Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Westinghouse PT-16H610S 15.6-Inch Portable Dual-Hinged LCD HDTV
Customer Review: Decent picture quality, needs speaker upgrade
Summary: 3 Stars
Bought this unit last December and have used it since. No reliability issues so far. Mounted under cabinet, mine was missing the mounting template. Take care if downloading template from site as it may not print with correct dimensions. No customer support to speak of called numerous times and emailed w/o any replies.
PROS: Good picture quality, unit folds up under cabinet, wide screen format, can invert picture for different mounting positions.
CONS: Poor sound quality, esp. at higher volume, viewing angle critical under counter, does not swivel for better viewing. Poor customer service.
Customer Review: decent for an auxiliary tv
Summary: 3 Stars
I got this tv to replace an aging 5 inch B&W SD TV in our bathroom. We use this TV for watching traffic and weather as we're getting ready for work. Beyond that, I wouldn't recommend this TV. This unit does have a good tuner, nice remote, and the ability to position the screen is great. The downsides include are a poor picture (bright enough, but a lot of pixelation of colors) and abysmal sound (the sound is tinny/harsh and has a constant hum in the background)
Customer Review: Would be perfect if they improved the speakers
Summary: 3 Stars
PROS
- Great mounting options
- Picture quality
- Visible in high glare location
CONS
- Awful speakers (everything sounds tiny)
Great TV that I bought as a gift. Everything about it is perfect for a kitchen TV, with the exception of the awful sound the thing puts out. Luckily it has an audio-out jack, but frankly I shouldn't have to come up with workarounds for a TV at this price range.
Customer Review: Good ideas, poor execution
Summary: 2 Stars
Pro: Unique styling, good picture quality if you are directly in front and at the same height as the TV, great price, good reception.
Con: Really poor sound. Has external sound jack, but the sound volume is constant, even if you mute the TV sound, external sound is the same. Off axis picture quality deteriorates quickly as you move from dead center either up/down or left/right. Not reliable, after 45 days, the power button (only) stopped responding - remote works, but the on unit power button is broken.
On the whole, this unit is more trouble than it is worth. Called the [...] customer service number and they will send a refurbished unit if I don't mind waiting and wading through the process of verification and shipping. They will send a prepaid shipping label once they have acceptable proof of purchase, and are very courteous on the phone.
It is tough to buy a unit without first seeing and trying it - but then there is the reliability problem, wish me better luck next time.
Customer Review: Below average TV
Summary: 2 Stars
Bought this TV for our workout room but was disappointed and returned it. I connected it to basic digital cable but the picture wasn't clear and was grainy. The audio is underpowered, not that clear and has no bass. With a DVD, the picture did improve some and the audio was a bit clearer. The design is great and would make a great table TV if the audio/video was better and it had a few more cable connection options.
