A few minor irritations aside, as discussed below, I couldn’t be happier with this TV/DVD. It has served as my main/only TV for the last month. For the price, I just couldn’t pass it up when I needed a basic, simple TV. I’m not the “high definition TV” type, and mostly watch sitcom reruns, occasional baseball games, and the news.
The good:
1) Its attractive. Some of the combos I saw had speakers all the way up the side, which I found to be ugly.
2) Good DVD player. It loads discs fast and the TV has a sharp picture with DVDs.
3) Convenient A/V connections.
4) Compact, relatively light, and less clutter than that associated with an external component.
5) Its just soo CHEAP!
The BAD:
1) Unreadable manual, apparently translated from Portuguese to Japanese, and eventually to some strange, pre-Shakespearian form of English. Well, maybe not that bad.
2) Keeps switching from stereo to mono, and letting you know by flashing the display on the screen for several seconds. It could just be my reception.
3) Total lack of a respectable warranty. It came to me with a 3 month warranty, and then a year-long parts warranty. It wouldn’t be worth fixing after the 3 months are up.
4) No independent DVD controls. For example, you can’t pause the DVD and check the baseball game, or eject the DVD while watching TV. You HAVE to switch back and forth between DVD and TV to use the functions of each. And, if you accidentally hit the ‘DVD’ button, you have to go find where you were.
5) Delusional volume controls. The volume control goes to 70, but it offends the ears after about 14. Of course, a lot of TVs seem to have this problem. I would rather it have a lower max volume and allow you to fine tune the volume.I’m mostly nitpicking, and I’m actually quite happy with this TV. I may have to revise my review if it breaks after the 3-month warranty is up. I think this is one case where you get more than what you pay for and I would recommend it. Thanks for reading

I bought this 20″ Apex flat screen television to replace my girlfriend’s ageing 12 year old bedroom TV (19 in.). She loves it! The MTS stereo sound (5 watts) is good and the speakers do not distort at full volume. Because of the flat screen and advanced technology the picture is sharper, cleaner, crisper. As you can read, the Apex has a 181-channel tuner and a V-chip. The best was the price. This was a great price and a very good TV.

There is a risk that the TV will arrived damaged or not working to your satisfaction.Be aware this 100+lb TV is freight shipped, meaning that if anything is wrong with the unit, you are stuck with it. Amazon will not take back even if the TV or DVD unit is defective. In my case, the dvd tray on the unit arrived broken. So even though this item is priced great, how much is your time worth? I made a game of trying to get through to Apex, the manufacturer, on their Customer Service number. So far, mainly busy signals, or if you are lucky enough to get through, get ready for a hold time in HOURS. Thus far, the situation is still unresolved. Amazon will not help in the resolution, leaving me to deal with the Apex. I have already paid a great additional cost in my time dealing with this mess. Sorry, but unless you are willing to accept it at a great deal no matter the “hassle factor”, I say stick to items that you can return if something ends up being wrong.
