Summary: TV Box
Comment: Works great with my LCD monitor (both standalone and through my PC). Decent price! It is fairly light, and with the cable and speaker wires attached, it might be hard to keep it where you want it (That will happen with most TV boxes on the market from my experience), All in all, it works well and was no problem to set up. One thing to keep in mind when putting the battery in the remote is that the battery goes UNDER the + connector, not on top (found out the hard way ...)

Summary: With a little adaptation...
Comment: Good, cheap, and the right power adapter for your wall outlet; which two would you like?
I am using this to add a video/TV screen for a home treadmill, so my requirements were slight. I'm using it with a discarded 15" LCD computer monitor, at 1024x768 resolution. Picture quality is good, tuner sensitivity adequate for my exurban location, and setup was easy and instructions clear. I like it, even with the one glaring obstacle my unit presented.
In the box was a power supply good for 110/220vac, which was good, but it was designed for the outlets with two round pins, instead of US standard blades. There was an adapter provided for US customers which, while it fits my wall socket, does not fit the power adapter itself! Rather than purchase an additional adapter with the right pin arrangement, I was cheap and cracked the adapter's case to solder a pigtail to the primary terminals and adapt it myself. I did experiment with alternate power adapters, but didn't have one of sufficient voltage handy.
Performance is great, and the adapter provided was a nice try, but it would have been better if it had been the correct one.

Summary: GOOD PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE
Comment: THIS LITTLE TUNER DOES A FINE JOB ON THE BETTER LCD'S.IF YOU HAVE A LOWER QUALITY LCD,IT WILL LIMIT THE QUALITY OF THE PICTURE.OVERALL,I WAS SURPRISED HOW SIMPLE THIS TUNER SET-UP AND HOW QUICK WE GOT IT GOING.WE USE TIME-WARNER CABLE AND JUST FED THE CATV LINE INTO THE INPUT JACK ON THE BACK OF THE TUNER.SET AUTO-SCAN FROM THE REMOTE AND IT FINE TUNED IN ALL OF OUR CABLE CHANNELS.WE PLUGGED THE AUDIO JACK CORD THAT CAME WITH THE TUNER INTO THE AUDIO JACK ON THE BACK OF THE TUNER AND THE OTHER END INTO OUR HOME THEATER OUTPUT JACK.IT WORKS FANTASTIC.SAME GREAT STEREO SURROUND SOUND AS FROM OUR BIG SCREEN TV.THE ONLY SMALL PROBLEM WE HAD WAS THAT THE COLOR SATURATION ADJUSTMENTS FROM THE TUNER ARE SOMEWHAT WEAK AND WE COULD NOT GET TRUE RED CAPTURE BUT A SOMEWHAT RED-BROWN HUE BUT,OVERALL THIS TUNER IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY AND IS A NICE LITTLE STANDBY IN CASE OUR MAIN TV GOES OUT AND WE NEED A QUICK TEMPORARY BACKUP FROM OUR LCD COMPUTER MONITOR.
