Should I return my 19″ Insignia LCD HDTV/DVD combo for another brand?
A week and a half ago I bought a 19″ Insignia LCD HDTV/DVD combo from BestBuy for $350. I turned it on and immediately did not like it, I’m moving into my new place soon and have yet to see it hooked up to HD but its wicked slow to turn on/turn channels, the dvd player makes me nervous and if you don’t put the dvd in correctly it doesn’t work (already happened to me a couple times) From some reviews online Insignia sounds pretty crappy and it was the first time I actually have heard about them.
My questions are:
1. How are Insignia for televisions?
2. Should I return this Insignia? (leaning towards it)
3. What is a good brand to buy instead (I want an LCD 19″-26″ for my bedroom)
I spent $350 on the Insignia (which I obviously would get back) but I would NOT want to spend more than another $100 making it $450 overall for a decent LCD HDTV for my bedroom.
Any suggestions as to what I should do in this situation?
1. They are garbage!
2. Yes
3. For the amount you have to spend, I don’t think you’ll be able to get one of the top tier sets. See if you can get an Olevia. The latest Consumer Reports indicates that their reliability doesn’t look too bad. based on limited data.
4. Stay away from Polaroid!
5. Don’t get a built-in DVD player.
