I thought this looked quite nice, ecspecially at the price. Well price doesn't mean much when you get a piece of furniture in such poor condition upon delivery. There were multiiple chipped and broken off corners, on one section there's a good 4x4 inch section of the cabinet that was just torn right off.If it were not such a hassel to rebox and return, it would have gone back for sure!!! I'm going to have todo the best I can to repair it and make it useable. I'm on overstock every day and have made countless purchases and this is the first time I''ve been disapointed to the point of writing a review.

Overall this TV and DVD player is awesome for a bedroom, kid's playroom, kitchen, or small space. The sound quality is excellent, especially for watching movies on the DVD player.
The picture is very good with the non-HDTV channels, while it is near perfect on the HD channels and watching movies on the DVD player, but you can tell it is 720p.
The 22-inch screen is just right for our bedroom. The TV was easy to setup and it makes a great secondary TV in the house. I have a dish so I do not use the remote that came with the TV, but I did notice that on the TV's remote there is no channel return button (???), which is strange. Of course it does have a lot of options for running the DVD player, which my dish's remote does not have.
Also, I have not really noticed much lag time between changing channels. However, when I turn on the TV there is about a 7 to 10 second warm up I guess, because the screen just stays black even though the light is green indicating that the TV is on.

This is a great product. I compared prices and found Overstock to have the best price. It was easy to install. If you have a screwdriver, drill and wrench you can do it no problem. A level came in handy too but you can install without one.

I bought this converter based off of a lot of research and reviews of the different inexpensive boxes on the market. I thought I was making an informed decision and bought TWO of the Access HD 1080U converters. After using it for only three weeks, one of them broke. It won't read anything and all I get is static. I would recommend buying something else, as I am going to have myself.

This glass TV table is exactly what I was looking for and at a great price. It is well made and a high-quality product. It assembled very quickly and easily. My TV fits extremely well as does my other component pieces.
Excellent choice. I am very pleased with the product and Overstock's stock of items.

I purchased the two major timer event schedulable/programmable converter boxes available as of this date: the Zinwell and the DTVPal Plus (enhanced version of the DTVPal or TR-40 CRA). These are some of the major problems and advantages of each. The biggest problem I have with the Zinwell is that the remote control is the flimsiest and cheapest control I have ever seen with any product. The down arrow button is already having problems responding to pressing after only a few days. It usually takes several years before buttons on a remote control begin to go bad, and I am concerned that this one will not even be working a year from now. The biggest problem with the DTVPal Plus is the poor reception. The Plus is supposed to have enhanced reception over the prior models which were famous for bad reception (and you pay $20 more for the 'enhancement'), but in my area it does not get as many channels as the Zinwell and does not even pick up the local ABC affiliate. Both devices get the clock time

Pros : Attractive Design, Simple Controls, Fast Setup, Good Connection Options, Good color
Cons : Image a little dark when viewed from above or below, Poor Sound, Limited Shadow Detail
Best Uses : Home Gym or secondary TV set.
I set this up in a home gym/guest room, for which it works perfectly.
The Peerless stand, although design-flawed somewhat, works great to get
the screen to a height that can be seen from the elliptical trainer and
then can be re-adjusted to accommodate guests. It is the only stand of
its type that I was able to find.
I think the color was good right out of the box. The movie "Gladiator"
looked deep, contrasty, and colorful just as it was intended to look,
although the blacks don't have quite enough levels. Sometimes it's a
little too dark in the shadows. But overall the colors are true and
vibrant.
It's nice that the TV automatically switches to the DVD player when you
insert a DVD. This TV has excellent side-to-side viewing angles, but not
so great

First the good - You can do a new scan and add it to the existing scan. Now the bad, it only picks up very close and strong stations, switching between stations is very slow, it does not have a program guide, and the remote range is poor on some functions(on/off is ten feet, others maybe up to eighteen feet). I have a sixteen foot amplified rotating antenna which gives me perfect reception from stations 120 miles away in analog, but with this unit I can hardly get some of the stations that are fifty miles away and only some of the time. I have heard that other units have better reception and that the digital signals are weak. Looks like free TV in the US is gone except in or close to major cities. I will be only watching Canadian TV come Feb (No plans for digital in Canada yet).

I purchased this using one of the government coupons to upgrade one of my TV's that does not have a digital tuner built in. The short of it is that it does work; just not as good as I had hoped.
The positive is that the picture using the RCA outputs is good. Almost as good as a decent DVD player. It has an onscreen guide that will show you what is currently on a selected channel as well as what is on for the next few hours. The set up was easy using the onscreen guide and it found all the channels my other digital TV with the built in tuner found.
Now the bad. For some reason it has this kind of high-pitched buzz on every channel. It increases with the volume. It is there with both outputs and is incredibly annoying. It does get hot as noted in other reviews but not so hot as to pose a threat or hazard. The remote is terrible and is not always responsive and the unit takes a minute to boot up.
The bottom line is that this unit would work great for a TV in the kitchen or a guest

The TV in our grandson's bedroom just wore out. We looked for one in the major discount stores but the prices were more than we wanted to spend or they only carried the flat screens. We didn't want a flat panel and besides, the cost was more than we wanted to spend. We have never purchased a TV online before; but the price of this one made us try it. The TV arrived in perfect condition and it does everything that it is needed. We took down the old 13 inch TV off the wall mount and replaced it with this 20 inch one. We are totally pleased with our purchase and our grandson's are enjoying the larger screen while laying in their bunkbeds.

What you see is what you get...and that's all. The spring loaded microphone stand is decent and the microphone clip is very nice. I love the ability to hang your wireless controllers on the stand and even use one of the extra controller clips to hang my guitar (by the strap). I have one major complaint which keeps this product from rating five stars: nobody sells additional controller clips. You receive three clips, one for each major console system (xbox 360, PS3 and wii). If you're like me and only want one microphone stand, but would like to hang all your controllers on it, you're out of luck.
So if anyone here purchases this stand and doesn't have an xbox, I'd love to trade off my extra PS3/wii clips for your xbox clip. You can contact me at "gaines[at]kergosien[dot]net".

My husband and I looked for a mounting bracket using the search criteria for our TV on Overstock. This mounting bracket came up as the match. It is absolutely perfect. We were a little intimidated just thinking about hanging our huge, heavy TV on the brick over our fireplact but the directions that came with this bracket discussed mounting it on studs, concrete and brick, so we were covered. It even came with all of the hardward for any one of those applications. We are very pleased with the sturdiness, the ease of putting it up and with the value. We found brackets of similar quality locally for twice even three times as much. Thanks O.

This is just what it said and is just what it gets. Ok, now for the bad. The shipping was on time but horrible. It came in a box three times its size and the box was opened, battered, and looked like it has been through nuclear fallout although, the actual product was intact and in its original packaging. The plastic things that hold the controllers are flimsy and break too easily. I managed to break my controller holders on day two of having this product. All in all, it is not a bad product, sturdy, metal, and a heck of a lot of fun to play with. Madcatz just need to iron out the little things.

It all depends on your location and what type of antenna you have. That's all it boils down to. I live on the far southside of Indianapolis, IN. This picked up 19 channels on my first scan, then I repositioned my indoor powered rabbit ears and it scanned an additional 3 channels. Sadly, all religious channels I don't care about, and I was hoping to receive WISH-TV Channel 8. I could also not receive Channel 8 on the Magnavox box I tried and returned. Maybe the reason is Channel 8 is on VHF and the others I receive OK are all UHF channels. Nevertheless, I will be trying other antennae but not an outdoor type since I live in a condo. I have Dish Network for my other channels but pick up the locals (or try to) for free.
On the upside, this converter box can be used flat or on its side. The signal strength meter is very helpful in positioning your indoor antenna. And if you buy the Smart Antenna which has recently come out, this box works with that too. The remote has large buttons

Got one of these using my coupon and it was defective out of the box - no picture and no sound. The company customer service is a joke - phone off the hook when they are suppose to be open and their web site doesn't allow you to send an email. This is a rip off company that is just trying to get the coupons and run. Don't waste your time or coupon. It does get very hot and if left plugged in, it is a fire hazzard.

I went out and picked up this beast from the local drug store using my government coupon to save some bucks.
It does work well, even giving me several channels I didn't have before... some cool features as well and easy to set up.
BUT...
It gets burning hot!!!!!!!
The first night the screen started glitching badly and I went over to play with the converter box. BURNING MFing HOTTT!!!!!!!!!
These idiots put the ventilation holes on the bottom! I've had to flip it upside down for better cooling to get it to be reliable.
It doesn't have an auto off like some other units; thus to avoid burning down my apartment building I have to turn it off manually when I leave the home.
Get a brand you've heard of.

It's almost really good, the only problem it has is if using more than a few hours straight, it will get hot and overheat, so the power will shut off by itself, you gotta turn on power again to watch. Other than that, everything is good, it's really clear HD picture quality, better than my Direct TV channels. The best converter box is Zenith for $59.99, you gotta pay $20 after the government coupon discount.

I bought this camera for the pan/tilt feature, but I found out that it does not work with well with Vista. I also thought the video would be as good as the TV-IP110W fixed wireless camera, but it is not. I am an IT guy and I have used several cameras and this is one of the worst I have ever used. I do wish Trendnet would get their act together and make a pan/tilt wireless with a high quality video sensor. Their other products are much better than this one. Buyer BEWARE....

This mount is worth every penny, it is very sturdy and versatile. It takes two people to mount the TV to the wall, so don't try to do it yourself alone

Okay, so this is a microphone stand. Plain and simple. The clips to hold controller are very useful, and the clip actually holds some older video game USB microphones, unlike other mic stands. The stand is made of plastic with mostly plastic connnections, which means that you can't get the adjustable parts as tight as you'd like. The main adjuster requires two hands on the lower part of the stand to tighten adequately, so if you go the wrong way, the mic will slide down and you'll have to reposition. If you want to hold the mic while you sing on the stand, it may slide down even when fully tightened. Also, the screw on the mic clip is loose, so expect to tighten it before you play with a Phillips head screwdriver. The clip is removable, so you could put it on a real mic stand if this one ever breaks. The major design flaw is that the controller clip for Xbox 360 does not let you hook up a plug and play charger to it while it's clipped on. So while I'd have loved to use this time
