I am absolutely happy with my purchase! Tv was delivered quickly and the price was very nice. Picture is amazing and sound is much better, than I have expected! Despite the fact that this device has 40” diagonal, it looks a bit bigger.

Surround your TV with digital audio. If you have a surround sound receiver or other compatible device, you"ll be able to get pure digital sound from your TV. Experience 5.1 channels of audio bliss in the comfort of your living room.

DVDs, TV broadcasts, streaming video, and analog connections can all introduce slight imperfections to picture quality. Although the loss in fidelity may be minor and unnoticeable, our TVs are designed with advanced processing techniques to improve the appearance of compressed video. That"s why your TV experience will be picture perfect every time.

Coby measures and reports Native Contrast Ratio, a truer indication of screen performance. Contrast ratio measures the difference between the darkest and brightest images that a screen can produce. A high contrast ratio will prevent images from looking washed out. Details in very dark or very bright scene will be clear and vivid without the loss in definition. Blacks look blacker. Whites look whiter. You"ll get a vibrant picture that will be a true reflection of the image.

HDMI terminal allows the transmission of a pure digital video and audio signal to enjoy the best possible picture with the widest support for high-definition devices. HDMI is synonymous on the latest Blu-ray and DVD players, cable boxes, game consoles, and computers. With support for Full HD 1080p video and multi-channel audio carried over a single cable, setting up the home theater is simple with the Coby TV.

This Coby looks like the television you have in your mind"s eye. There is nothing really special to note about the design because it does not take any steps away from average. The bezel is a thick black plastic frame and the stand is thick black plastic as well.

Using a very standard blueprint, this Coby is somehow unattractive. It is like a cheap suit: the design follows all the rules of a template, it looks like a modern television, but it lacks the finer touches, and the close attention to detail, that would make for a sharp appearance. The bezel is a bit too shiny and a bit too thick for our standards. The stand lacks panache and there are no bold attempts at touches of style. On the other hand, the isn"t wholly ugly. It will not offend anyone, nor will you have to cover it out of embarrassment when company comes over.

The stand is made of the usual, giant, hunk of black plastic. The neck swivels about 20º in either direction. Normally, we say this is great because it gives you better access to the ports in the back, but these ports are really out of the way. A small amount of swivel is not going to make setting up this Coby any easier.

This is the first time we have seen a television understate their contrast ratio in the specifications. Coby claims a contrast ratio of only 1200:1, we recorded a range of 2740:1, an above average performance. Stand up for yourself Coby! More on how we test contrast.

We saw some heavy color temperature errors throughout the spectrum from light to dark. We expect color temperature to hang around 6500K, but in the middle grays, we saw the temperature raise into the cool and then plummet off the bottom of our chart into super warm when the inputs values became black. There will be some noticeably wacky tinting at pretty much every luminance on this Coby. More on how we test color temperature.

The color gamut matched up very well with the Rec. 709, the HDTV international standard set of colors. Matching the color gamut is difficult to do, requiring tricky engineering and expensive parts to reproduce exact colors. We applaud Coby for hitting this mark of quality. More on how we test color temperature.

This Coby has the worst viewing angle we have seen since we can recall. From about six feet away, we measured the width of the area in which it would be possible to watch the screen without losing 50% of the contrast ratio, and you would have a hard time fitting two people in this spot. We checked the data twice to make sure we hadn"t calculated in error.

There were no motion processing overdrive functions that we had access to on the , so we had to test it as is. Even without these helpful features, this Coby did pretty well.

It must be the peak brightness of this TFT LCD that makes this model cost so much for the average year. Really, the $26 a year is not a big cost, but this is directly related to how much energy it is using. Compared to other televisions, the has a large energy footprint.

We had difficulties calibrating this Coby because some of the settings were off limits, and other settings did not control what we commonly assume they will adjust.

The manual is both large and uninformative. There is a table of contents that lacks enough specificity to be helpful. The pictures are often just graphics without any labels, so it is hard to discern exactly what they are showing you. Many of the functions are merely listed without explanation, and the ones that do have explanations are listed like "Contrast: Adjust the display contrast". Well, thanks Coby.

There are places out in the vast internet where you can find the for cheaper than the Toshiba 40E210U, though the Toshiba has a lower MSRP. Even so, we see the Toshiba 40E210U as a much better television in just about every category. The connectivity on the Toshiba is a bit limited, but if you can get around that, it is a superior display to the Coby.

The color temperature on the showed errors throughout the brightness spectrum, but the color gamut was really accurate. Unfortunately, the detail in the colors was lacking. We have to say the Toshiba 40E210U has better color production because of the superior detail and the color temperature errors on the Coby.

The had the worst viewing angle in recent memory, but the motion processing was reasonably good. The Toshiba 40E210U on the other hand had an average viewing angle and pretty poor motion processing. It is hard to choose a winner here. The lesser of two evils is always the way to go, but some people will prefer motion processing and not care so much about the diminished contrast ratio off center. In our opinion, contrast ratio is king, and we would go with the Toshiba 40E210U here.

The connectivity on the Toshiba 40E210U is a bit limited. You get another HDMI port and another composite port on the . However, the Toshiba 40E210U has a USB media port where the Coby does not. In our estimate, this should not be a deal breaker, but some people really like to show slideshows from cameras on their TV.

Though the gets almost twice as bright as the Haier LE46B1381, the small differences in black level really make the quality. You can see how superior the contrast ratio of the Haier LE46B1381 is to the Coby because of the really deep black level.

The color temperature score was low for both of these televisions. The showed errors, both cool and warm, throughout the spectrum, whereas the Samsung UN40EH5000 was consistently too cool from dark to light. We find that if a color error is consistent, then it is not noticeable. If the error is the same, then every value in relation to every other should look accurate.

Aside from color temperature, the Samsung UN40EH5000 had much better color transitions and one of the best color gamut accuracy scores we have ever seen. The Samsung UN40EH5000 is a much better color producer than the .

Conversely, the motion processing on the was strong compared to that of the Samsung UN40EH5000. We saw some blur and minimal artifacts with moving objects on the Samsung UN40EH5000. The did not show these errors much at all, with some surprisingly good motion processing.

The connectivity on the Samsung UN40EH5000 is limited with only two HDMI ports and a single shared composite/component port. The connectivity on the is bountiful, but really out of the way. If you can get away with only two HDMI ports, we highly recommend the Samsung UN40EH5000 due to the accessibility of these ports. You will have to take much less Tylenol as a result.

The ($600 MSRP but found much cheaper several places online) is a 1080p LCD display from Coby with limited features. We thought to give Coby a shot after their huge display at CES this year.

Many of these advantages had their own drawbacks. Though the contrast ratio was strong, this Coby could not display a really deep black level. Black level is all important for showing a great picture. You want your black value to be super dark, or else everything looks a bit hazy. Also, the grayscale lacks a significant amount of detail. We mentioned the accuracy of the color gamut, but the color temperature was wholly erratic, and the color detail was poor. The biggest drawback we found was the viewing angle. Any quality we found took a huge dive only 7.5º off center. This is a very tiny range. Your third and fourth guests will be sitting outside of the optimal viewing angle for this Coby.

The price is certainly alluring. You can find this 40-incher for about $400 online, but the quality is low enough that we do not think this is a deal. Buying a 40-inch television is an investment any way you do it, but for just a little bit more money, you can get a much better television.

The is the only model in a series made by Coby. It is a 1080p television with little else in the way of features, and a good set of connection ports.
