1080i not perfect, apparently

I've had this television for coming up on two years now, and we've generally enjoyed it. In fact, I'll go so far as to say we think it's a very good tv. We've had one big glitch, though. For the first year we had the television, we didn't have ...

Plenty of inputs, easy menus from front-panel buttons

TV won't accept valid 1080i signal from all sources

Don't buy this TV

I have had the Zenith C27V22 for a year and a half and it has been nothing but trouble. The picture tube went out after I had it for 4 months. It turns out that the crappie warranty that Zenith offers only covers parts after 3 months. I had to pay all ...

Great picture and lots of connections for components.

See full review. Nothing but trouble. It's a Lemon.

Entry level hdtv

Good deal for the money

Didn't buy this as a main TV, so only needed basic hook-ups. Very pleased with what I got for the money, like the design and "wheelable" weight, and very happy how well it works with rabbit ears.

So You Say You Want a HDTV Revolution? Well, You Know...

Revolution is coming! There is a revolution drawing near, and it will affect nearly everybody in this country. By January of 2006, all broadcast TV will be required to be broadcasting in HDTV. Satellite and cable systems will most likely ...

HDTV ready, lots of inputs, flat screen, price compared to other HDTVs

Heavy, large, price compared to traditional TVs, unknown Zenith quality

Product Specifications

Watch two channels at once on the same TV. Imposes a full color "inset picture" in a corner of the main picture. Digital Comb Filter electronically "combs" the incoming signal. Digital circuitry more accurately controls and separates color (chrome) and picture (luminance) information to increase picture sharpness. Using the universal remote control, users can select between "warm" or "cool" presets to control the ambiance and mood of the picture on the screen. SEQ Front Surround electronically expands the sound listening field, making the stereo audio seem even more separated. Audio is more spacious and three dimensional with increased clarity at any listening level. SEQ simulates the surround experience by adding dramatic impact to stereo programs without the use of additional surround sound speakers. A flatter faceplate on the CRT reduces room light reflection for premium color and contrast with increased viewing angle.
