beautiful picture
Weakness:
NO sound at all. now this memorex tv was great for the first 6 months, then the sound starting going in and out. took it apart, dusted it out, etc. still bad, in fact no sound. upsets me that the pisture is gorgwous, but have to turn the set on in the other room to hear the television in the living room. stupid memorex, ironic with its sound declarations, this tv is the pits. |

Thanks Guys for the tip! A Friend had a Memorex MT2251 sitting around unused and it looked nice. I asked if I could buy it. His roomate asked 150$ for it. I thought it was reasonable for the size. But I didn't know about it so I checked out on the net. and found this site. I will never buy Memorex. I'll stick with Sony and Friends. Similar Products Used: I have a 17 inch or so Emerson TV made in 1989 and still works! I only have sticky weak keys on the remote which is taped around the battery pack! Looks good still. I think Emerson is cheap! |

Strength:
Good picture, good sound, good reception, good everything.
Weakness:
None I have owned my Memorex TV since 1993, I have only had one problem, and that was that I threw my remote away with some purple hull pea hulls, I am still mad. I did get a universal. I must say that the TV is great and I love the price that I paid for it. A 32" TV for $114.00, I say that it is a good product Similar Products Used: Stereo, and tapes |

Guess I got lucky as opposed to all the other reviews. Got it as a gift 2 years ago. Unit has been excellent in all respects. Remote quick working just this week (and I need to go to an OEM to replace it) -- it just couldn''t take the amount of times it was dropped on the floor. I''ve considered getting another one, but after these review, afraid of pushing my luck. |

Everything Do NOT buy this Television. I do not know if I just got a poor one or not, but the Memorex 2251 25 inch color television I have absolutely stinks. The picture quality is annoyingly jittery and static ridden. Memorex had absolutely no advice to offer me on the problem, either. "Try moving the TV to a different location in the house". Other TV's work fine in it's current location, and moving the TV to a new location solved nothing. When I asked memorex for further advice they simply stated they have no more advice to offer. This means the TV goes back to the store. Similar Products Used: Any other TV |

Strength:
Started out real pretty
Weakness:
Stops working after a few months It's broken and there is no way to get it fixed. The TV looked good at Target and worked nicely for my 10-year-old daughter for about five months. One day it just did not turn on. After reviewing the manual, we tried to reset, but that didn't work. Similar Products Used: Sony, Zenith, Montgomery Ward |

Strength:
fairly good picture/ good sound(while the speakers last), cheap, dual audio/video jks
Weakness:
not reliable/ speakers started to humm after 1st week of use not a bad deal when you think about what you paid for it, thanks for the warranty and the respectable service at walmart. I am on my 2nd tv now in 4 months. well the dual a/v jacks were great for those hardcore gamers. was actually impressed with the picture considering the price. Similar Products Used: everything |

NOT A GOOD PRODUCT I PURCHASED THIS TV BECAUSE OF THE PRICE. THE TV WAS WASN'T USED MUCH. IT WAS PLACED IN THE GUESS ROOM. THERE WAS NO WEAR AND TEAR ON THE TV. IT SIMPILY STOPPED GETTING RECEPTION. TRIED CONTACTING THE COMPANY TO HELP WITH THE PROBLEM AND ALL I GOT WAS AN ASWERING MACHINE. BECAUSE OF THIS EXPERIENCE I RECOMMEND FRIENDS AND FAMILY STICK WITH NAME BRAND PRODUCTS. TARGETS DIDN'T DO MUCH TO HELP. I WILL NEVER BUY ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS WITH THE MEMOREX LABEL. |

Strength:
Affordable. Good Sound. Good Picture.
Weakness:
Plugged in the unit and got good reception with a standard, attachable attenna (no cable hook-up). After one week of sporadic viewing, the picture bombed, and smoke began pouring (literally) from the sides and back of the unit. Immediately returned product to Target, where the electronics manager said he wouldn't buy a Memorex TV because of their poor reliability and performance. A poor reflection on a previously-trusted brand name; but whoever makes these sets for Memorex obviously isn't spending a lot of money on quality assurance (in my opinion). Memorex 20" Color Television with flat screen and dual (stereo) speakers. |
