, or even the next program on the same channel. By default, the TV comes on in the wide (16:9 aspect ratio) mode. Since 90% of programming is still in the 4:3 mode, you have to change it almost every time you turn it on. The remote requires that you press the "OK" button after entering the channnel number if it less than 100 - the TV is not smart enought to figure out that 027 means channel 27. The remote also uses an expensive and short-lived "button" battery, similar to a watch battery. Sound quality is on a par with a $9.95 portable radio, which pretty much makes the built-in AM/FM radio useless for listening to music. Bottom line: a big disappointment, even at a low price.
