This 24” Slyvox RT24R3KGCA 12v TV/DVD player was purchased for installation in my small travel trailer. I replaced a 24” Vizio model D24f-G1 with this purchase. The Vizio was agonizingly slow and often took about 25 minutes to receive an over the air signal after initially turning on the TV & scanning for channels on arrival in a new location. I spent about 20 minutes on initial start up of this TV to input all info needed to sign into my TV, sign into my Netflix, Prime Video and YouTube accounts and to scan for new channels (about 3 of the 20 minutes.) On starting back up after being turned off, the tv took less than 2 seconds to come on; whereas I could expect to spend a minimum of 7 minutes with my old Vizio. This is an incredible improvement! This is an Android device & asked me if I wanted to sync to my Android phone (I have an iPhone) so I’m sure the initialization would have been even faster, although I could quickly sync the different apps with a QR code. The software on this device is well thought out.
Now for the performance. The picture is very crisp, the colors are accurate and the sound is very good & not the tinny sound reported by other reviewers for this TV, although it is nowhere near the quality that I have in my living room tv at home. The volume attainable is plenty loud at even a lower setting. The DVD player performs similar to other players although the first DVD I put in was backwards (with the label facing toward the front of the TV); it was automatically ejected like a piece of toast on a 3 Stooges style toaster, about 6” sideways right into the blinds to bounce onto the bed; the eject spring is more than adequate. This is a DVD player, not a Blu-ray player, so the video quality is not as fine if the two formats are compared, nor will it be as good as the High Definition signal that is displayed from over the air reception; it is an earlier technology DVD after all. Again, the broadcast reception picture quality is exceptional!
I installed this product on an overhead mount. The screw holes are standard & four metric Phillips screw 4x8mm-38 (not provided) are needed.
I am really sorry that it took me so long to purchase this TV/DVD player; I suffered needlessly with my Vizio for far too long! I would definitely recommend this TV to anyone else who is considering this purchase.
