Real bang for your buck!
Nmtiger, 01/23/2013
Experience of using: Few months

Pros: Great picture quality, Right number of connections, Affordable

This is a great affordable plasma! I have high-definition connection and on this screen it looks perfect! Standard connection is not so sharp and clear, but still it is "watchable". I do like that there are various inputs available, very convenient. I know that many better TVs are available on the market, but they are not so cheap, as this RCA.

Everything is great just right out of the box.

Experience of using: Few months

Pros: Good screen size, Great picture quality, Quick setup, Good price

Took out this tv out of the box, hang on the wall, switched on and that's it. Setup is completed! Very happy with the choice! My family likes the picture quality and the sound. Great buy and great price!

Nice computer monitor.

Pros: Great picture quality, Realistic colors, Reasonable price

I use this RCA TV as a computer monitor mainly and it meets my requirements well. Picture is amazing and price was acceptable. I don't have any problems with the screen, while watching movies or videos. Everything is smooth and clear.

Lacks features.

Experience of using: Few months

Pros: Great sound quality, Clear picture, Rich colors

Cons: Lack of standard settings

I own this tv for about two months and I am pretty satisfied with my choice. Picture is clear and vivid, sound is very good too! However I miss some basic features, like timer. Unfortunately they are not included.

Nice bedroom tv, but doesn't last.

Experience of using: About 6 months

Pros: Great picture quality, Good sound,

Cons: Unreliable

We had problems with RCA TVs from the very beginning. After about two weeks of ownership the panel died, so the unit was replaced. The next device was good for about six months and then the screen went black. Another replacement.

Now I wonder for how long will this new RCA last? If to forget about this replacements, then TV is good. Picture is really nice and sound is decent too.

Don't buy. Waste of money.

I own this TV for a bit more than a year and I just watch it dying. Picture fades! It is a terrible waste of money! Don't recommend!

Good TV at affordable price.

Experience of using: Less than a month

Pros: Great sound quality, Great picture quality, Good screen size, Reasonable price

I chose this RCA TV for my living room and I got everything that I had expected from RCA! Picture is great! Switching from coaxial cable to HDMI made it almost perfect! Very clear and sharp. Sound is also great! Screen size is just right for me and price was acceptable.
