Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The perfect centerpiece to your office, den, or kitchen, Mintek's compact, lightweight DTV-233 elegantly combines a 23-inch widescreen LCD TV with a full-function DVD player. DVDs slide easily into a side slot for space-efficient integration. Just 3.3 inches thick without its stand, you can even mount the DTV-173 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 (400:1) 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 4 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.

1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money!.......2005-11-05

I tried this TV out the first night I got it and the V-Chip decided on its own to lock out a few channels. Customer service could not help me. They authorized a return to the Chino CA warehouse. It cost me $38.00 to send it to them. A MONTH LATER I got the replacement only after repeated calls to customer service over the delays, and run-arounds with customer service supervisors (customer service is itself a treat with this company -NOT!). As soon as I tried out this replacement TV, it also started to lock out various channels on its own. It will lock out a channel at random for 15 to 60 minutes all on its own. Customer service does not call me back . Don't waste your money.

5 out of 5 stars Hard to beat for the price level...............2005-09-20

Great display out of the box with minor adjustment for color, tint, etc. Exceptional display w/DVD. Sound quality is good. This is a substantial unit and difficult to beat at this price level.

3 out of 5 stars Great Picture, No Digital Outputs for Dolby & DTS.......2005-09-08

Great picture, plays everything I put in it. I can't believe there's no digital output on an HD set. This would be 5 stars with that one feature. I have never seen a DVD player without digital out, which makes me wonder about the quality of the DVD player. The speakers sound a little high pitch, but not too bad. For the money, not a bad deal. Amazon.com ships free and I got it in about three days in California. Go with the free shipping. What a deal.

4 out of 5 stars Hard to complain about this LCD TV.......2005-04-30

I have had this LCD TV/DVD combo tv for about a week now and am primarily using it in the office for computer and DVD watching. It's amazing how much better the picture looks when using the built in DVD player instead of the DVD drive in my computer. The TV picture is nice, despite the "made in China" brand name. The brightness level needed to be tweaked a little before an adequate picture could be watched but overall, it has a decent remote control and it works as advertised. The housing is not at all cheap looking, which you wouldn't expect in this price range and the sound quality does not sound "tinny" or like laptop computer speakers. One thing to note is the computer resolution, which is not stated anywhere but in the manual. It is not 1280x768, which is the native resolution of the LCD TV, but rather 1028x768. I was a bit disappointed that the VGA input would only produce this resolution, as there are other 17" LCD TV's that do higher. I was a bit misled thinking that it would produce the resolution advertised as the TV's resolution. I love amazon and would have returned this TV in a heartbeat if it didn't perform to its pricetag, but this product turned out to be a keeper. Hope this helps other buyers.
