Coby TFTV1525 15 in LCD HDTV
Not content to rest on their previous successes in the kitchen TV market, Coby has introduced the Coby TFTV1525 counter top kitchen TV. It is the latest upgrade to the surprisingly successful TFTV1524 and incorporates many of the same features that made the original such a great buy.
Coby are still not that familiar a name with most consumers, but with a growing stable of quality products and very attractive pricing they could soon find themselves with a loyal following. Their growing range of kitchen TVs should prove worthy additions in this regard and continue to enhance the company's reputation.
Out of the box the TFTV1525 is slim, stylish and lightweight. You can set it up in a snap and it's compact dimensions make it quite at home in a tight corner or crowded counter top. If you're really tight on space it can also be mounted to a under cabinet flip down mount.
At 15.6", the LCD HDTV screen is ideal for a kitchen environment. Big enough so you don't have to squint, yet small enough to be out of the way. You get a full set of connections including HDMI, RCA Component Video, Composite Video and S-Video plus the regular coaxial antenna.
It has dual NTSC/ATSC TV tuners plus QAM for unencrypted cable. The native screen resolution is 1366 x 768 and with the built-in 15pin VGA port it makes a decent computer monitor.
The built-in speakers are a bit tinny but this is typical for a TV this size. There is a standard 3.5mm headphone jack but the real surprise was the digital coaxial audio out. If you really want to go overboard with the sound quality, this is the kitchen TV for you.
