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.

I just set up our new Pyle 21.5 Inch 1080p LED TV, and have to say I'm pretty impressed with the picture quality, especially considering Pyle is an off-brand. We needed a small footprint to fit on top of our refrigerator, that can be paired to a Verizon remote control, so the TV turns on and off with our Verizon remote. Our previous small off-brand could not to paired with a Verizon remote control, so we always had to use a second remote to just turn the TV on and off. I only had two things that was a must, good picture quality and the ability to pair it with a Verizon. I was very relieved when the Verizon remote paired successfully to the PYLE TV! This small footprint TV has ample setup features and options; i.e. the TV has (HDMI-CEC) which it's a more premium feature that accepts power on and off signaling from a 3rd party device. The only CON; so far which is inherent with most all of these small footprint off brand TVs is the limited audio volume and average speaker quality, which should be improved! My inexpensive work-around for the audio, was simply adding some decent shelf speakers behind the TV connected to the headphone port which sounds much fuller. now. The average audio quality was not be a deal-breaker, considering the overall quality of this TV, I still recommend this TV if you need a small footprint TV. I spent some time researching the few small footprint TV options and noted, premium brands like LG, Samsung do not offer many options below 32". So, any 15"-22" TVs are primarily an off-brand market, which you unfortunately pay a premium for!

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. Sadly, I missed Amazon's Caution note that it was a frequently returned product. First, instructions aren't very clear. Not clear which set up features to use for what application. Second, as others have mentioned, the tv/cable connection requires a 90 degree connector which is not included. Third, screws to mount the stand are very small and deeply recessed. Had to use tweezers just to get them in place and then play with them to start the threads. Fourthly, no mention in the instructions that the DVD player has a separate switch that turns off the other features if on. And finally, once I got it assembled and hooked up, the tv wouldn't turn on. The DVD player did, but the tv wouldn't. Ended up calling customer support and all they could suggest is check the power connections were correct and to check that the receptacle had power. Duh, the DVD player powered up. Then the only other recommendation was that since I'd purchased it less than 30 days ago from Amazon that I should return it. So, save yourself a headache and look for something else.

I’m very pleased with the TV. I get more stations than I did on 19” Toshiba I previously owned for many years. The quality of the picture is great for a TV of this size. The sound is also a lot louder than I expected. I like the fact that I can adjust for the picture aspect ratio to accommodate for differences in DVDs. The only difficulty I have had thus far is that I haven’t been able to change channels by keying in station numbers. I am using this TV in a small bedroom.

Good product

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.

PLTLD16 - This set replaced an older Supersonic 13" tv. The difference is noticeable with a brighter screen that has a wide viewing angle. We like the full-featured remote and ease of use. The TV was easy to setup in 10 minutes including mounting the stand. Unfortunately, Pyle (and others) have taken to using rear-facing speakers. This is dumb. A person is watching the TV from the front. The sound is already somewhat tiny, but this means that others sitting behind the TV, say in the dining room, have to listen to the TV at high volume. Lose one star for that. The second really frustrating thing about this set is the antenna/cable connection. It will not accept a molded straight antenna plug due to a large bump-out for the idiotic rear speaker. The designers of this fiasco should have their fingers crushed in a vice. What the heck were they thinking?? You must buy a right-angle antenna connector to make this work with a standard antenna cable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G128H29/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0 Lose another star for sheer stupidity.
