Initial DTV-262 26-Inch HD-Ready LCD TV/DVD Combo , Silver

Initial DTV-262 26-Inch HD-Ready LCD TV/DVD Combo , Silver Now you can work, play, and enjoy a wealth of digital entertainment–including vivid DVD movies and video feeds from DTV receivers–from a compact and stylish flat-panel television. Initial’s DTV-262 combination LCD TV and slot-loading DVD player doubles as a computer monitor. The set’s 26-inch, anti-glare screen is configured in a 16:9 aspect ratio to closely match the original frame dimensions of your favorite feature films. A handy media port accepts streaming media via USB 1.1 connection and also reads image files off SD, MMC, and Memory Stick flash-memory.

The DVD player offers shuffle and program play modes, and it spins JPEG image CDs and Kodak Picture CDs in additional DVD-Video discs. Additional DVD features include zoom/shrink playback (2x, 3x, 4x; 1/2x, 1/3x, 1/4x) fast forward and reverse playback (2x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 16x, 32x), frame-by-frame playback, and a screen saver/power-saving function. The player’s firmware is upgradeable.

Connect additional components via 2 composite-video inputs or the unit’s HD-compatible component-video inputs. For your PC, you get a choice of either standard RGB analog (15-pin D-Sub) or cutting-edge, direct-digital DVI-I. Composite- and S-video outputs let you pass a video signal to a digital video recorder or VCR.

The set’s built-in left/right speakers are powered by 6 watts each. A digital-audio output passes both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround signals to compatible processors and multichannel speaker systems so you can enjoy spacious, enveloping surround sound with your movies, concerts, and DTV programming.

There’s standard analog RCA audio outputs, too, which let you take advantage of the unit’s ability to decode audio from HDCD (High-Definition Compatible Digital) compact discs. HDCD is a 20-bit encoding method used on many commercial CDs to deliver better sound than is possible through standard CDs. A headphone jack affords private or late-night listening without disturbing others.
Customer Review: Bad Exerience
The TV which was received was not the one pictured in the Amazon ad nor
described in the description. The TV received had speakers underneath and not on the sides. The ad noted that the TV had frame by frame capability which the one received did not. Discount Jungle offered a $20 refund or to take it back at my expense (over $50) I seem to be stuck with it.
Customer Review: Good buy
We have the 23″ version of the tv/dvd combo…and love it. The only issue we’ve found is not being able to program our cable tv remote to this tv…not compatible. We have to use 2 remotes (one to change channels and one for on/off and volume). Other than that, we are thrilled with our purchase. We’ve had the tv for 2 years now without a hitch.

Customer Review: A Waste of Money
I bought this in hopes it would basically replace my camcorder and picture camera as it advertises. One positive is in absolute bright light it has an ok picture. The rest of the time it is not worth the effort. It is light in the handle and heavy at the top. It advertises that is has leather on it. It is not on the handle, so it is very slippery in your hands. Pushing the record button is awkward. The camera does not have any balance. The pistol grip is a good idea, but pushing the record trigger you have to loosen your grip and stretch to get it to record, thus causing the camera to jerk around. The other problem is downloading, non-existant software and a mpeg-4 codec which make it imposible to edit with out buying conversion software.

I could go on! Bottomline, Save your money. Good idea possibly in the future with upgrades. I forgot sound is horrible. If you notice there is no advertising about sound. It is be cause it is horrible. Well, once again. Save your money, I bought a digital camera buy “C” and I could not be happier. Hope this helps.

Customer Review: Sharp LC46D64U – Banding Ruined this Television
I absolutely found the banding issues (vertical lines of color non-uniformity) unacceptable when spending over $1000 on a television. I unfortunately did not do my research prior to buying this television, and was so consumed by the unbelievably low price that I jumped on it. What a mistake. After a few weeks of viewing (and researching) I began to notice the vertical banding issue that others have noted seeing with this television. Most noticeable as noted in other reviews – during panning shots and uniform color screens. I ended up calling Sharp and they sent out a local repair person to take a look. The tech immediately agreed that banding was prevalent and took pictures (attempted to anyway – not easily photographed). I then called up Sharp Aquos customer support, and after some back and forth, I must say that I am pleased with their service. After owning the TV for 10 months, they reimbursed me a pro-rated portion of the original price (I bought this directly through Sharp). I know they’ve offered others exchanges/ replacements, but I insisted that this was unacceptable as I know that although banding is not prevalent on all Sharps, I was not willing to risk it. It’s a shame b/c the TV’s functionality and such is really good – the banding and buyer regret was too much for me to take. Don’t buy this television. Samsung (I just purchased the new 46 inch B750 series), Sony, or Panasonic are a much better bet. Check out “AVS Forum” or Youtube “Sharp Banding Issue” (Master and Commander example) or BING! “Sharp Banding Issue.” Weatlh of information there. Word to the wise – do your research!
Customer Review: Sharp LC-46D82U Problems after 20-months
We purchased the Sharp LC-46D82U in June 2007 from a local Big-Box store. The television worked beautifully until February 2009 at which time it started experiencing a blanked-out or vertically lined area about 12 x 12 inches in the upper right had corner of the screen.

Initially the problem was intermittent but within several weeks the damaged area of the screen became constant. We contacted Sharp who contacted a local Sharp Electronics Master Service Center. After four visits to our home and the replacement of both the LCD Controller and an internal cable the problem remains. And yes, the problem was confirmed to be with the television.

Although Sharp Techical Support attempted to diagnose the problem, they were unsuccesful. Because of their attempts and the attempts of the Service Center I am giving this a 2-star rating. Otherwise it would be 1-star rating. The unit is out of warranty but we expected a longer service life than 20-months for the Aquos line of Sharp televisions. The Sharp was purchased to replace a Sony Trinitron that was still working fine after 18-years of use.

We are now researching for a replacement television and the Sharp Aquos line will not even be considered. We will probably purchase a Sony Bravia LCD since, in our experience, they are a better quality television.
