Wonderful small screen TV
This Coby 10 inch screen is perfect for my kitchen counter. Takes up so little foot print. True it takes a few seconds before the picture is displayed. The tuner is super – when I select channel 4 (NBC), one channel at a time is shone. There are 4 different channel 4’s – all belonging to NBC. Now I am getting the signal from the air.
Hoped for better
I have been very disappointed in this little TV. I purchased it to replace an analogue TV that I have used in the kitchen for many years. Unfortunately, I inadvertently purchased an outdoor antenna, rather than indoor. Even so, I attached it to the TV and it did make a difference, but I still don’t get even the number of channels I was receiving on the analogue set (the latter with NO antenna).
The picture is bright but I have never been able to adjust the color properly; it looks a little faded and washed out. (I have a large-screen LCD TV in another room and it has a gorgeous picture – but it is hooked up to cable.)
The closed captioning is so small that you have to be within a couple of feet of the set in order to read it.
The sound on mine is definitely tinny and it gets worse as volume increases, making for a very ‘fine line’ between hearing and annoyance!
I hope the channel pick-up will improve when the changeover is made to digital.
If you buy it (and I realize that many people have been happy with it) be sure to get an appropriate antenna if you aren’t hooking up to cable. I’m going to get an indoor antenna and try again, but my expectations are not high.
