I love this little TV/Monitor - I use it for a TV in my RV. So far I have only used it hooked up to cable but I am buying an antenna for it (also sold here on Amazon.com). This is a sharp looking TV and easy to take along! Picture is great and the features were easy to use. It's even better than I expected! I guess I envisioned a 13" screen as tiny but I was pleasantly surprised at how nice of a view you get on the actual TV screen also! Everyone who sees it comments about how cool it looks.

I bought this to view my security cameras so the picture quality was not that important. That was good because the picture quality was very low. It did not matter much because the TV failed after just 35 days of 10 hours a day of operation. And of course the warranty was only for 90 days. Coby will not return my emails or calls. Do not waste your money.

I bought this TV to replace another 10-inch TV. Screen seems smaller than previous set. Picture is very clear....audio OK. Number/letters (sleep-timer/Vol. etc.) are teeny-tiny.

Overall O-K.

As there is virtually no competition on the market for a TV of this size, I purchased the Coby unit not expecting very much. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. Sure, the picture quality is only so-so (and what would you expect from a TV of this size?), but it has features that rival those of larger TV's from major manufacturers. The menu system is quite comprehensive and allows you to tweak video and audio settings, plus you get inputs for a PC (as if anyone would use such a small screen for this purpose), but it was a pleasant surpirse. I just can't understand why this TV has such a HUGE bezel, however. A smaller footprint would seem to make more sense, since most people would probably buy this unit (as I did) to put in a tight space such as a kitchen counter or bookshelf.
I've has this TV for several months now and it gets more use than I originally thought it would get. Adequate picture quality, reliable performance, and a full-size remote control to boot!

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.
