Ideal not just for home theater applications but for use in dorm rooms, bedrooms, home offices, or anywhere else you need a high-definition display at a great value, the iSymphony LC24iF56 is a versatile choice that offers a rich, vivid picture. There are HDMI, composite, component, and VGA inputs as well as an integrated NTSC/ATSC tuner, making it suitable for watching your favorite movies and HD over-the-air broadcasts, or connecting to your PC or favorite gaming console.
The Good: The price is a cash saver for an 24" LCD: most 24" LCD tvs range for $270-$350 plus tax at stores. Setup was really easy. Great size for a small bedroom at 24" and the design is elite with the clear glass-like on the bottom. Movies and video games look energetic and sharp. Sound is clear and the volume does get loud when turned up. The remote has a channel list (which many remotes do not have), so it's useful to know what channels proceeds and trails by.
The Bad: Although the LCD tv's size is good, the resolution is not so great. Certain channels tend to fuzz or have small ridges along the screen. The remote is sensitive: when I am on the menu and move the cursor by using the arrows on the remote, it will change the channel.
The Ugly: The start up and load time are absolutely terrible. The iSymphony takes a longer time for the picture to appear on the screen than other tvs. When changing channels, the picture lags about 8 secs before any images load. It's pretty annoying since my old RCA tv loaded the images within 2 seconds when the channels changed. Quite disappointing from the iSymphony's LCD tv.
Overall, the television is promising and reliable for now. Even though the resolution isn't perfect, it's exceptional for its low cost and non-popularity. The sound performs at its greatest and does not leave any noise. What needs major improvement is the start up and load time for channels because I sometimes feel that the tv will explode from the amount of lag. I recommend this iSymphony 24" LCD tv for the low income and minimum budgeteers.
