OK, lets get the good out of the way first. I desperately wanted a small white TV like this one to blend in with my all white desk, white speakers, etc. Its a really cute little TV and the picture is decent for one so small. I recommend hooking it up via HDMI cable instead of using the cable company cable going straight into the unit. Just dont expect quite the kind of picture youd get with a larger flat screen, because youll be a bit disappointed. I mainly use this TV to watch the news in my kitchen. Its a good looking TV and Im happy with the way it blends in to my environment. It is super lightweight can can be effortlessly moved around on my table. FLAW #1: The worse aspect of this TV is that the viewing angle for the best possible picture is directly in front of it. If you are viewing it from a higher vantage point or from one or the other side, the picture degrades badly. The picture gets very washed out the higher your eyes are and sadly, most people will be sitting higher than their TV or watching it while standing in their kitchens. I was so bothered by this that I almost sent it back. However, I was lucky to have found a wedge-shaped piece of plastic at work and jury-rigged a little wedge stand that angled the TV backwards. This improved the picture quality a lot. This is an unforgivable flaw and one that the company can easily fix by creating a new stand for it that allows you to tilt the TV backwards. Its worth fixing, because I think a lot of people will be attracted to the size and color of this little TV - it looks magnificent sitting on my desk next to my computer (both of which are sadly in my kitchen area). FLAW #2: The ports on the back of the TV are located in a recessed space or depression. This makes connecting stiff cables highly difficult, as you need to bend them quite a bit in order to plug anything in (co-axial cable or HDMI). I cursed up a storm trying to plug in my HDMI cable. Its even more difficult with a stiff co-ax cable. I cant even fathom how anyone could design something so stupid. PLEASE FIX THIS, SUPERSONIC!! A third problem, though not a flaw, is that the sound is REALLY tinny - totally bad - I guess this is to be expected from such a small and lightweight unit. I purchased a little cup-shaped white Infinilla speaker from Amazon for the TV which cost only around $29 and works with the Aux plug on the TV. The speaker is placed over a foot behind the TV, out of sight. What a difference it made! I could have purchased a bigger/better speaker, but the sound is acceptable and much better than what it came with. If I could have given this product 2.5 stars instead of 3, I would have. I think Supersonic should seriously consider upgrading this cute little unit and upping the price for it. I certainly would have been willing to spend $30 to $50 more for one that tilts and has proper plug-in access.
