Coby 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 720p 60Hz LCD HDTV TFTV3227

Pros: Price

Cons: Everything else

Other Thoughts: Bought it in October 2012 .now my bottom half of screen is all white top half is fine. I did not buy this from new egg I'm just informing other consumers to stay away I emailed coby customer service and they do not reply. Again do not add to cart

Pros: For the price, the TV was great! Some people are complaining about the picture, well it is a 720p with 60hz refresh rate, it's not going to be mind-blowing, but it works just great for games, blue ray movies, and even has a VGA port. I have no idea why people are complaining about the HDMI port, mine works perfectly.. maybe you have a bum cord?

Cons: Unfortunately, a few months after using the tv, it decided to not turn on every once in awhile when I pressed the power button. To fix this problem, I would just unplug the power cord and plug it back in. It would turn on after a few unsuccessful attempts. Other than that nuisance, the TV picture is great! Also, the volume and sound quality are not that great, but what do you expect? Stock speakers are never that great.. use the money you saved on this TV to get some REAL speakers!

Pros: New Egg RMA Service

Cons: The remote didn't work so I programmed my Logitech Harmony only to find out that the TV would not accept any remote. There was damage to the inside of the picture frame that looked like it came from the factory. The screen was fine however the black frame had a faulty edge that hanged down over the top corner of the screen.

Other Thoughts: The picture was pretty good. The specs say wall mount 200X400 but it is 200X200. I waited to by a wall mount. My replacement TV is a different brand that will need an adapter plate to make my 200X200 fit a 200X400. Ironic if it wouldn't have cost another $20.

Pros: No dead pixels, no problems with installation. Connected to computer running Windows 7 64bit (ultimate) / MSI NF750 main board with an Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 video card via VGA/DVI adapter. Nvidia display driver 285.62. Set to 1024/768 @ 75Hz 32Bit color depth.

Hardware setup and color calibration took less than 20 minutes to sync with other monitor and printer.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: TV was purchased to be used as a monitor so I can't rate the TV performance; but, as a computer monitor it works very well. I set the TV display settings to factory default and used the Nvidia drivers to set the brightness / contrast / gamma and digital vibrance.

Although the box shows the TV as a model TFTV3227 720P 60Hz, Nvidia shows it as an LEDTV 3226 1920x1080 (native) 85Hz.

Pros: picture was decent. It may not shine next to the others on the showroom floor, but who can tell once you get it home.

Cons: TV went black and screeched at me until I unplugged it! Warranty is for 90Days! I've had it for 180 days, +/-.

Other Thoughts: I never really used the speakers so I couldn't tell you about the sound. It got the same number of over the air channels as my computer, not sure if that's a pro.
I've had unfavorable results with Coby brand items in the past. Too bad I keep finding the price too good to pass up. Now I have to spend more money to get another one. I remember when I bought quality products that last... I still have a 6 year old rear projection that works just fine!
Just remember, you get what you pay for. But for a TV to stop working this fast? ridiculous!

Pros: It's cheap if you know where to look. It can also come in other colors (we have a red one, the in-laws have a white one). HDMI works. Coaxial works.

Cons: I will agree with the previous comment (what I could understand anyway). The resolutions an older video card with this TV tries to accomplish are just mind-boggling. The best I could do was some ???? by ??? resolution (I don't even remember it!) and it still has a black border around the edges - which is the better alternative to having the resolution larger than the screen size. This was with a DVI-to-HDMI adapter.

On VGA, it's another monster. While it does play a bit nicer with resolutions and will do 1280x720 properly, it has this little quirk. This little quirk (and by little I mean huge) is that when Windows puts the screen in power-saving mode, it will cease function - can't turn it off or on, can't change the input source. To fix this, the TV has to be UNPLUGGED from the wall, then plugged in again and powered on. Very inconvenient. This seems to only happen on VGA, not HDMI.

Other Thoughts: My advice for the buyer concerning this product is "have low standards". If you are just wanting a cheap TV for a guest room, workout room, game room, garage, whatever - This TV will probably work. As for longevity, we have owned it for about 6 months now and had no problems with it yet, but my Samsung still has about 2 years on it.

Pros: Low price (I got it for $200). The remote control is simple n easy to navigate, Tis LCD HDTV is acceptional for those tat does not care much about quality and just wanna a bigger screen size for their pc

Cons: TV hdmi input, the color is terrible, so much color smear and shadow. It look almost like you are in pc safemode.PC hdmi input is much worse. the color is okay but there are no way for you to adjust the screen to make it smaller to perfectly fit the monitor, you only can see the top of the task bar. I had try to set the pc resolution to its lowest and problem still.For vga input, it's more acceptional, letters are little blur here n there and must lower the screen brightness, if not ... good luck with your eyesight.

Other Thoughts: I got this for my brother and had told him to return it but he does not care much 4 the tv function, all he care was he got a bigger screen for his pc so lucky for Coby :-). I am just wondering tat even before Coby thought about mass productuion of this product, do they have some real tech or ... human to test to see if this product were at least on the acceptional scale ?
