Quick points that will be all that matters to a buyer wanting accurate metrics to buy by.. 1.tinny sound but has plenty of audio hookups 2.RF leak in antenna circuitry. Even with a high gain UHF/VHF/FM(note that ATSC/HDTV/DTV is in UHF and VHF spectrum) double stacked antenna with motorized rotate sitting on top of a 40 pole, you will have to sit on a channel a good 5 minutes before you get reception and still get frame drops if you move too much. This can be fixed with a preamp or by touching the coaxial hookup acting as a filter, or by getting cable or satellite or internet TV.. Also note those little HDTV/DTV antennas are UHF antennas, and even with a amp its not going to perform well in rural areas or areas >10 miles from a transmitter with a lot of tree line and interference.. Invest in a roof mount that is VHF/UHF/FM mix. 3.Can handle 720p, 1080p, and SDTV with no problems and has dynamic sound, noise reduction, and contrast. I keep noise filtering off for detail. 5.Has USB, VGA, HDMI input 6.Fixed LED backlight which washes out dark colors some, but not too bad for the price. Dynamic LED is the best tech for lighting outside of expensive plasma and dlp, this just has a stationary white led backlight though. 7.Its 60Hz instead of 120Hz. This only affects motion blur and is usually only noticeable on pixels around lines. I got this for $135 total, so no complaints and well worth it. The antenna thing is all that I really have a problem with, but Ill eventually preamp with a good antenna. 8.It has a cheap DVD player built in. It doesnt do divx, probably not DL, and sounds cheaply made

I just purchased this TV at Sears for $160. I would say that the quality of the TV is on par with that price. So Im happy enough with the TV that I will keep it, but I would echo the previous reviewer that the sound quality is not great, but easily fixed with a pair of PC speakers. The thing that I cannot fix is the lack of a rich black. For that reason, dark scenes are distracting. Also, when viewing dark scenes, I see a slightly brighter halo about three quarters of an inch wide, particularly along the bottom of the screen, perhaps pressure from the frame is altering the viewing angle enough to change the brightness perceptibly. Again, I dont expect much from a TV at this price, but it is worth noting.

First, I bought this for my home office and it sits next to my computer (actually got it at K-Mart on sale for $179.99). The picture is great and it picks up all of the local OTA channels using rabbit ears. The only bad thing I can say about this TV is its incredibly poor sound quality (very tinny). I have tried adjusting the equalizer at just about all different values and tried all of the built in sound settings. Nothing seems to make it sound any better. Ive finally found a few other reviews and many of them mention the poor sound. I would recommend going to a brick and mortar store, have them pull it out of the box and give it a try. If you dont like the sound, dont buy it and make sure the store clerk knows that is the reason. Maybe if stores started returning this for poor sound RCA might actually fix it and bring this TV up to 100%. Edit: I had a couple of old junky computer speakers sitting around so I plugged them into the headphone jack. The sound is much better, but since these were some junky speakers to begin with, the sound still isnt as good as it could be. A better pair of speakers might work wonders.

PROS: * The most obvious one: This was given to me as a bedroom TV, and its the right size to sit on top of my chest-of-drawers. * While its not a Smart TV with baked-in apps, the TV works like a treat with my Chromecast, although youll have to switch it to HDMI manually (like a caveman!). Because of the angle of the HDMI port, youll need the extension cable in the Chromecast box. And where Chromecast goes, Roku can go, too. * Not only will it scan cable and over-the-air digital, but scanning for one setup doesnt automatically erase the channels you picked up for the other. Thats not always a feature you can count on, so its nice to see it here. (Note: Rescanning a particular signal setup will wipe the previous one. If you have to reposition an OTA antenna for multiple antenna directions, theres not really an easy way to do it.) * Something I really wasnt expecting was the audio only mode, which switches off the screen and just runs the sound from whatever signals coming through the TV. You can press and hold the power button at any time to power up the video again. If youre running a radio or podcast app that makes you paranoid about burn-in, this feature is a no-brainer. * The on-screen program guide in over-the-air mode works very well and lays out the schedule for several hours ahead. As a bonus, you can tell the TV to use the time/date stamp from the TV station to set the TVs clock. * While I havent had a chance to test this with a USB thumb drive for photos or music, that option is also available. CONS: * If you dont have a digital cable box, beware: In cable tuner mode, this set doesnt scan for any digital/HDTV channels, regardless of whether or not Clear QAM is supplied by your company, and any attempt to enter the QAM channel number directly will be ignored. This feature was intentionally left out, and they even tell you that in the users guide. This feels like cable industry pressure, since thats the only way it makes sense for a "full HD" TV to leave out a cable-compatible HDTV tuner. This could be a deal breaker for some people. * As a lot of people have already mentioned, the built-in speakers have no bass response whatsoever, but this seems to be a recurring issue with the smaller flat panel TVs. If its going to drive you up the wall, youll need to pop for a soundbar or a set of multimedia speakers with a subwoofer. The set includes digital outputs and a 1/8" headphone jack for analog output. Once you have external speakers, the EQ settings make a lot more sense, but not before. * Closed Captioning: In analog mode, only CC1 is supplied. If you need CC3 for whatever reason, it isnt going to be there, unless Im missing something obvious. * A gripe specific to over-the-air tuning: If a digital channel isnt automatically picked up on a scan (and if youre pulling stations from three directions like me, thats definitely going to happen), theres no way to manually tune a channel. Punching in just a number, even if you know the real channel, defaults to analog tuning. Even if its a dead channel, its instantly stored into memory whether you want it or not. Trying to hit the number in the digital xx-1 format is ignored. Thats a problem. VERDICT: The RCA LED24C45RQ does enough of what I need it to do to convince me to hang onto it, but I got used to a lot of features on my main set that just arent here. I wouldnt recommend this as your primary TV, but for a bedroom or an office its a good deal.
