Just set up last night so I don’t know about longevity. But watching TV last night I was very pleased with all aspects of this unit. Channel surfing was not an issue. I’m running off of cable and the set pulls in a number of digital channels that are an added bonus. I tried the DVD and found the picture to be outstanding and really didn’t hear the noise that has been mentioned by others. The set has many of the technical advantages (ATSC tuner, 1080i picture) that more expensive sets have and at a lower cost. Perfect for a smaller bedroom.

We bought one and got it home only to find out the built in DVD player wouldn’t load DVDs. Took it back to store and got another one. The remote did not fully work on the new one but kept it anyway. My mistake. After three months the DVD player kept a rental DVD and will not eject it. Mintek said to ship it to them and they will fix in 4-6 weeks. Unit will not even switch to TV mode with DVD player hung up so we can’t even use as a TV. Avoid this unit (and I suspect all Mintek products).

I bought this Mintek DTV-265-D 26″ this weekend because I liked the price, the built-in DVD, and the styling (in that order). Initial Reaction: I was immediately disappointed when I hooked the Mintek up at home, especially when I compared it to my 2-year old Sony WEGA LCD 23″ runnig in another room. Picture: The non-HDTV cable picture I tried on the Mintek is not very good. . . no comparison versus my Sony. The picture was just not that sharp or bright compared to the Sony. . . it was dull to watch. Sound: The sound on the Mintek is incredibly bad. . . my 13″ old TV has better sound. The sound is very “tinny” and weak and detracted from enjoying TV show (especially MTV). Built-In DVD: The Mintek built-in DVD player takes very long to load and makes all kinds of weird noises. When the movie finally did play the picture was very good/sharp so I’ll give them credit for that. But later on it was again difficult and lengthy to switch back over from TV to DVD. I fiddled around with the Mintek throughout the day but was unable to make any improvements on my issues. Conclusion: I’m packing up the Mintek and returning it to the store this week. I’m going to spend the extra money and get a brand with higher end quality/performance (probably the Panasonic or Sony 26″). The biggest eye opener for me was comparing the Mintek side-by-side with my older Sony. . . no comparison and makes me appreciate the Sony more. I gave the Mintek 2 stars instead of 1 star since it was the lowest price TV so you can’t have too unrealistic of expectations.
