THE TV.
I completely agree with the review left by Steve P. Moss. I love the picture. Very sharp and vibrant. I haven't given it a 1080p test but I'm not sure how important it is on a 24". I love the thinness and the overall look of the set. along with a digital out it has an analog out (red and white) which I guess is hard to come by these days.
THE SOUND.
I thought something was wrong when I first turned it on. It seems that the new and thinner sets are going lack quality. I guess there isn't room to add quality speakers (so they say). And no headphone jack is a bummer. Seems like a bedroom TV so why not add it. I'm still going to give this TV a shot but if I can't fix the sound, I'll return it also. If you want to read my current audio fix read below.
MOUNTING.
I also purchased a Cheetah mount and there was another issue there. The corner of the plate that attaches to the TV covered up both HDMI ports. If you decide to mount it, you may want to look at the smaller version or another brand.
SOUND FIX.
I am still trying to work out this sound situation after a week of internet searching. I have a pair of cheap Altec Lansing PC speakers that I purchased and are powered by the TV's USB and using a Y adapter from the RCA jacks to the 3.5mm. Unfortunate issue is the TV cannot control the volume. I need to adjust it by the speaker's volume. This may be fine for movies, but for regular TV watching may be a pain with channel surfing and loud commercials. If the TV had a headphone jack this would not be an issue.
UPDATE: Sent this TV back and picked up the Toshiba 26C100U. After I set it up and turned up the volume, all I could say was "Finally. I can hear it". Without jumping through hoops.
