Magnavox 20MF251W 20-Inch Widescreen LCD with DVD Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this TV and the DVD player jammed within 30 days. Magnovox refused to give me my money back because it was past the 30-day window; they insisted I pay to mail it back to them. They sent me a second TV and the exact same thing happened 10 days later. Their response? Spend another $50 to mail the second TV back to them. Their customer service line, with which I became intimately familiar, was atrocious. They couldn't have cared less. Never again Magnavox, or Philips, by the way, which owns the company. Never again.

Get all your entertainment needs taken care of by a single, stylish package in the 20-inch Magnavox 20MF251W HD-ready LCD TV/monitor, which includes a DVD player integrated into its TV stand/base. You'll be able to watch all your favorite DVD movie and CD audio disc purchases, as well as music and video burned to DVD+R/RW, CD-R/RW and VCD discs. The 20MF251W also offers the versatility to easily switch back and forth between TV viewing and your computer monitor. It comes with a built-in 181-channel NTSC tuner that can accommodate up to 125 cable channels. And it can display crisp high definition video when hooked up to an optional cable/satellite set-top box or HD receiver using the component HD video input.
The 20MF251W delivers a true 1366 x 768-pixel HDTV resolution (capable of displaying 1080i and 720p high-definition signals), and it also features a 8 ms (millisecond) response time for viewing fast-moving content with minimal bluring, 160-degree horizontal viewing angle, 450 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and 500:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) The 2D comb filter separates chrominance (color) from luminance (brightness) information in the video signal for independent processing to improve picture resolution and minimize distortion.
This set has two built-in stereo speakers that produce 3 watts of sound per channel (for 6 total watts). It offers the following connection options:
Composite AV (RCA): 1 in
S-Video: 1 in
Component Video: 1 in
PC VGA: 115-pin D-Sub
RF: 1 in

Tech Talk Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.
