Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I like it.
Review: This TV has a nice shape and a nice picture. The remote control is nicely designed with big buttons in several colors. I've only used it with a VCR so I don't know about the commercial skip feature that is advertised.

One oddity: pressing the channel advance buttons (forward or backward) cycles the TV through channels 1 to 13. So if you're using an antenna instead of a cable hook-up and you want to step through higher channel numbers then you'll have to enter the digits for each channel by hand. A slight inconvenience, too, is that you must type in a zero first to enter numbers under ten. (Pressing a "7" to get channel seven won't work here.)

It comes with an very sturdy pair of rabbit ear antennas (useless where *I* live but I suppose they work quite well elsewhere). An adaptor is provided for connecting the antenna to the cable-jack input (which is the only input on the TV). Be careful when you attach this adaptor: the orientation of it has to be just right or it won't fit, and the pin in the adaptor looks a little flimsy. Press smoothly and very firmly to fit it on.

The channel number is displayed, on screen when you want it, with pastel-colored, soft-edged numbers. Everything worked right out of the box (batteries included).

This one's a keeper; I definitely like the picture quality and also the appearance of the set itself. It's much better than my VCR deserves, in fact. If it wasn't for the channel selection quirks I'd probably give it five stars.
