The Zenith IQB36B44W features the two-tuner picture-in-picture, a convenient way to watch two channels at once on the same TV. Dual tuners free up the VCR to record a third channel at the same time. Included with the two-tuner picture-in-picture are special features such as freeze, picture swap, audio swap, and move. Guide Plus+ Gold, another convenient feature of the Zenith IQB36B44W, is a built-in electronic program guide that uses an easy-to-read grid guide system for easy channel navigation. The onscreen display has full color channel logos, station call letters, 3-D graphics, horizontal scrolling, direct tuning access through the grid, and theme color coding. The Zenith IQB36B44W design also includes a trilingual icon menu system with TAG menus, easy mute, closed caption mute; flashback; channel add, delete, and surf; XDS (where available); onscreen speaker switch; time-channel display; SoundRite volume limiter; timer; programming; captions; and clock. It comes in a warm bronze finish. PIP Failed, but otherwise I ALSO had the PIP fail in my unit, in fact - it never worked out of the box. Zenith service sent someone out, they had to haul it away for a few days (couldn't fix it onsite), and I got it back. Worked fine ever since. No other problems. So, only that little annoyance, and I'll give it 4 out of 5. Date: 2001-03-30 Poor Quality It seems Zenith has quality control problems they are not dealing with. I bought a Zenith TV which had both a tuner and power supply failure within its short 3 1/2 year life span. The repair was more than the TV was worth! The tuners are junk and the power supplies are inadequate. I also purchased a Zenith DVD player that failed to work right out of the box! Date: 2001-03-01 Dont buy I will never buy a zeith again... We bought ours and it lasted 1yr and 9 months and quit. The cost of repair was greater than the cost of a new TV. I would think a TV would last longer than a yr and 9 months. Date: 2001-02-16 Great TV Once the Bugs Were Worked Out I had the same disappointing experience as some other reviewers with this TV: PIP failed almost immediately. The problem was fixed under warranty, but it took two weeks for the repair shop to get replacement internal circuitry from Zenith. I can't believe Zenith is unaware of this problem by now. Now that everything's running right, the set is terrific....Excellent picture and color (especially with digtal cable and a Zenith Inteq DVD player) and great sound (integrates well with my compact stereo sound system). Date: 2001-02-07 Great TV! This TV replaced a 9 year old Zenith that required no repair during that time.Every feature on my new Zenith works great.Unless you just get a"bad apple"you will be very pleased.
