Invu 15-Inch LCD TV with Built-In DVD Player and Stand Review

I got this tv for $100 when I ordered my Sole E55 elliptical recently in Apr09.I think Sole had some partnership going with Vuze.At first they said they would sell the tv to me for $200 with free shipping as a special since I was purchasing an elliptical from them.I said, "no thanks", then the price came down to $100 with free shipping.I couldn't resist so just bought it. Overall the TV is of decent quality. It picked up all my digitial channels (via Comcast cable), so it definitely has QAM tuner. The image quality is actually very nice.I haven't tried out the dvd player yet, but it definitely has one integrated.The only drawback to this tv is that it is not widescreen.You can watch programming in widescreen ratio, but the screen will have the black bars above and below.I especially like the powder coated metal stand the tv mounts to. It is very sturdy and great for the workout room.I think for the price that I paid, it is a bargain, but I couldn't justify paying more than $200 for this.

Product Description
Add a little entertainment to your exercise with the Invu 15-inch LCD TV/DVD player combo unit. Designed specifically for use with treadmills, elliptical trainers, and stationary bikes, the TV is mounted on an adjustable stand that positions directly in front of your exercise equipment. As a result, you don't need to look all the way across the room to catch a glimpse of the score, nor drag your treadmill in front of the TV. Even better, the addition of the Invu TV can make your workout more enjoyable. Tests show that watching television makes users more likely to exercise more frequently, and for longer periods. Plus, the TV is no slouch resolution-wise, with an impressive 1,024 x 768 display resolution and support for any antenna, cable, or satellite hookup (up to 1080i).

The DVD player, meanwhile, is built into the LCD head and operates with a side loading function. Compatible media formats include DVD, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, CD, CD-R/RW, CD+R/RW, and JPEG. Other features include a remote control, an electronic program guide, V-Chip parental control, a headphone jack for private listening, and adjustable heights from 64 inches up to 78 inches.

Specifications:

The adjustable stand positions directly in front of your treadmill, elliptical, or bike.
