Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Coby TFTV1923 19-Inch Widescreen LCD HDTV/Monitor with HDMI Input, BlackCustomer Review: Coby TFTV1923 19-Inch Widescreen LCD HDTV/Monitor Summary: 4 Stars
First, let me clarify, why not 5 stars? Simple really, it is advertised as a 19" Widescreen HDTV/Monitor; so I was expecting at least 17" viewable horizontally, and it is only 16". A little picky I suppose, still it was not quite what I expected.
As far as everything else, I am very happy with it, especially considering the low price. The setup menus are easy to access and use via the remote; I found the default settings to be good, and only changed one of them. The picture quality is very good, and the sound is certainly adequate.
As reported in other reviews, the remote is not extremely solid, but I do think adequate, and will probably last longer than some other reviewers think it will (just try not to drop it on the floor too many times!). And yes, it seems you must point the remote rather directly at the screen, and more towards the right side than the left; but this is not all that annoying to me since the unit is located in the kitchen, and I am generally not more than 8-10 feet away anyway.
If you are one of those who like to regularly "channel surf", you will likely be annoyed by the 2-3 seconds it takes to switch channels; since I am not one of those, this again is not very annoying to me.
The tuner sensitivity is better than the HD converter box that I had hooked up to the analog TV that was replaced by this unit, and pulls in a number of more channels. The only interesting thing is that the strongest HD signal in the area does not come in; I suspect it may be too strong and is over-driving the tuner. I may be able to solve that issue with a more expensive indoor amplified HD antenna smart enough to limit an extremly strong signal; but I have not tried that yet.
I did not buy the unit to use as a computer monitor, so I can't say anything about that. Overall though, a very nice little unit for the price.
