External Standalone LCD TV Tuner Reviews
I've already disconnected it and am going to regift it at a Christmas party.maybe somebody who gets it for free will enjoy it. The picture quality with the LCD TV Box was terrible. I get a better signal by hooking it up to my DVD recorder with composit cables. Happy Hunting. Also - best price online is $39 - look around, $99 is way way waaaay too much for this. The tuner in this thing needs either upgrading or a signal booster. I bought this and used it with an HDTV Monitor - not a computer monitor, hoping to get a better signal. I was really disappointed.
Best solution is to lay the unit flat which allows you to flatten the cables out a bit and position the unit firmly. True. With the signal having fewer pixels to spread out on, the picture from this tuner is suprisingly good. I now have a cool new LCD TV for a very small cost.
Some have said it's hard to keep the unit in place on the desktop due to it's lightness and cables pulling it around on the small stand. I have cable coax going in and then VGA out and into the LCD. I'm using mine with a small 16" Sharp LCD that always had a great picture but has been packed away in a closet for years. Overall this is one of the best electronic buys I've made in years. Looking at where the heat vents are on the unit, it appears laying it flat might also be better for it. This little thing does it better.
No more computer TV tuner cards for me. I don't have it connected to computer. The little board in there does get hot and heat rises. because this box has made it a television.
Works great with my LCD monitor (both standalone and through my PC). It is fairly light, and with the cable and speaker wires attached, it might be hard to keep it where you want it (That will happen with most TV boxes on the market from my experience), All in all, it works well and was no problem to set up. One thing to keep in mind when putting the battery in the remote is that the battery goes UNDER the + connector, not on top (found out the hard way.). Decent price.
I like it, even with the one glaring obstacle my unit presented. Performance is great, and the adapter provided was a nice try, but it would have been better if it had been the correct one. In the box was a power supply good for 110/220vac, which was good, but it was designed for the outlets with two round pins, instead of US standard blades. I'm using it with a discarded 15" LCD computer monitor, at 1024x768 resolution. Rather than purchase an additional adapter with the right pin arrangement, I was cheap and cracked the adapter's case to solder a pigtail to the primary terminals and adapt it myself. I did experiment with alternate power adapters, but didn't have one of sufficient voltage handy.
There was an adapter provided for US customers which, while it fits my wall socket, does not fit the power adapter itself. Good, cheap, and the right power adapter for your wall outlet; which two would you like. I am using this to add a video/TV screen for a home treadmill, so my requirements were slight. Picture quality is good, tuner sensitivity adequate for my exurban location, and setup was easy and instructions clear.
Great price as well. If mounted with velcro, this unit, despite its lightness, will stay in place. Great picture with all inputs.
