Bad product at high price tag

I bought the TV in 2005. In 2006 the remote went bad, I waited 6 weeks for the extended warranty company to send me a new remote. The remote died again 2 weeks ago. Without coverage it would be cheaper to scrap the TV than to fix it. All in all a very...

power problems

The picture and features are good, and I like the fact that the tv is easy to move around because it is very light. It's a good deal if you can get one that has no problem

Great Television

The stats on the NewEgg page are slightly off. The user manual and box it comes in states a 1000:1 contrast ratio and 1366x768 resolution. Televisions at Best Buy / Circuit City with the same specifications cost several hundred dollars more. Overall an...

Great picture and as others have said, best with digital sources. The speakers work surprisingly well and the built in SRS feature does quite nicely. HD channels on my digital cable service look fantastic, especially sports. Lots of input options and...

Quality of the remote control leaves a bit to be desired. For the price and quality of the television itself this is a small complaint

Fine and dandy

Looks good and sounds good. The menu used for programing and set-up is poor and not user friendly even for this Telecommunications carreer man. Regardless, we are pleased with the product so far.

AOC 27" LCD TV A27W221

Great picture! It looks best when using a digital source (DVD, HDTV reciever, Xbox 360)Sound is pretty decent as well, the on screen menus are realy well done, PIP feature is an added bonus along with being able to display anything from 480p-1080i

Non-digital sources suffer a little with the picture becoming blurry on some stations
