Amazon.com Product Description

Perfect for watching your favorite standard and high-definition TV programs, the 30-inch Astar LTV-3001 HD-ready LCD TV can also double as a PC monitor. The LTV-3001 features sleekly modern lines and a table stand, and it also includes wall-mounting hardware. It features a built-in, 216-channel CATV/NTSC tuner and can receive high-definition (ATSC) broadcasts from an optional HD tuner. It also pumps out great sound from the two side-mounted speakers that provide 10 watts per channel (20 watts total power)

This set has a 16:9 aspect ratio that's great for high-defintion television programming and widescreen movies, and is capable of displaying 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i video formats. It features an 1280 by 768-pixel resolution, 170-degreee viewing angle, fast 16 ms (millisecond) video response rate, 550 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and 600:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.)

The 2D Y/C comb filter helps to improve detail, clean up image outlines, and eliminate extraneous colors. This set also performs 3:2 pulldown detection--a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate picture. Other features include a sleep timer, picture freeze, PC picture-in-picture, multiple-language on-screen display, V-Chip parental controls, closed captioning, MTS/SAP stereo output, and auto power shutdown. It offers the following video and audio connections:

Composite AV (RCA) In: 2
S-Video In: 1
Component Video In (Y PB PR): 2
DVI In: 1
RF In: 1
VGA PC input: 1
PC Audio In: 1

Got less than what I paid for..........2007-03-24

I purchased this TV April 2006, I had no problems until December of 2006. The TV would lose its picture and sound almost every day. I contacted the manufacturer, they said the TV was still covered under warranty. They told me to bring it to one of their authorized repair shops, the only one was over 30 miles away, I asked if I could ship it back to the manufacturer, and was told no. My TV has been in the shop for over 3 months, ASTAR keeps sending the wrong parts to the repair shop, and will not provide them with any support. I contact ASTAR weekly to find out what they are doing about my TV, I just get the run around. ASTAR has made no effort to back their product. Their customer service department seems non-existent.

I recommend buying a brand name product... and so did the TV repair shop!!

Good tv for the price.......2006-05-18

I bought this tv elsewhere for a cheaper price, but just had to come and give it a good review. The only thing about the cheap price is the low black quality but really it doesn't make a huge difference. It's qualitly is excellent and the tv itself is just beautiful.

Great bang for your buck, and no problems yet!.......2006-04-28

I managed to find this TV for less than $700, and while it is certainly not as good as a $1500+ Aquos LCD TV, I don't think it's worth the $800 price difference. Like the previous revewer said, I cannot see any particular reason this is so cheap, it is built sturdy, and has all the typical inputs and features of other LCD TV's of this size.

The only problem I have see nso far, is that black levels are not good on this , even for an LCD TV (I have 2 other LCD TV's so I have a good basis for comparison here). Although proper tuning of the settings does alleviate this somewhat (mostly with the gamma corrections setting, plus for me, making it a little BRIGHTER seemed to help).

Also, if you leave the backlight switch on, but not the TV itself, there is a small whine that can be heard. It's close to inaudible, just sound sound of the TV on at mute drowns it out (it's very, very soft), but I suppose it could be annoying to some. My simple solution, turn the backlight switch off when you are done watching it (which you are supposed to do anyway).

Good value, good design, decent HDTV image.......2006-02-02

If you've decided on an LCD HDTV, this unit has a cool design and no evident shortcomings to explain its low price. The disadvantages of this unit are similar to those of LCD TVs in general -- black levels are not as good as CRT, plasma, or some projection TVs. Fine details in dark scenes can be washed out in a field of dark gray. At the lowest brightness and backlight levels (which are separately controllable), true black can still not be obtained (and at those settings other scenes will be too dark). Bright scenes, however, look fantastic with excellent detail and color reproduction. For most viewers, the black level issue should be only an occasional annoyance, if that.

Screen proportions can also be changed easily with a button on the remote, allowing you to optimize screen fill for standard vs. HD broadcasts, or wide-screen vs. standard-view DVDs. The design of this unit is unique and pretty cool. The speakers are mounted on a glass plate that surrounds the base unit. The unit also has a removable steel plate on the back that can be used to do a simple flush wall-mount (it's not a swiveling or adjustable wall mount unit, like those often sold separately).

In five years, improved flat screen display technologies will probably make you want to replace this unit and move it to a bedroom. But for those who want an HDTV today, this unit offers an excellent combination of quality and price.

Good value for many features.......2002-02-07

I've been a consumer of Aiwa portable "walkman's" since 1981. Back then the cabinets were made of steel and the units were quite rugged but pricey. A few years ago I tried an Aiwa walkman but returned it because the volume was too weak.

This walkman is loud enough with very little distortion. It has good stereo separation and sufficient bass enhancement for a pleasing sound quality. I was surprised at the sensitivity of the FM tuner. I live in a rural area and can reliably pick up about three stations clearly. This walkman tuned in about double that number quite well.

The feature I most desired in this low-priced unit is the auto reverse. My only suggestion would be to add a button to change the direction of the tape. As it is now it is necessary to flip a direction switch which is a bit cumbersome in my opinion.

I am satisfied with this walkman and recommend it.

NO.....JUST NO!.......2003-04-07

This is the WORST printer I have EVER owned. If you are considering buying it...you're better off stabbing yourself in the eye. It is NEVER reliable and RARELY works properly. It has to be THE shoddiest printer ever made. Honestly, I only gave it one star because I had no other choice.

Don't bother getting an Apollo.......2002-08-24

This printer, really an HP, is terrible! It cannot print envelopes at all and regularly jams. I think HP is not the way to go anymore, as their quaility has deteriorated over the years.

Horrible.......2007-09-10

I've had these speakers for two days and have yet to pick up anything even closely resembling good quality sound. Mostly static with bits of music here and there. Don't waste your money.

Clear and Pleasant Sound.......2007-09-09

Bought for my inlaws to set on tables close to TV viewing chairs so TV sound could be heard without blasting the TV volume. The Avent wireless pair work great, sound is now much lower and fidelity is much improved. Only problem is they have lost the TV mute feature. No big complaint as the advantages out weigh that disadvanage. Everything sounds good, from the crack of the bat while watching Angle Baseball to classical background music. Set up was very easy as the red pilot light turns green as the speaker is tuned to the matching sender frequency, like tuning in a radio station. Very good product at a fair price.

Really fine sound from a wireless set. a bit hard to get the frequency set but after that they are awesome

Advent AW820 Wireless Speakers.......2007-02-16

These speakers have good sound quality, excellent battery life and are easy to install.

My experience has been good.......2006-12-25

I know that there are very mixed reviews for this product. A couple of points -- I've generally found that when the speakers are having a problem, it's something that I hadn't considered -- like something lying on the speakers' power cords, etc. Most important -- keep in mind that the transmiter has it's own frequency adjustment, so if you're adjusting the speakers and can't get them to sound right, try adjusting the frequency on the transmitter, and then readjusting the speakers. Yes, the power supplies on the speakers are huge. And I've only tried them to a distance of about 75 feet, all on the same floor. But overall, I like the sound, and it beats stringing cable. Note: Mine have never broken, but it sounds like others have had problems with service. I've had mine for several years, and so far, so good.
