Right now I am completely satisfied with my last minute black Friday decision to pick this TV up for $250. While being a small TV it gets the job done and has a great picture when using HDMI and my Playstation3. I will eventually update this review based on feature experiences because I have only had it for 3weeks.

Cons
The remote is over sized compared to the amount of buttons on it. Also lends to it being awkward to hold and operate.
Bought a RCA "RCR3273" universal remote but it wasn't compatible as the package suggested, not really the TVs fault.

I purcahsed this Television/Monitor for use while deployed to Iraq. I have AFN television, my personal Laptop, and a PSP hooked up to the monitor. It works very well and has a phenominal picture. I am a professional photographer and I edit my pictures on this screen. The clarity and vivid color make the process very easy. The conditions in Iraq are terrible for a TV/Monitor but this one endures very well. It is constantly covered in extremely find sand, tt is exposed to regular power outages and surges, and it gets left on for very long periods of time. It does far better than most of the brand name flat panel TVs the Army purchases for use. I am anxious to see how it survives the trip home. (I purchased a pelican case to protect it during shipping home, although it shipped here in the cardboard box from the retailer.) There are 6 different inputs (including 1-HDMI) and it is very simple to switch from one to another. It has a very intuitive program guide (AFN does not broadcast a program guide, and yet the TV can ID many programs). I don't understand complaints about the speakers at all. They're not the greatest, but for a TV of this size, they're dang good. I saw the warning about hooking both S-video and component up, so I have not done that. The remote is small and simple...which for me is a plus! I don't need all of the complicated buttons that don't do anything. It has all the functions I need. All in all, this is a very good product and well worth the price. A Great Value.

I've had this Akai 27" for over 1 1/2 years now, so my review is based on extensive use and long past the factory warranty.

It's just as good as described by all the happy customers who've posted their comments here.
I don't know what to add, except that after 20 months it's still going strong.

The DVD player works fine, except of course it's not as good quality as the more recent DVD players that have come out during the past year. Still, the convenience is wonderful, and the quality is as good as anything I've been watching for the past five years on DVD.

My only complaint would be that the sound cannot be turned up to a loud volume: small room volume only.

This TV/monitor is being used about 8 hours every day, and I could not be more pleased.
