 Worked OK for almost 2 years August 26, 2008
We really only used the TV function, rarely the radio. The TV worked pretty well for almost 2 years before it died this week. We have Comcast digital cable and got all of the channels. I don't remember having any problems setting it up. However, one problem from the beginning was that we could only change channels on the front of the TV (i.e. one channel up or down at a time), we couldn't change channels with the remote. After about 1 year, the on/off button on the front broke, but I was able to fix it more or less (had to take the front off and put a small spring behind the button), and we could still use the remote to turn it on and off. Two days ago the TV went stone cold dead. Just in case it was the cable, I tried hooking it up to a DVD player using the RCA jacks in the back, but only got the black screen of death. Although we only paid $120 or so, and it was a decent TV, it should have lasted more than 2 years, although it sounds like others got even less use out if theirs. I wouldn't buy another GPX TV unless it was under $50.
Didn't last a year January 19, 2008
We got this unit as a gift. It lasted 11 months and the TV screen quit working. Glad I didn't pay for it....
Do not buy!! April 2, 2007

We received this item as a gift for Christmas. The tv did not work and we thought our cable outlet might not be working. We had the cable company come to our house and they informed us the outlet was fine and it was the tv component in the device that was not working. We returned it and they sent us another unit (3 weeks later) that did not work. We sent that one back and we just received another unit. Here's the kicker....they sent us a USED device!!! The remote had a food stain on it as well as a dent in the middle. The face of the stereo was scratched. By the way, the third one didn't work either. Absolutely do not buy this device. Not only do they distribute an inadequate product, but their service is awful. Don't waste your time or your money on this or any other products Gpx produces.
truly horrible February 25, 2007

The best thing that I can say about this is that other reviewers on this site shared my opinions about how terrible this product really is. At least I know that it wasn't something that I did wrong!
This product is really terrible and it gets one star simply because there is no option to give it zero stars.
First, the set up instructions are totally worthless. No text, just pictures that don't explain the details at all.
The cable fitting is on the back of the set which requires that the set be not installed against the wall, and it means that the set cannot be mounted flush with a kitchen cabinent. That's bad design for an under-the-counter unit. I went to Radio Shack and purchased a little 90 degree angle coaxial cable adapter that helped somewhat, but it didn't totally solve the problem. But I shouldn't have had to do that.
Then there's the channel setup. That's a nightmare. The auto scan doesn't work very well, and it assigns channels to weird frequencies. It misses some of the channels and there appears to be no way to recapture them manually. Those channels that are located by the auto scan are not tuned precisely and the manual fine tuning adjustment is very cumbersome, and it must be redone for every frequency. I worked on it for a couple of hours before I had to take a break, and I'm still not even half way done. It might have gone faster if there had been any instructions, but of course, there weren't any.
Several other reviewers noted that this TV won't work with digital cable. I don't know about that because there are no instructions!
There is no contact information included for a technical assistance telephone line. Some of the other reviewers noted that they had called customer assistance. Hooray for them, because there was no contact information included in my package. The company must have been so overwhelmed with customer assistance calls that they stopped giving out the number.
If that were not enough, after all of that, the picture screen died after less than 24 hours of use. That could simply be a sample defect, certainly, but combined with all of the other problems I am very discouraged. Of course, there is no warranty information included and no information of where to send the product for service or exchange, which happens to be the reason why I checked here on line. I still haven't located the contact information, but at least I found this review site where I can warn the world about this stupid set.
All in all, I must say AVOID THIS PRODUCT LIKE THE PLAUGE.
information not disclosed January 16, 2007

The company doesn't tell you ahead of time that this product will ONLY work with analog cable (not digital, like Comcast). They wait until after you buy it, hook it up, and call tech support to let them know that you can't seem to get any channels through the autoscan. After finally reaching customer service, I was told that it just won't work, and they don't have any kind of adapter or anything for digital cable. It really annoys me that companies don't find it necessary to disclose information that would cut down on frustration and disappointment. I gave this as a gift and felt awful that it would not work. I would hesitate to buy GPX products after this.
