You get what you pay for

I purchased this unit to replace a previous Audiovox unit that failed after 2 years. While I preferred not to get another Audiovox due to that experience, there are not a lot of alternatives for an undercounter unit. I considered the Sony much too bulky, and the Philips unit only comes with the iPod slot which I don't want and consider annoying, so it's Audiovox again. After 3 weeks, I am satisfied with the unit. It is much sturdier in construction than the previous unit, and the design is sleek and handsome. The controls are well laid out and intuitive. Picture quality is only fair (using an analog cable input), but acceptable. When viewing a DVD, picture is actually very good, but who watches a DVD in the kitchen? Sound quality is also fair, about what I expected at this price (this is NOT a premium sound system).

Installation was easy, but I installed under a cornet cabinet, or it would have been a challenge. Who knows if this unit will last longer than the previous unit's 2 years, but at half the cost of the Sony, it seems worth the risk.

kitchen TV

I am a bit disappointed w/ the quality of the picture--I can't figure out what it is that needs to be tweaked. It also is smaller than I expected--the TV picture does not use the entire screen and I do not think that is adjustable for TV, altho' it may be for DVD which I have not tried. The buttons on the remote are teeny. But since this is more of a background TV for me and I watch it only for short periods of time, it works for me. I have not tried the radio or DVD player--probably never will. I bought it for the TV only, and that is adequate for my purposes.

Disapointed

I ordered the VE927 to replace a smaller Audiovox drop down model that I had in my kitchen for several years and which always worked flawlessly. The earlier model was wall-mountable and I assumed the VE927 would be also. It wasn't. In fact the VE927 is not even VESA compatible. None of the information provided on Amazon indicated that it was not wall-mountable. However, I figured out a way to hang it just like a picture which is functional, but it looks kind of dumb. After about an hour of use, it displayed a "No Signal" message. Even when I hooked it up to another antenna and a cable connection, I got the same message. The DVD and radio functions were OK. I sent it back to Audiovox and they repaired it in a couple weeks. Now, I notice that sometimes the screen will go black with the sound on. When I turn it off and on again it works OK. If you need a wall-mountable kitchen TV I would go with a larger EDTV/HDTV flat screen instead of the VE927. I would avoid Audiovox because of quality problems.

i love it

I love my new audiovox tv.. It was delivered very promptly.. The only problem I had was liviing in a townhouse, getting the cable through and I had to hire an electrician at 250.00... The tv, however and all its features are wonderful...You can adjust the screen to fill it at wide angle or turn it to a portrait angle which does not fill the screen.. I dont mind cooking or cleaning in the kitchen now when my favorite tv program is on and I dont have to run back and forth during commecials. The price at Amazon was the best anywhere!!! Free shipping and no tax...cannot be beat...Picture quality is great and can be altered to fit your preferences. It was fun watching my jpgs on it as a slide show

Great little TV for the $

I love my Audiovox TV! The picture and sound quality are both quite good. It is very conveniently folded away when not in use. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a kitchen TV.
