Price Paid:  $300.00 from WALLMART

Summary:
I BOUGHT THE RCA F26625 , IT IS THE 26 INCH VERSION OF THIS MODEL... WHICH I PAID 300$ FOR..

WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH I HAD THE SET I HAD TO BRING IT BACK CAUSE THE COLOUR STARTED TO GO, I MEAN REALLY BAD... SO
THEY EXCHANGED IT WITH ANOTHER ONE.. AND AT FIRST THAT WAS GOOD COLOUR.

THEN ABOUT A YEAR LATER JUST AFTER THE LABOUR COST WARRENTY RUNS OUT.. THIS NEW SET LOOKS WORSE THE THE FIRST ORGINAL ONE.

SO WHEN I CALLED THE COMPANY THEY TOLD ME OF A LOCAL (THE "ONLY" LOCAL ), AUTHORIZED RCA REPAIR CENTER. I CALLED
THEM UP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT IT.. AND IT WOULD COST ME 25$ JUST FOR AN ESTIMATE.. AND
THEN AFTER THAT IT WOULD BE 80$ AN HOUR FOR LABOUR CHARGES.. NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO!

SCREW THAT.. THATS HOW RCA MAKES THIER MONEY.. THEY ONLY ALLOW 90 DAYS LABOUR ON THIER TVS SO WHEN YOUR TV GOES
BAD AFTER THAT THATS (WHICH NO DOUBT WILL) THEY SCREW YOU OVER WITH THE LABOUR CHARGES.

THE TV IS NOT WORTH SINKIN EXTRA MONEY IN FOR A 300$ TV SET TO SINK $80 AN HOUR FOR REPAIR LABOUR COSTS! THEY ARE INSANE.

THE TVS ARE CRAP.. NOW THINK ABOUT IT PEOPLE.. A TV WITH "ALL" THEM FEATURES, YOU WOULD THINK WOULD BE MORE
EXPENSIVE.. BUT IT ISNT.. SO YOU HAVE TO FIGURE THEY CUT CORNERS WITH THESE SETS.... IT IS OBVIOUS...... DUHHHHH!

MY BASIC OPIONION IS THE TV'S SUCK AND SO DOES THIER CUSTOMER SUPPORT!

IF YOU WANNA DO THE RIGHT THING AND SAVE YOURSELF ALOT OF MONEY AND HEADACHES DO NOT BUY AND RCA PRODUCTS!!!!!!

Strengths:
GUIDE PLUS the only thing i can find good about this set! Then THAT EVEN died!!

Weaknesses:
THE COLOUR.. but isnt HAVING COLOUR why you BUY a COLOUR TV SET FOR?!?! hell if i wanted a B/W TV i would have used my little 12 inch!

Price Paid:  $300.00 from thebrick

Summary:
i have found this to be a excellent TV, and I didnt have a problem hooking up my VCR and my DVD at all...although I used a decent quality coax cable instead of an RCA video connect for my VCR..you arent losing much quality - its a VCR for chrissake! I love the GuidePlus menu too, this TV will do until I purchase myself an HDTV as I got a 5yr warranty on it and have never had a problem...

Strengths:
S-video in, good picture quality, looks nice, remote is universal,good price, GuidePLus+

Weaknesses:
Could have made remote backlit instead of glow inthe dark

Similar Products Used:
lots

Summary:
Great picture but trying to hook up a DVD (S-Video) and a VCR (regular video input) is nearly impossible.

Strengths:
S-Video output, light weight, price, great sound

Weaknesses:
unable to switch between S-video and rca outputs when hooking up 2 external units (VCR and DVD).
