VERY IMPRESSED!!!

 

It was tough getting me away from plasma, but couldn't make reason out of putting a 42" plasma in each of 3 bedrooms. Looked at the Sceptre and a lot of other brands on this site for about a month and read a bunch of reviews. NOTE - PLEASE EVERYONE,...

Excellent picture, extremely easy setup (don't even need manual), good sound, and enough forward and back tilt for most viewing angles. Backlight control is a nice feature. You will more than likely need to turn it all the way up at night

horizontal viewing angle not so great, but who watches TV at 150 degrees to either side ; could've added another picture setting for 4:3 HD channels... sort of disfigured but not bad enough to complain

Good Buy

 

I'm using this as a Wii display along with some occasional hdtv. A black colored bezel would have been preferred, but backlight control takes precedence. White, unlike red or pink (!?) is a neutral color, and is acceptable. I noticed no lag in 480p...

Price ; Plenty of input options plus composite+audio output ; Small footprint because the speakers are below the screen instead of on the sides. Fits nicely on top of my bookshelf ; Backlight brightness control, which the (black colored) Naga model...

One or two green pixels which start working or go dead (black) after the the screen warms up. To be expected in this price range IMO

Great Product

 

As always, Newegg dilivered!, thanks.

I tried the Vizio and Westinghouse 26" LCD HDTV's for use in my exercise room but end up returning both of them. This sceptre beats them hand down and I don't notice the size diffenrent at all. Love all the input options, the "Audio Out" option is...

Unit is a bit light compare to others, hope this will not impact long term reliability quality

Owned this model in WHITE for a year now.

 

Overall, this is a very good TV for the money. If the digital tuner were to respond as well as my other LCD TV, this would be the perfect TV.

Nice picture, good menu system, good menu information, excellent remote response, has video outputs (you can decode digitally through the TV and send the video signal to a VCR or something), good overall selection of video I/O

Speakers don't sound louder when you turn volume up (unit just seems to vibrate louder), digital over-the-air tuning only happens when the signal strength is > 80%, standard analog television looks like junk (but that is understandable)

SCEPTRE 23" 16:9 8ms 720p LCD HDTV X23WV-Komodo

 

Overall it's a great monitor/tv. If you get the red LED; It comes on when the monitor is sleeping or off. Hit the source or power button.

HUGE screen, clear picture, lots of inputs, even HDMI. Sits well next to my other Sceptre 22"" gaming monitor. Works well as a second monitor when not using as a TV.

Casing is a bit thick, but still reasonable. Stand is larger than other Sceptres. I have to put my 22"" on a book to make it the same level. One dead pixel, barely noticable. Resolution could be better.

Works

 

This is my second Sceptre TV, I also own a 27" SV Naga LCD (newegg doesn't carry this model anymore) and so far I like this TV better. It has better image quality, and better sound, and to top it off it just looks great!

Awesome picture, plethora of inputs, and great sound. This baby just exudes quality, an awesome TV for sure

Have to play with settings a bit to get the best image. The monitor shipped with one dead pixel

good deal, I'd buy again

 

I have Not tried the PC input, sorry. But I have tried the NTSC & ATSC tuners and component and HDMI (w/DVI at cable box end) inputs, hooked up to my Comcast STB, and am happy with them all. This is a bedroom TV, so I'm not too picky about picture...

Great feature set for the price. Nice looking set. Relatively narrow bezel. Works with my Comcast cable box remote (code 0111) though not listed.

HD picture quality only good (not very good, or great). To remove the stand stub, you have to remove an adhesive placard (that doesn't look like it's meant to be removed). Plastic bezel piece around the edge of the screen is loose at bottom right...
