BE AWARE! (not beware). This 24” smart tv does not come with a web browser!!! Otherwise, arrived safe, good pic.
Picture quality is ok, but audio setup is problematic, because there is no headphone port and no standard audio output port —- which means that you can’t use either headphones or speakers with this TV. Why? Because the audio output is “Toslink” — a digital optical cable technology created by Toshiba in the 80’s but never improved since — which means that it can’t handle BluRay audio, (as well, it’s inferior in range to HDMI). How do you fix this? If you want to use headphones or speakers, you can Jerry rig a solution. First you must purchase 1. A toslink cable; 2. A digital to analog converter box; 3. A Y connector with two male RCA plugs (to the converter) and one female port — But there’s another hitch: If you want to use headphones, this female port must be a “3.5 mm” port; but if you want to use speakers, the female port must be an “RCA” port. Which means that if you want to use both speakers and headphones you must buy four additional widgets, which adds more than $30 to the cost of the TV, and (if you want to switch between headphones and spakers) physically unplug and switch Y connectors from RCA to 3.5mm. And with every connection in the chain, sound quality degrades further. For all of these reasons, Toslink is a technology that is being phased out by many manufacturers.
First the good: This unit has a great picture and can be viewed from about any angle. It warms up fast and the channel search is very quick. It picks up more channels that the one it replaced with the same antenna. The "smart" features work well with some noted exceptions. The other side of the coin includes that major fact that it will not work with an iPhone as the video source. It supports Android only... a huge negative. It has no analog (RCA/3.5mm jack) audio output... only digital so your headphones wont plug in nor can you cable it to a lot of amps. Ive tried two digital to analog converters with it and was not able to get either one to produce analog sound. The menu has a large array of features but totally lacks an intuitive UI to sort through these features. It is very confusing to try to make many of the standard adjustments needed to optimize the TV. If it werent for the fact that this is the only "smart" TV that I could find in this size, I would have returned it.
