I bought this to receive over air HDTV with just antenna-no cable or dish.
In St Paul MN I can get 25 digital stations. I have 2 other HDTVs and this one has the best reception. You need the right antenna though. This one works great indoors- Antennas Direct DB2 Multi Directional HDTV Antenna and its available on amazon. The DVD player woks great too. It plays DVDs my other player cant read.

This TV is awesome. I bought the TV for my teenage son for Christmas. Not only does it have a great picture it also has all the built-ins. The DVD player cleans up a least one piece of extra equipment, the screen is also a computer monitor and a digital photo player. I will be purchasing another one for my husband and I. FAVI has been a great company to work with. They have great communication and tried their best to get the TV to me prior to Christmas.

The favi 19 inch tv is great!! The sound quality is excellent. We placed the tv in our sunroom and the screen readily adapts to bright light. It conveniently contains a dvd player , card reader and usb port for viewing photos on our camera. The company offers great support and communication.Will consider buying a bigger one in the future to replace other tvs. It is truly the best.

I had recently ordered a favi TV and I love it! I love the attached dvd player. The picture very clear and the stylish design. Overall I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it to anyone.

This is an inexpensive integrated DVD and 19-inch LCD HDTV. So I wasn't expecting the best quality.

With default "middle" settings, the colors are washed out and too bright. Also, faces appear a little too pink. I fiddled with the brightness, contrast, color and tint settings and found a reasonable compromise. Not great but OK.

The volume of the TV and DVD are quite different. The DVD at 100% is about the same as the TV at 50%. When on my treadmill I have the TV set at about 80% (turning it up any further seems to have little additional increase in perceived volume). It's just barely enough to hear. The DVD is hopeless even at 100% and will not overcome the volume of the treadmill at all. This issue is common for sets of this size, so I wouldn't consider this a unique issue.

The volume for playing CDs has he same issue. The audio quality playing CDs is absolutely horrid: tinny and compressed. Even with headphones.

Functionally I don't like the way the DVD works versus the TV. It would be nice if I could bounce between the two at whim and pick up where I left off. Unfortunately, switching to a non-DVD function basically turns off the DVD completely, so when you come back to it, you are starting over and have to scan your way back to where you think you left off.

Channel switching with digital channels is an issue. This works OK but sometimes there's a delay. It works best in analog channels, with fairly little delay. But in digital channels it can get really fussy. You go up channel by one and you can wait a few seconds before you finally get signal. If there is no signal, or not a perceivable one, switching to the next good channel or typing it in can take forever. A solid minute before the set becomes responsive. Pretty bad. Not sure what causes that.

For aesthetics, I would prefer the cable connect below rather than the side. Coax cables are fairly stiff and need room to bend, so it looks rather ugly hanging out the side of the TV to give it room to make it's way around.

UNBELIEVABLE! I left an objective review on Favi's website where they had a couple of very positive reviews of he product. I wrote exactly what was working well and what wasn't. It was up for about a day, then they removed it! They are biasing the reviews on their site. No email or anything from their support department. I provided all my contact info.

I will NEVER buy another Favi or recommend them to anyone.
