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.

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.

Panasonic's KX-TG5242BP telephone system, consisting of the KX-TG5240M base station with one handset and one additional KX-TGA520M handset and charging cradle, utilizes the 5.8 GHz band and digital frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology for increased call security and range and for less interference. Just plug in the additional handset's AC charging cradle and the system is ready for use--allowing individual telephone access even in rooms without telephone jacks. It can accommodate up to four handsets in total.

Compatible with Caller ID/call waiting, this package offers a 50-station caller ID memory and dialer, accessible through the handsets' three-line backlit LCD. It also features talking caller ID, which audibly announces who's calling through the handset and base speakerphones. Rounding out the base station's features are an integrated digital answering system and a light-up antenna on the handset that flashes to alert you to new calls and messages. The handsets also offer a variety of ring tones and melodies to choose from.

The KX-TG5240M allows you to pre-program frequently called numbers, even for chain dialing (ideal for calling automated systems that require a series of numeric inputs). It's also Caller IQ compatible, a service provides updates on weather, sports, horoscopes, and more; the information is sent directly to your telephone and displayed on the handset screen. (Caller ID and call waiting require subscription through your phone company. Caller IQ is a fee based service that requires registration.)

What's in the Box
KX-TG5240M base unit and handset, one KX-TGA520M handset and charging cradle, AC power adapters, phone line cord, belt clips, NiMH battery packs, user guide, warranty information

KX-TG5240M fulfills promise of outstanding value! .......2007-01-30

The handsets, both base and expandable units work together with the smothness and precision of a Swiss watch. I am impressed with the many features of this system. Sound quality, ringtones, 3 difference boxes for the calls to be answered, speakerphone on base and handsets and talking caller ID to name a few of the features that sold me on this product. Purchasing this system at the current price was definately a steal.

Does not work wtih Palm OS 5.......2003-05-31

The add should be clearer. I had High hopes on using this camera with my new Sony PEG TG-50 but after installing it, getting errors & going through 2 round of questions with Sony support I was told that the camera does not work with the Palm OS 5. A real disappointment for those who bought the TG-50 or are thinking about upgrading to the newest Palm OS.

What a cool gadget!.......2002-04-12

My Clie camera arrived today, after a long wait. What a cool thing it is! Install the software on your computer, sync it to the Clie, then pop the camera into the slot. First thing you see is yourself staring back at you! I can't believe it works that easily, but it does. Then it's just a matter of clicking to snap a shot. You can even press the jog dial to snap a photo. You can swivel the camera lens around the other way and the image gets flipped over too - it's just that smart! I plan on using this to snap pictures of my collectibles, associate them with the appropriate entry in my database of collectibles that I have in the Clie, so when I'm out on the road I know what I have and what I want. It's useful for that, and also for showing off to your friends!

Great LCD, too bright at first.......2006-06-06

Got this LCD last night from BestBuy for $200. I love the crisp images but it was way too bright for my taste at first. Everything is fine now after I messed around with the settings. At first I had some 1/4 inch wide lines on the right side of the screen flikering up and down the right side. The keep coming and going. Any ideas anyone as to what these are ? Maybe it is my video card but I dont konw.

Bought the monitor...then read the reviews!.......2006-04-28

Saw a Staples ad for a different monitor. While looking at it an employee directed me to this one, larger and cheaper than the one I went for! I'm thrilled with it! Only after installing it did I bother to check out the reviews, and again I'm thrilled. I stumbled on a great monitor and got a fabulous deal...only [...] after all rebates!!!!!!!

GREAT Monitor at a GREATER Price!.......2006-01-15

I bought TWO of these monitors on Black Friday for $200 each (after rebates) and what a great investment! Both monitors display images and text that are crisp and bright. I noticed one monitor was flickering or shimmering, only to discover that I had a bad graphics card. After replacing the graphics card, it worked beautifully. If you are having trouble with shimmering or what they call "incorrect PHASING", try another graphics card on another computer; this may help solve the problem.

WORTH EVERY CENT!!.......2006-01-11

HAD THIS BEAUTY FOR A MONTH NOW & REALLY LOVE IT!! GREAT PICTURE, GREAT COLOR (JUST USING THE ADJUSTMENTS ON THE MONITOR ITSELF) & GREAT PRICE. AND GOING FROM A BIG, BULKY 17" CRT TO THIS ONE IS NOTHING SHORT OF THRILLING!! ONLY DOWN-SIDE IS ONE DEAD PIXEL....NO EXCUSE FOR THAT AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED....SAMSUNG NEEDS TO PAY CLOSER ATTENTION TO QUALITY CONTROL. THEN, AGAIN, ONE PIXEL AIN'T THE END OF THE WORLD. FOR ANYONE CONSIDERING THIS MONITOR ALSO CONSIDER THE 930 MODEL....FOR AROUND $30 MORE (DEPENDING ON REBATES) YOU GET EVEN BETTER FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS & WHO DOESN'T LOVE GETTING THE MOST THEY CAN FOR THEIR MONEY. IF YOU CAN GET THIS MONITOR FOR $300 OR LESS (THRU SALES & REBATES) DON'T HESITATE.... YOU'LL BE GETTING A MONITOR FAR SUPERIOR TO OTHERS IN THAT PRICE RANGE.

Very nice for the price.......2005-12-21

I just picked this up to replace my 17 inch CRT. This is a very nice monitor for the price and it comes with a 3 year warranty. After rebates the total cost was around $229 so not bad at all.

Like other reviews, when I first powered up the monitor my eyes started to hurt due to the brightness. I tried to adjust several times and it helped but still was a little too bright. If you turned the brightness down to much then white web page backgrounds looked a little blue.

I took the advice of another reviewer and installed the two programs on the included cd. The one that helped the most is MagicTune. You can adjust the monitors settings from the software and it has recommended settings based on what you use the pc the most for. I picked the internet setting as that is what I was having the most problems with in regards to the brightness. After that adjustment the monitor seems much better and my eyes don't hurt anymore.

If you are looking or a nice 19 inch but don't need very fast refresh rates for gamming than this monitor is a good buy. Check around and see if you can find a good deal. If not then there might be better monitors out there for the regular offered price.

Outstanding Merchandise.......2001-09-24

I enter this sight just for gk (general knowledge) of a product that we recently purchased. I was very impressed with information that was available to me at a push of a button. Everything was very easy to find. My 2 years old niece could of looked it up if I had asked her to. This is what I like in a sight something that is simple and easy to get in and get out of. I must compliment everyone who is involved with making Amazon such a terrific sight with alot of on hand information at a touch of a button. I going to make this review as short as possible and again I would like to Thank You... Keep up the good work!!!!!! You guys deserve 5 stars (*****)

Low level battery time.......2000-05-01

This camcorder is fantatic in all that it does. Light and surprising clarity of output. The only disadvantage is that you only get a 30 minute battery and 30 minute video cassette. Having to stop and charge your battery every thirty minutes could tend to be a bothersome bore. I have called to get another battery but RCA don't sell any batteries past 30 minutes. Other then that. The cam is easy to use and you can put video characters while you are recording.

For the deal of the century (so far), look no further!.......2000-04-21

I feel obligated to write a review for this perfect device because everyone should be able to profit from it like I did. I was looking for a camcorder, but I did not want to spend a fortune for one. One of my best friends recently purchased a RCA CC6151 and was raving about it. He's pretty reliable, so I bought one. Why should you? In the order in which I experienced the value of the RCA CC6151, I'll begin with the price. It was definitely in the range I was looking for. The first time I used it, I was astounded by how easy it was to use. I was also delighted by how light it is. It is convenient to carry around because of its size. To be honest, when I sat down to watch the first video I recorded, I wasn't expecting too much. But as soon as I hit play, I realized that the picture was BETTER than any of my friends' higher priced camcorders. Granted, I've only seen the results of about ten other camcorders, but the sound was just as good, if not better, than all of the others as well. To recap: This camcorder is easy to use, conveniently sized, lightweight, and provides as good of a picture and sound as I've experienced. Do yourselves a favor and get the most of your money!

Better than expected.......2000-04-04

I shopped around looking for the easiest, least expensive, and yet a good quality camcorder and decided to try this one out. I love it! My kids can even use it and it is so light weight. I also like the fact that I can watch what I have taped on my VCR with the included adapter. Great buy.

Best bang for your buck.......2000-01-12

The RCA CC6151 has got to be the find of the decade. I purchased this unit as an entry level gift for a friend and was so impressed that I purchased one for myself . This camcorder is simple to operate with all functions clearly labeled and easy to familiarize yourself with. There are a few special effects and the picture and sound quality are a little above average and you do not have to be a rocket scintist to read and understand the instruction booklet. Tape dubbing is a breeze and the included VHS adapter makes it simple to play back the tapes in your VCR. The best item I found was the charging base 110 volt adapter, no more stopping in the middle of a play back and finding you have a dead battery, just plug the camera into the charger and continue to play, record, dub or whatever. There is also a 12 volt adapter to plug into the car when you are traveling. This is indeed a great little camera for the money, give it a try, you will not be disappointed.
