This television isn't good.
The T.V. has a tendency to shut of by itself and to get it to turn back on, you have to hit the side of it really hard. The left speaker also doesn't work and the input in the back tends to make a fuzzy picture. I wouldn't recomend it, but it's up to you if you want to buy it. To try and solve this problim, I took it to my local T.V. repairman and he said that it could not be fixed. His words were "Its just the result of lazy workmanship. People just don't take the time that they used to when making their products. U.S. workers, for the most part just don't take the pride in their work that they used to." He just left the shop, griping and grumbling. So unless you want to be lectured by your T.V. repairman like I was, dont buy this television.

Nice Picture...but lacks features.
We recently got one of these TV's. It has a nice picture, but it has about two features, (closed captioning, sleep timer) That's about it. The price is great for a 25" TV, but after using it, you can tell why it's cheap. My opinion is that I wish I would have spend the extra money and got a TV with more features.
