If you are a TV perfectionist "snob" looking for a top-of-the-line, super 32" HD picture quality TV, this is not it. However, everything the Coby 3217 TV has to offer is more than just adequate. In fact, it far exceeds many TV's costing as much as $200 more. The picture quality, compared to our 3-month old top-of the line Samsung, is pretty close. Only side-by-side can you tell the difference. The internal sound quality actually seems better...of course hooked up to a theatre-surround-sound, there is no difference.
There are only three minor complaints: 1) It is a little difficult to connect to the terminals on the back because they are recessed and vertical....I suggest "quick connects." However, this turns out to be an advantage in the long run in that wiring is concealed once you get it hooked up. 2) The remote is somewhat awkward to use (the menu system) and it is not lighted. 3) Specifically for us, and anyone else who has Direct TV, obtaining the codes for the Coby is difficult. You have to thumb through all the codes to find the right one. Once this tedious procedure is done, it's fine. (This is a "Direct TV" problem, having nothing to do with Coby. We are going to switch to U-Verse.)
I highly recommend this TV; and we are going to install these, instead of more costly TV's in our other two bedrooms. It gets a five star (and I am very critical) because of the value for the money and J&R's shipping and packaging was excellent.
