It can be wall-mounted or it can rest on the included stand. The tv can also be used as a computer monitor. <br /> <br />I have no complaints about picture quality. The colors are natural and sharp. <br /> <br />Reception is lousy without an external antenna. In fact, I couldn't get a single channel in my area. I bought a Terk HDTVa Indoor Amplified High-Definition Antenna for Off-Air HDTV Reception for it and hooked it up. I immediately got 50 more channels. If you buy this to use as a TV, you must definitely buy an antenna to go with it. <br /> <br />Sound quality is acceptable, no static, but it's not crystal clear, either. Basically, it sounds like it's coming from a small box, which it is. Increasing the sound makes it sound like a loud sound from a small box. <br /> <br />I like my Coby TV. It sits above my treadmill and I watch it while working out. I've also used it when I needed an extra monitor from my computer. It performed nicely as a monitor. The images are clear and I didn't have any problems. Love the versatility. Rating: 5 / 5 This is a small TV. It can be wall-mounted or it can rest on the included stand.

Kagan Sun, 15 Nov 2009 08:15:16 +0000 http://www.tvmama.com/coby-tftv1022-10-2-inch-lcd-tv/#comment-3584 I'm waiting for December 17th, to see if it improves. So far, all I can get is channel 10, and the sound is very tinny. I didn't expect to find that it's a wide screen, which broadens faces, so that they don't look the way they actually do. It stretches out their faces sideways like taffy. The color may improve after the 17th. I certainly hope so, and hope that I can get other stations, as well. If not, I'll return it. <br />Marilyn Kagan <br />Providence, RI <br /> Rating: 1 / 5 I’m waiting for December 17th, to see if it improves.

It needs a pretty strong signal to function properly. It most likely will not receive the new HD signals after 2/19/09 although I have not tested it and don't really need it to. This basically is an inexpensive TV that lives up to it's type. It suits my needs at the moment because of it's size and footprint and when it shuts off I just turn it on again with the remote control. If you want a reliable truly HD little TV this is not the one for you. Rating: 2 / 5 I replaced my little desktop with this COBY and find that it shuts off for no reason occasionally.
