Amazon.com Product Description

Mintek's graceful, slim, and lightweight DTV-233 combination 23-inch widescreen LCD TV and full-function DVD player is suitable for placement anywhere in your home or office. DVDs slide easily into a side slot for space-efficient integration. Just 3.4 inches thick without its stand, you can even mount the DTV-233 on the wall, picture-style, using an optional wall-mount bracket. It's suitable for use as a PC monitor, too.

All DVD functions are accessible via the supplied remote control, and the unit plays DVD-Video, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3 CD, MPEG-4 video, and JPEG digital photos stored on recordable CD. A combination SD (SecureDigital), MMC (MultiMediaCard), and Memory Stick memory-card reader is perfect for viewing your digital photos fresh out of your camera and right on the TV screen.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (with no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be cheaper and, to some eyes, slightly more natural looking than their plasma flat-panel counterparts, which usually "spec" higher (higher brightness, higher contrast ratio).

The set offers 1,280 x 768 native pixel resolution with impressive ratings for both contrast (450:1) and brightness (450 cd/m2). Its wide-angle clarity extends 176 degrees vertically and horizontally, so the screen is easy to see from just about anywhere in the room. Mintek's Digital Pure Video Engine analyzes audio/video signals and ensures that the display reaches high-definition levels fast while addressing 6 key aspects of video: detail, color, contrast, dynamic (response time), brightness, and levels of shading.

The set's stereo speakers are driven by an ample 6 watts each. Connections include 1 each composite-video, high-definition component-video, coaxial RF, and VGA PC (15-pin D-Sub). The set also includes a USB interface for a direct digital connection with your digital camera and digital camcorder.

What's in the Box
TV/DVD player with detachable stand, a remote control, remote batteries, and a user's manual.

Nice TV BUT..........2007-07-07

I have had this TV/DVD Player for about 1 1/2 years. Overall, it is a great TV...BUT...when i started having a problem with the DVD player, their first point contacts in Customer Service were nice & helpful...BUT...then when they couldn't help me anymore, they referred me to someone who could get it fixed or replaced for a fee (not covered under warranty anymore). THIS PERSON NEVER RETURNED ANY ONE OF THE 6 CALLS I LEFT...WHY???

Let me make sure that you know, it is a good TV & very functional except that you can't really change out the remote since most other remotes are not compatible with Mintek...BUT...i like the TV, it's just a shame that right now it is just sitting in my garage collecting dust.

No Customer Service .......2007-05-29

DVD stopped working a week after warranty was up. No one ever answered the customer service line. Do not buy this TV....it is a waste of money; spend the extra money and buy one from a known brand with a customer service department

Poor service, poor quality.......2005-12-23

This is the worst TV I have ever purchased in my life. Without using the remote, the unit goes into overdrive searching for the source it prefers -- tv, dvd, pc, etc. -- and you cannot watch television. When I have called to get help with this, I have been thwarted at every step. I would recommend that no one buys anything from this company.

what a great hdtv.......2005-10-16

I love it. I don't have the problem with the remote like other people. I do not use a universal remote. Its great. When I stick in a DVD, it turns off the TV tuner by itself. I can turn off the unit in the middle of a DVD and the next day, I can pick up on the DVD right where I left it just by turning it on. Very simple. Color and picture are great. Price is great. Have had no problems.

Defective.......2005-06-04

I ordered this tv but I had to return it the next day because it was defective. It wouldn't give me about a dozen of my channels. Instead it just flashed the picture, then turned all white with an asterisk showing on the side, and kept alternating between those two things. It was unwatchable.

I tried having it redo the channel search again. I noticed that when I clicked the up and down arrows, all those channels were skipped. It still didn't work.

I then plugged the cable wire into my old tv and it worked fine.

Another complaint that I have with this tv is that there were horizontal lines going up the screen. The instruction manual says that may happen if you have a radio in the room, not turned on, just in the room. Who doesn't have a radio in the room? My other tv doesn't have that problem.

Another complaint I have with this tv is that it foreshortened the faces on the screen. I changed a certain setting from "fill the screen" to "normal" and it seemed to fix that problem. It seems that it was stretching the window sideways, making everyone's head look wide and short. Then when I turned on the tv later, all the faces were foreshortened again. Sure enough, the tv had reset itself to "fill the screen". I changed it back and it seemed fine.

When I gave up on the tv, because of its inability to receive a lot of channels, I turned on my old tv and I appreciated the picture quality of the Mintek more. My old tv's picture really didn't look as good as the Mintek did. It makes me realize how artificial all these images are. We tend to think of them as being accurate but they are not.

I don't have high definition cable. I just have regular cable. That may have something to do with it. Maybe HDTV would at least get rid of the horizontal lines going up the screen.

I give Amazon 5 stars. I packed up the box, taped it up, brought it to a UPS store, and Amazon paid the postage and all. Amazon is giving me a full refund. I highly recommend shopping with Amazon. I have bought dozens of books and records, and various other things, through Amazon, and I have always been so pleased with the service that my first reaction is to buy everything on Amazon.

Later ...

Revisiting this review, I see that someone gave my review a Thumbs Down. What idiot would do that? My tv was defective. It didn't pull in all the channels. Isn't this supposed to be a place where we share our experiences with the products we buy on Amazon? What kind of moron would give this report a Thumbs Down? My tv was defective, I'm telling you so, and I get booed for letting you know? Maybe the negative reviewer is a Mintek employee hired to occasionally scan the Amazon reviews. Something similar happened to me on Epinions when Delta Airlines let me down, and a Delta employee actually was hired to scan the Epinions reviews and defend his company.

IR Remote did not work at all for Zen Media Center.......2005-06-20

I ordered this item in the expectation that it would make MP3 listening and other tasks much more convenient when the Zen Media center is hooked up to my home theater receiver. Unfortunately, it did not work at all. The remote would not operate any function whatsoever on the Creative Zen Media Center. I checked the new battery in the new remote, which I ordered right here on Amazon.com and the battery was fine. I then emailed Creative customer support and they suggested that I update the firmware for my Zen Media Center. I did this and in the process lost all of my media on the Zen. With that update completed, I still had no control of the Media Center with the new IR remote. More emails and more frustration brought no more information unfortunately and Creative suggested that I return the remote to my dealer (Amazon). Amazon handled the return with no problem and promised a replacement. Unfortunately, Amazon no longer stocks the item and they never sent me a new remote to replace my return, so I guess I will never know if that was a defective remote or if the Zen Media Center is just not compatible. All in all not a great experience.

missing button.......2005-01-13

This product is great if you have a creative zen media center, all the navigation buttons are there except for the on/off buton which should be there since it would help if you are far away from the zen. Except for that, it is a great product

How many pictures will it store?.......2004-11-06

How many pictures will it store? It is the most commonly asked question from digital camera enthusiast but usually the question that is the most difficult to get a straight answer about. Well, considering I worked in the memory industry for over 7 years I can help clarify this perplexing question and do so unbiased as I have since changed industries.

The Fujifilm 64MB CompactFlash Card, like most 64MB cards, will store on average 71 pictures when used with a 2 megapixel camera, 53 images when used with a 3 megapixel camera, 32 pictures when used with a 4 megapixel camera, 25 images when used with a 5 megapixel camera, and 20 pictures when used with a 6 megapixel camera. These numbers are based off the assumption that you are going to shoot your images at the highest quality JPEG setting available for the camera and understand that they are estimates and may be off by as much as 10 percent due to numerous factors including the complexity of the scene being shot and the compression algorithm used by your specific camera.

I truly hope this review was helpful to you in determining whether this card is the right capacity for your specific needs.

Shutter speed to slow for camera.......2003-06-29

Good binoculars, poor camera. The camera takes all pictures at 1/30 of a second at f2.8, which is too slow for the magnification of the lens. The pictures are soft,dull and without a tripod mount fuzzy. Mine is going back...
