Audiovox VE727 Ultra Slim 7-Inch LCD Drop Down TV with Built-in Slot Load DVD Player Reviews
I'm having problems with the picture quality on this VE727 LCD TV. I'm calling the number reference on my installation instructions for initial help. Neither of which do I like to have to do. Results will follow. It is a 2007 model and I constantly have to adjust the angle of the picture to get a fairly recognizable picture or fool with the controls excessivly.
Could use an external antenna jack. I owned the previous version and it had jacks for external antennae. Outstanding performance except for apparently low AM radio sensitivity.
The TV has been working and is convenient and of high quality, consistent with the price. We've never been disappointed with Amazon. We ordered this one from Amazon because the other vendor, although less expensive, had no more in stock. We're completely pleased with the purchase. We had to return the first one we received from another vendor because it failed after a couple of hours.
It has a timer - very, very handy in the kitchen. This means you will have to drill from underneath. You tend to stand up and move about in the kitchen so when you watch it you are usually in some position for which the picture was not aimed. Viewed from a fixed position like on your desk or on your living room wall this isn't much of a problem. LCDs have limited viewing angles.
This requires a little woodworking skill. But with an LCD screen I have to adjust it in order to watch it - every time. This is handy. The DVD player is less useful but its ability to play CDs is nice. I should have gotten the 9" model.
It was a bit difficult to install because unlike a a regular TV that you just set on a table, this one you have to mount under a cabinet. You set it up once for your viewing location and all's well. The AudioVox however has a couple other excellent features. This isn't an insoluable problem but it does take a bit of figuring. Also handy. If the bolts came up from the bottom rather than down from the top it would be lot easier to install - but that would leave nuts on the floor of the cabinet instead of just nearly flat bolt heads.
I don't suppose that's a fault of the unit but of my cable configuration. For years I had a Sony CRT under cabinet TV for the kitchen. alas it died. You leave it on the Fox News or CNN and look at the screen only when you hear some story come on.
The AudioVox 7" LCD has some advantages and some deficiencies compared with the Sony. So with a CRT TV I could just look at the little bright sharp screen from wherever I was at the time. It has an AM-FM radio. The default configuration expects precise alignment.
But a kitchen TV is not really watched that way. It has a digital clock. Off axis they are dark and/or lack contrast. Even when optimally adjusted the LCD isn't as good as the CRT was.
I have it set up with NTSC (analog) cable and I miss the program guide available on ATSC (digital) cable. The paper template is meant to be placed on the bottom shelf of your cabinet, but most electric drills are too tall to be used inside a kitchen cabinet. First of all the picture isn't as good.
