RCA RT1970 19-Inch 720p 60Hz LED TV

We shopped around for a TVs for a long time before settling on this model. Was a little worried because there werent many reviews at the time of my purchase, but decided to try it anyway. I paid an extra $8.99 for Amazon Prime Saturday delivery, but unfortunately the TV was not delivered until Monday (amazon refunded the shipping fees). Got the TV set up and turned on and immediately noticed the LEDs bleeding from the edges of the screen. Also had what looked like a large ripple radiating from the right edge of the screen. I called RCA and was told we got a TV with a bad panel so logged on to amazon.com and requested a replacement. They sent me prepaid labels to send the bad TV back to them and sent a replacement out overnight. Got the replacement hooked up yesterday and everything works beautiful. Colors and lighting are even, picture is clear and sharp, and no ripple this time! Very happy with my purchase and with the service from Amazon!!

The television arrived promptly. It was a Christmas gift for my Dad, so it sat around in its box for a few days. Unpacked it after Christmas to set it up. Setting up the television was easy and straightforward. The stand is easy to attach and quite sturdy. The 1080p screen looks a bit fuzzy with an SD signal, but feed it an HD signal and it looks terrific. If youre going to view mostly SD content get a 720p set instead. They look better with SD content, but cant compare when viewing HD programming. The sound is strong and of good quality for a flat screen television. None of them have audiophile quality sound. This one is better than some - really not bad at all. I dont think I would pay the regular price for this set. It was purchased on a gold box special at a very low price before Christmas. For that price its amazing.

I love love love this 32inch rca lcd 1080p tv. I paid about 250.00 for it. OMG the picture is amazing the audio is very clear I love that I have 4 hdmi plugs. I even can hook it up to my desktop. I just bought hdmi cords so I can hook up my WII and dvd vhs combo. It comes in a 2 pack. If you set it up for your dvd player it is very easy to go back and forth. RCA is a wonderful company and has been around for many years. It is reliable and honest. I looked at many other tv companies and other stores Amazon had the best deal, FREE SHIPPING!! when the ups man delivered it he brought it upstairs for me. It is not heavy,was easy to open and hook up took no time at all. Thank you Amazon for your reliable service!! I am truly a happy camper!! I found out the price dropped and I called customer service Sebastian credited me 10.00 which made the price even better!!

I got this TV for my son for Christmas. Its a big purchase, so I read lots of reviews before settling on this one. He switches back and forth from TV (lots of HD channels) to playing his PS3, to watching YouTube videos on his computer and using this as a monitor. It is a nice TV. I dont spend a lot of time watching it with him, as it is in his bedroom, but anything Ive seen on it is very nice, crisp, clear, and with decent contrast and color accuracy. I didnt give it the highest rating because the sound isnt the best. My son tends to turn up the volume too high, and at the higher levels the speakers have a definite buzz to them. I did think that perhaps he blew the speakers by turning up the volume, but at lower levels they are fine, so I dont think they are damaged, just not great. If you plan on hooking this up to a sound system, that will make a difference.

Just Got this RCA today. Set up was easy and everything came together well. It is early to say but so far I really like this TV. It is no Samsung or LG or Sony but for the price it is a good TV. Sound is good. Other reviews said it was bad but I put it on surround sound and it is good So far no problems with this TV. It was on sale and I got it for 300.00. I will tell others of this RCA. I am happy Its been 6 months since I have had this TV and I am buying a new TV. This TV has good picture to it but the hues are bad. I get orange faces, the color gets off at times. Other than that I am happy with the TV. Buying a new Samsung with good color to it I am tired of orange faces and red lip stick on faces. I hope others have not had this problem. I have tried working with the controls and setups but nothing works. No matter what I do I get orange faces. So sad this TV is like this.

I was worried about taking a chance on this TV because of the mixed reviews. Fortunately, mine came unscathed and working great. Its mainly a gaming TV for my wifes PS3 - and it looks fantastic. Its a great value for the price. The ports are located inset but on the SIDE (left as you face it) so there is no messing around behind the TV once it is mounted - I am VERY appreciative for that. My only complaint is that the digital out of the TV is RCA type, not optical. Youll need a converter to change that sucker to optical (about $16 - but needs its own power) if your receiver or amp needs it. So far, so good - and my wife is thrilled. Happy wife, happy life!

It takes about thirty minutes to set-up this tv, because the stand design, and the fabrication of the stand components, leave a lot to be desired. That is a non-issue if you mount the tv on the wall. The picture of this tv is not exceptional, although it is pretty good. The picture adjustments are passable, although they are not great, and they do not help a great deal. The sound quality, on the other hand, is inferior and almost annoying. The sound quality is very tinny. It is probably acceptable for conversations, but it definitely is not suitable for music. Ironically, RCAs claim to fame has been the manufacturing of good sound systems. Again, this would be a non-issue if you use a separate sound system. All told, this is a good mid-level unit.

I received my RCA LCD 32 inch tv today and it was package very well and delivery was fast. Every thing was in the box and the tv looks brand new with the original plastic wrapper and energy guide label still on the set. The tv is much lighter than other 32 inch lcds and it has a thin sleek design that also looks like a portrait on the wall. The overall picture quality is great. The sound was ok. If you are looking to enhance this tv sound a sound box would be a great addition to this tv as I am shopping around for one now for this set:) The rest of this information does not pertain to this tv set but to some USED TV sets in general when buying from some one else. Some times you will see grainy green pixels on your screen when the tv is being connected using your high definition hdmi setting. Please note, the grainy green pixels has nothing to do with the tv set. Its more of a connection issue that can be easily fixed buying another hdmi cable. I did not have this problem with this set but have experience it with others.

Super-flimsy "feet" are ridiculous for tabletop use. Not sturdy at all. Must be mounted on wall (and youll need to buy the mounting gizmo separately). Other than that, TV quality is fine for the price.

I was really excited when I saw this for $350. Ive wanted an LED TV for a while and could finally afford one. Performance is just OK. pix-elates during bright flashes on the screen. Also color washes out at greater than 30 degree angle, can still see picture just looks like its in a bright fog. Head on though the picture quality is excellent, and the features are pretty good. One thing that I was really disappointed in is that I have a wii for the wife and kids and this does not have the standard coax input you need the HD connectors. From what Ive seen with those its hit and miss on quality and picture so Im hoping the one Ive ordered will be good. All in all I think it is well worth the price, but definitely not the best out there. If I wouldve had more to spend I might have tried the TCL 48" LED or gotten another Vizio.
