Amazon.com Product Description

The ultimate in space-saving convenience, Apex's GT2715DV offers everything from DVD playback to digital surround-sound output, MP3 music playback, and compatibility with both JPEG and KODAK Picture CDs for enjoying shots from a digital camera right in your living room. The 27-inch set uses a Pure Flat picture tube, which not only looks cool compared with a conventional, bulbous screen, but also provides a high-quality, high-contrast picture--partly owing to the screen's ability to reduce reflected ambient light. DVD features include fast and slow forward motion, frame-by-frame advance, programmable sequencing, a built-in screen saver, and picture zoom (2x, 4x).

The set provides stereo audio (with 5 watts per channel) from broadcast programming via Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS), which permits broadcasters to encode stereo audio within the video portion of TV programming signals. You can choose between two sets of rear composite- and S-video-equipped AV inputs and a set of front AV inputs for extra convenience. A rear AV output and a coaxial digital-audio output (for Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround sound) let you hook up the set to a surround receiver.

The set also features a trilingual onscreen display (English, Spanish, French), closed-caption display, V-Chip parental control, a sleep timer, auto-off, and a unified remote control.

Don't Waste Your Money.......2006-01-25

I have to agree with many of the other reviews I have seen. I would give the product (and company) zero stars if that was an option.

The TV picture is OK, but the DVD player is almost useless. mine will not even identify that a disc is in it now. I did know that my unit was out of warranty when it brokedown. But I had emailed the company for some troubleshooting suggestions on how to overcome the difficulties with the DVD. They would not even reply to the email.

So I will quickly be replacing this TV/DVD with a brand that works and will never buy an Apex product again.

Garbage. You get what you pay for!.......2005-03-23

I bought this unit because of the price, and learned a lesson... It's worth paying a little extra to buy a reputable brand.

I lost the remote, so I went out and bought a universal remote. Bad move... universal remotes which work with "almost every brand" do not work with this one. So I called Apex, and after paying three times what I would have spent on a universal.... which also doesn't work!

I called their technical support line and was told that they are now aware that their new remote does not work and that their techs are working on the issue and I should "call them back" in a week or two. (And, no, there's nothing they can do in the meantime...)

Since the TV/DVD itself has no "enter" button and no fast-forward or rewind, it's practically useless until/unless they figure out how to get a remote to work with it.

Next time I'll buy from an established, reputable manufacturer.

Great Picture Great Price.......2005-01-05

I read alot of reviews about this tv but many are wrong. I believe that this tv is the best tv I have ever owned. The picture is great, the dvd player does vibrate alittle but onyl when you have a very high graphics dvd (ex. The Matrix). I am actually looking to buy another tv and Apex is the brand I am buying.

Great Value.......2004-09-21

I've only had this TV for a few days, but I purchased it for a rental condo and wanted something inexpensive, but nice. I purchased at a discount store for under $270, with a one year return warranty. From what I've read, I probably should have purchased the extended warranty for another 3 yrs. for $39.

I've knocked off one star because the first time I used a DVD it made a horrible noise. I'm hoping that if it occurs again, it can be fixed by folding a piece of paper and sticking it in the tray joint, as one reviewer said he does. At about 100 lbs., this won't be easy to return. Also, another irsksome issue, no one else seems to have mentioned, is that changing the channels is slower than on most other sets. If you have over a hundred cable channels and surf, this can be annoying. The remote looks cheap and the letters are very small. The menu system works well to auto add cable channels, but selecting and scrolling seemed a bit awkward. This can also be improved.

The most important aspect of the TV, however, is that it does provide a very good picture. I'd put it on par with my Sony or Panasonic Tau. I also wanted a 27"TV that had a smaller foot print than most for my cutom built swivel stand. Although the width is stated as 26.5", the base is more than an inch less, using the same footprint as most 24" and older 25" sets. Having the speakers on the bottom instead of the side helps accomplish this. The speakers also provide good sounds.

Make no mistake about it, however, this TV is not made with the same quaility as major brands, and there will probably be a higher proportion of units that have problems than others. This is evident by the other reviews that indicate various problems. Another concern is that the longevity of this TV may be considerably less than the better brands. Nevertheless, for those of us willing to take a risk to save over $100, it may be worth it, then again...

Never again.......2004-03-29

I would never puchase another item from this company.I purchasd this item back in October and now the dvd part of thie television is not functioning.The company Apex is not honoring their service agreement. The service center thay gave me the number to no longer sevices their products and they have to tried to resolve this matter.I would never have purchased this item if I would have known that

The device works fine. What really blew me away was the helpful and proactive service provided by MicroNet. I didn't have a problem with the device, but did have a problem configuring it to work via Firewire 800 CardBus adapter. MicroNet CALLED the very afternoon I posted an e-mail to their site. And actually CALLED BACK the next day. I never heard from the manufacturer of the Firewire 800 CardBus adapter. I would buy from MicroNet again.

Customer Reviews:

It just stopped working.......2004-09-10

I had it for about six months and was never impressed. The sound was consistently poor and the battery had a short life before needing recharge. After six months it stopped working altogether. It's the last AT&T product I buy for a long time.

Lousy sound and discontinued too!.......2004-08-05

I loved my old Southwestern Bell 25 MHz phone (trimline shape and size, but cordless), but after quite a few years, the buttons were wearing out. I bought this phone after carefully reviewing the reviews, the product description, etc. On paper, this phone looked good, but actually, it was pretty bad. All reception sounded fuzzy, even after two phone calls to AT&T for customer support. All AT&T could offer was to suggest I move closer to the base (I was standing right next to it), unplug my modem (I did and that didn't help), confirm that I wasn't next to a TV tower (I'm at least three miles away from the closest tower), and come up with any other they could think of to prove the problem was me and not the phone. Ultimately, I was told by customer support that something was indeed wrong withthe phone, but this is a discontinued model, they don't repair it and I should return it to the vender from whom I purchase it. So, bottom line, I've returned it and am, once again, looking for a new phone.

Best on market.......2003-08-22

I purchased this phone for $$$$--with a $$$ rebate! It works great throughout the house and even around the yard. AT&T still makes the best telephones. I've tried them all at much higher prices and this one is the best. The battery has a long life and the company will stand behind its product. I'm converting all the phones in my house to this type.

no customer service if it breaks.......2003-06-16

I have owned the phone for one year. The part you speak into went dead. I cannot locate customer service anywhere on internet or at mall. ATT Automatic answering machine hung up on me twice after waiting 2 hours. Not worth the investment. Buy a better phone from another company that has people answering the phone.

Inexpensive, functional.......2003-04-16

originally purchased as a replacement for a corded kitchen phone (so i could use the phone more easily while cooking), this phone is an excellent value as an additional unit around the house (I already have a Panasonic phone/answering system with caller ID, which i like).

the handset has a volume control which comes in handy in the kitchen when the mixer and range hood are both running.

so far the range of this 900MHz unit is good enough anywhere in the house and around the yard.

Amazon.com Product Description

The AT&T 9320 keeps your phone line crisp with 900 MHz transmission and 30-channel autoscan for the clearest connection. The phone features a 10-number memory for frequently dialed friends, a page/handset locator, and compatibility with optional headset and hearing aid. With any key answer, if you're about to miss a call you can just grab the phone and press any button. Perhaps the nicest feature is that the ringer is programmable, letting you customize the sound like many cell phones on the market. The phone is backed by a one-year warranty.
