Customer Reviews:

Good TV, lousy Customer Support.......2007-01-20

Good LCD TV, unless it breaks...there is NO customer support! I've had this LCD TV for about 8 months, and it performs well, especially when using the built-in HD-DVD. The remote control volume function went out, and I contacted Customer support...5 times!! (they are always unavailable, and you get to leave a message that will never be returned.) I even e-mailed them, and I still get no response.

DEFECTIVE DVD-PLAYER - twice.......2007-01-03

I am now waiting to hear from Mintek tech/support or customer service to repair or replace my SECOND DTV-263 within a year. After paying shipping costs plus a six-week wait for the last replacement, I would NEVER order this or any Mintek product again.

Good bedroom TV.......2006-11-11

The Mintek 26" combo dvd/tv is a very good tv for the bedroom. I have the TV hooked up via HDMI Cable to a tv/dvr box, and the picture result is very good quality specially on HDTV channel and even on nonHDTV channels. The sound is nothing to scream about but for the tv being in the bedroom, I have no issues. If it was in my living room where my 42" plasma is situated now, then I would scream my issue with the sound, but it's not. The dvd player is a little bit noisy when you first turn on the tv and when you insert a dvd into the slot, but it's quite when the actually movie is playing. I've had this tv for 6 months now, and I have no complains with the TV or the DVD component.

Horrible Experience.......2006-07-22

I purchased the DTV-323. Within one day the remote no longer worked. Working with customer service was a nightmare of unreturned phone calls and perpetual hold. The mfr. admitted there were problems with the remotes but were still obstinate about sending out a replacement without receiving the defective model. I finally gave up and just bought new ones. Be careful because there are no universal remote alternatives.

The picture quality for regular tv is so-so as well.

Nice TV/DVD for viewing.......2006-06-25

We bought this Mintek unit about a year ago, and while there was some initial quality control concerns - the first unit shipped without a remote or power cable, the company (eventually) rectified it.

However the unit itself is very competent. The picture is good, and who cares about the speed of changing channels (reported as a shortcoming by other reviews)? You will undoubtadly use a cable box as input, which will be the bottleneck for channel chaning speed.

I like the VGA and DVI cable inputs, both of which I have used with my laptop sucessfully. Makes a great "slideshow" panel for your digital photos. The sounds is not great, but again, we use it as a viewing device, and route the sound through a real amplifier/speaker system.

The DVD picture is great (no analog/digital translation) and its one less component to worry about and wire. The buttons and general interface make sense, which is a compliment in this world of incomprehensible UI decisions. The USB interface is too slow to be truly convenient, but again we use the laptop to show photos. Overall quite happy with this Mintek.
