never had a minute's trouble with this TV. have used it continuously since 1998 and even moved it half way across the US. i like the way it turns itself off and on. used it as my alarm many times. |

Strength:
Clear picture
Weakness:
Very heavy to move, sound isn't real loud, don't work This tv has been nothing but a headache for us. You have to turn it on 2-3 times before it actually turns on. In the last year, the tv turns off all by itself, if you tilt the tv or hit the top of it, it would turn back on for 2-5 minutes then shut off again. Had it repaired like suggested on the GE site, but still doesn't work. I called GE, was on hold for 5 min, then was told after 10 min of trouble shooting that since it wasn't under 27 inches it couldn't be returned, or exchanged. The closest repair guy is 90 miles away.

Strength:
Easy to use remote
Weakness:
Junk Junk Junk. Easy to use "universal" remote won't control any of my other equipment. This is a very unreliable television. The first one I took home lasted three months when it started turning itself off without warning. Walmart was very good and replaced it without question. The second TV (which was a newer model and had more features) lasted 1 year and five months. This TV now has no sound (well I guess it does if you like the sound of static!) I contacted Walmart and spoke with the Assistant Manager who was very sympathetic after I explained that this was in fact the second GE television from their store that had stopped working. She mentioned that they had been getting allot of these defective GE televisions back and offered me a full credit toward a new TV (of a different brand - her suggestion) I bought this TV because of its price and features - I will never buy another GE television! Thank-you to Walmart as the TV had just run out of warranty and I would have been out of luck and money otherwise! Similar Products Used: Toshiba, Citizen, Sanyo, Kenwood,JVC, Panasonic |

Strength:
s video for a tv this old and decent pitcure quality
Weakness:
remote i would say overall for a tv of this age, i have been very happy with it. it had svideo before there were many devices that output svideo - picture quality is average to above average and finally, the cost of the unit makes it a winner, whether it is purchased new or used. I am very happy with it |

Strength:
thin and light unit i can lift this with one arm.
Weakness:
tube is as round as a ball, remote stinks, picture is blury, svideo overrides video input I got this as a gift, I would have never bought this unit. It appears to be alright for a very low end television. |
