Sound shortcomings

(3 out of 5) by Ben Graham on Feb 20, 2004 (New York, NY United States)
This TV is a decent device but a little overpriced for what you get.

My number one gripe with this TV has to do with the sound quality. The standard built-in speaker does not offer the clarity and crispness of the ordinary 10 year-old tube TV that it replaced.

The other annoyance has to do with the short muscial tone it plays every time the TV is turned on or off. It gets old fast.

My third peeve is with the monitor's on/off indicator light. When the TV is turned off, a red LED light glows red, and when the TV is on, the LED light disappears which is the total opposite way that I would have designed it to function.

On other hand, the picture quality for regular cable-TV channels/broadcast TV is good to very good, depending on the channel.

The HDTV option is a little awkward to work and not worth the trouble due to the limited number of HDTV channels available in NYC.

Bottom line, is I love the thinness of the TV but the speaker system needs improvement.
