Pyle 15.6 Inch 1080p LED RV Television - Slim Flat Screen Monitor FHD Small TV w/HDMI, RCA, Multimedia Disk/DVD Combo, 12/24 Volt Car Adapter, Wall Mount, Works w/Mac PC, with Remote Control, Black

PYTD16 and ZVOX AV100 I thought it might be useful to provide both TV and external speaker review at one time. As the photo shows, I’m cramped for space and need both a TV and an external speaker since the TV’s internal speakers are not good. After considerable research I found this TV/speaker combination to fit the bill perfectly. Actually it was the only TV/speaker combination that would work. As the photo shows I’ve got a lot crammed into a small right-angle space on my bath vanity and it was a hassle getting all the wiring and cables in place. I found the use of four-outlet power strip to be required. 1. The PYTD16. This TV is good for my application. On axis viewing has high resolution with 1080i. This resolution fades considerably as you move off axis. In my application this is not a problem. The set-up was reasonably straight forward although the use of the pesky cable receiver did complicate things. I use the top button to turn on the set on and the receiver button to boot up the receiver. I then must use the speaker remote to adjust the audio. (If you use an external speaker be sure to turn the TV speaker setting to “off.”) So I really only need to use one remote to turn things on and off. I use the optional stand since it lifts the unit up a bit and allows me to angle the screen a bit up as it sits on the slightly-angled top of the speaker. Luckily the back wall and wall plug provide TV support as the stand is 4” wide and the top of the speaker is only 2.5 “ wide. I have not and do not intend to use the DVD option. As the photo shows I don’t have room to slide in DVD anyway. When I had this house built I knew I would want a TV in the bath so I had it hard-wired although a wireless set-up will work. Thus, I can pull in all 450 channels with U-Verse. I did buy the 2-year insurance plan from Assurion but I hope I don’t need it. I have yet to receive confirmation of my insurance purchase from Assurion. I am able to communicate online or phone with Pyle. This is a real comfort. While the unit is made in China, their support is in the U.S. The unit comes with multiple connection options along with a number of cables depending on your needs. I add that if you don’t intend to add an external speaker to this TV then perhaps you should look at another brand. The user’s manual is available online to look at before purchase. Now, a BIG downside of the PYLE16. We have all experienced the mindless and stupid engineering of Chinese products. Well the PYLE16 takes the cake. I’m speaking of the obnoxiously loud voice alert that speaks when you turn the set on and off or when you alter the settings. It’s internal to the TV and cannot be defeated or turned off or lowered in volume. And it’s LOUD! This is the dumbest thing I can imagine. The user should be able to turn it off. I can see that turning this unit on or off in a bedroom would raise the ire of a sleeping partner. 2. The ZVOX AV100 Voice Clarifying loudspeaker. As you have read in other reviews of the PYLE16, the internal TV speakers are terrible. I needed an external speaker that would give me more volume and would fit the small right-angled vanity space. The AV100 fits on top of the receiver just right. This speaker is ok and while I don’t have any hearing problems, after playing around with the six remote voice settings I can see that it can enhance voice audio. It “clarifies” the spoken word by rolling off the bass as the user chooses higher settings. I find the highest setting is a bit too much and sounds really scratchy. The lowest setting does produce some bass, but not much. In my bathroom I find the middle setting with some treble and some bass just right. However, different content providers’ audio signals do require me to adjust the clarifying setting on occasion. Be aware this external speaker will not give you any type of surround sound, imaging, or depth of audio. However, for my application it is perfect. I don’t think this speaker would be good for music. The remote is sturdy with easy to read buttons. Both the TV and speaker are available at Amazon. Unfortunately I bought the AV100 at Walmart for more than I would have paid at Amazon. I hope this review and photo helps those needing a similar close-quarter TV/external speaker application.

The Pyle TV is shipped in double thick boxes to make sure it arrives in perfect shape and that carries over into the build and functionality of the unit. It’s not a smart TV but it comes with a full range of plug in’s and outlets to let you attach speakers and carry out other functions. The plastic case is built over a steel frame nothing rattles and the fit is very good. The DVD works fine with good sound for a small TV. It comes with a very sensitive external antenna that found over 40 stations over the air in the Phoenix area. Given you can run it on its internal batteries or plugged into an outlet gives you many ways to use the unit. I have purchased a half dozen small TVs, Tyler’s for the most part none of them lasted long or worked well. This Pyle TV is better in every respect. The picture is excellent.

The TV/DVD combo has a wonderful high resolution picture and the DVD player and sound seem excellent as well. The only issue is resolving the combining of both the Pyle and cable remotes. Our cable company could not pair with the Pyle remote so I am going to try a universal remote. I think this issue will be overcome when Pyle becomes more popular. At present, there is a minor inconvenience in using the remotes but, as I said, the resolution and sound are wonderful. I did not give a 5 rating as I just purchased the TV/DVD combo and cannot fully anticipate the quality.

The picture is good but the sound is awful. The sound is very tinny, like you’re listening to an old AM transistor radio. I adjusted the sound levels to maximize the bass, and I turned on the surround sound. That made the sound only slightly better. I will be returning this item.

Perfect for our RV camper! Excellent picture quality. Sound is sufficient. The mount recommended (MI-LCDCM) worked perfectly. The TV provided no instruction on using a mount (other than the table top one provided). However, in the mount kit, the screws needed for the TV were there. The over the air antenna that came with the TV works great! We got 14 channels locally and we just re-search when we pull into a new area. Runs on our 12 volt house battery bank. Perfect for our needs. The DVD player is a very nice addition. Size is great for a small camper.

The sound isn’t very loud. But works for our Motorhome. Fits in the spot well. And doesn’t run our battery dead. So overall good. Just too quiet.

Great quality product dvd and tv picture quality is excellent this is perfect for my hobby room

Great Picture Quality, and easy to set up. But the only problem for me was the Audio. Sound was very tinny. I tried do change the settings but that did not help. If I had a sound bar, perhaps I would have kept the TV.
