Tech Talk
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound. What's in the Box

♥♥♥♥♥ |
Certainly decent for what it is
|
I bought mine by auction and find it works well enough as a bedroom TV (you have to be reasonable in your expectations of a 15" screen for a TV). Originally, I intended to use it as both a TV and as a monitor, and I think if I were doing that, I might give it a better rating, as its versatility is handy. The picture seems a bit fuzzy no matter how much I adjust the settings with the remote or physically adjust the tilt, so I have to wonder how well it would do as a monitor.
It is fairly full-featured as a TV, and the remote is lightweight but long enough to accommodate various dedicated buttons and to be found pretty easily when misplaced. I particularly appreciated having a dedicated CC button; I'm actually surprised that I still see TVs in this price range without such a button on the remote. It's attractive, lightweight, and works well as a DVD player so far. I only hooked it up as a monitor once (on a computer I ended up returning), so I only can verify that it does work as one, without being able to evaluate how well.
I wish the volume went up higher; I often work on a computer in another room and like to be able to monitor my shows from here, and I find that difficult with this TV. I find that when I have subtitles on, they sometimes are hard to read from the distance at which I watch the TV (as opposed to closed captions, which I find generally readable on this unit), but that's partly a function of the screen size and the fact that I'm using it as a bedroom TV rather than in a close-range setting, so it's not entirely Audiovox's fault.
Overall, I'm not horribly disappointed and don't feel I wasted all my money. I do wonder whether with enough knowledge I might have been able to search out a better unit with this combination of features, and I'm not sure I'd pay that price again for this unit if there were others out there with better picture. Nonetheless, when one considers the versatility and the elimination of the need for a separate DVD player, it turns out to be a decent deal ... especially if you can get a like-new one at a secondhand price! |
