Rating: Summary: Low price...but a bit annoying Review: After purchasing this TV I was pleased with it's picture and sound for the money I paid. Shortly after, however, it began making a high pitched sound that comes and goes and seems to get worse when colors become bright or intense. I haven't a clue why it does this, but it's enough to really get on your nerves. This may be a fluke...but it's enough to make me think twice about another Apex product coupled with the fact that I can't find any sort of company webpage for any sort of explanation.
Rating: Summary: Great Buy, Great picture qulity Review: Can't beat this 27" TV for the price. Compared to similar models of Sony, Philips, and RCA, picture quality seems to be much better. Especially using S-Video input. No stereo when using TV speakers but if you're big into sound you will probably get a tuner system anyway. One other issue I have using S-Video input when the TV is put in standby mode and turned back on, it defaults to standard video input (eg. coax or video in). Easily changed with the remote though. Picture quality makes up for all the downsides though.

Rating: Summary: Low price...but a bit annoying Review: For the money this tv is a pretty good deal, but if you want something that will last a while, sink some more money into a name brand. I've had this tv for a little over a year, and the tube is beginning to show color loss at the two top edges. Also, I have been disappointed with the sound. I know, it's not stereo (I knew that when I bought it) but I was willing to overlook that because I was strapped for cash. But the volume level is difficult to figure out, sometimes it's up to almost full volume and difficult to hear, sometimes it's down to almost lowest and it's still too loud. Also, volume level 10 - 30 or more sometimes makes no apparent difference in the actual volume.2.5 stars overall.

Rating: Summary: Value Value Value!!! Review: I bought the TV a few months back when it was first put on sale. I have since fall in love with the TV. The set works great since I owned it with no problemo. I know it only has mono sound, but who cares, if someone really is picky about the sound, then buy an audio system. I especially love the handle bars on both side of the TV, making moving & relocating extremely handy. Did a little bit research on the manufacturer, the maker of Apex happens to be the largest TV maker in China. So I guess they can't become No. 1 maker for no reason. I think the TV should last for years to come....
Rating: Summary: Stay away from this product Review: i bought this model 6 months ago. the volume now pops in and out. you are better off spending an extra 20 bucks, and getting an RCA or someother well-known company brand with stereo. this model is not worth 60 bucks. unless someone is giving you this television, because you only need one for a couple months. don't buy this.
Rating: Summary: A piece of junk Review: I bought this TV because it had a good picture and was a good deal. However, my TV suffers from the same high-pitched whining sound that others have complained about. That says a lot about the obviously poor quality of Apex products. And, of course, it's now out of warranty. How convenient for Apex.
Rating: Summary: apex 27" television Review: I have been looking for a new television for several weeks and when I seen the APEX 27" TELEVISION AT2702 for a great price I looked into it a little more, It sounded to good to be true and I came to find out it was to good to be true. The picture quality is so bad on the majority of channels you can't even watch them, the background of the picture looks like it is rolling all the time, At first I thought my cable connection was bad , so I replaced that and that did not work. If anyone out there is considering buying any APEX product I would think twice about it, Like they say you live and you learn.
Rating: Summary: Great TV, great value Review: I hooked it up with my Dishnetwork receiver. The picture, sound, and the easy-to-use features are great. Better than the 27" JVC I have. It is not as good as the SONY XBR I have. But, think about $$$ vs $$$.
