Sansui LCDVD150 15 Inch TV/DVD Combo Product Review
The 20" flat panel LCD has a good, if not remarkable, picture with 640x480 resolution. The Digital Dolby sound is very good with DTS digital output for external processing. And the built-in DVD player handles standard CD'(DA) and CD-R/RW (MP3) formats.
Features
The viewing angle of 80 degrees horizontal and 70 degrees vertical allows you to see the image from just about anywhere you'll probably want to. Additionally, the screen tilts 15 degrees back and 5 degrees forward to increase the effective viewing range. The included stand is sturdy and doesn't take up much room. It also helps manage cables with a built-in cable channel.
There are a wide range of options for both picture and sound, all controlled by the remote. (Power, volume and channel selection are also controllable from the set itself.) Along with the standard brightness, contrast, color, tint and sharpness, the set offers:
* Closed captioning,
* V-chip,
* Channel memory so you can skip the shopping channels while scanning
* Set a sleep time
* Freeze-frame
* Second audio program (SAP)
* Bass, treble, balance and Surround sound
* Dynamic range control
* Aspect ratio selection (16:9, 4:3 Letterbox, 4:3 Panscan)
Performance We really like the set. The picture is acceptably sharp and bright. It's especially suited to our use which is almost completely at night with the lights out. We find, however, that the picture washes out considerably in direct, bright sunlight. It's not unviewable, by any means, but it is less than optimal.
The DVD performs admirably. Nothing earth-shattering, just good solid performance as you expect from any quality A/V gear.
The set plays nicely with other equipment. The Video/S-Video inputs allow you to plug in your camcorder, VCR, external DVD, etc. There are also Digital Audio out and RF input jacks.
Summary We really like this set. It takes up very little room, offers a wide range of controls and viewing options and is easily configured using the on-screen menus. It suits our needs perfectly. It's also quite portable. We had a Super Bowl party and hung the set on our living room wall for extra viewing capacity. It was a breeze and took no time at all.
Having said that, I wouldn't replace my analog set with this one. The picture just can't stand up to a good, old-fashioned cathode ray tube.
