Better Than Excellent
I purchased an Akai 27in LCD flatscreen/DVD combo about a week ago and I have been astounded by how good it actually is. The screen clarity is what first caught my attention when I saw it at COSTCO-- yes it is hooked up for HDTV when it is on display and there are warning stickers placed on the shelves to let you know that a regular DVD will not be as good as HDTV. (This item was not available on Amazon at the time).
I purchased it for use as a computer monitor when I found that a ...

ok tv but nothing special
This tv is convenient because of the built in dvd player but it only has an ok picture. The black levels are poor and become washed out at times. I use it in my personal gym while doing cardio so it's ok for that purpose, but I wouldn't want it for my main tv. The picture just isn't good enough. I'd say the best thing about this tv is the price!
Also, I hear the slight buzz people mentioned but it doesn't bother me enough to warrant a return.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT-BEWARE!!
We received the Akai 27 inch LCD TV, refurbished and paid $679.00. It was delivered defective with a loud buzzing noise. The product is not refundable & there is no "LIVE" person to speak with from Amazon. We were informed that we had to go through Akai for repair. We have made dozens of phone calls-It has been three weeks and no one has come to repair the TV- Never buy a refurbished TV and never purchase an Akai product. They make promises,will not let us talk to a supervisor or corporate...

BBB gave Akai an F
I've been waiting over a month for customer service on a dead screen. Do not buy Akai. Ask the Better Business Bureau.
--update--
Akai finally found a service center to pick up the TV. The guy was great and was in contact with me the whole time. Unfortunately, Akai took months to get him schematics for the power supply, which wasn't broken. They wouldn't give him anything else. Akai did call Sam's club for us and let us return the TV. STAY AWAY FROM AKAI!

Don't buy this from Amazon
Amazon sold this as new, but it was either used or refurbished. (The packaging was not in new condition.) The TV is good, but there is a constant buzzing noise from the speakers. Can be easily mounted using Peerless mount.

BUZZZZZZZZ
I purchased this TV from Costco last month and had to return it. There was such a pronounced buzzing coming from the set. You do get what you pay for! Save your time and money on this set. I even tried hooking it up to external speakers, but the hum wasn't coming from the speakers. Very Annoying!

my new Akai
I searched all the local stores and could only find a couple of flat screens with a built in DVD player. It seems to me that more would have that feature because the whole point of a flat screen to me is to save space. I put this out in a florida type room and so there wasnt much free space for a table and coventional tv so I thought, flat screen mounted to the wall would be perfect. Then I thought well heck if I have to get a DVD player it has to go on a stand under the tv and there goes my spa...

So Far, So Good
I am cheap and have been holding out for just the right deal. I find it difficult to justify 500.00 to 1,000.00 for a 27" LCD TV. The result is that I have been watching the same tube 19" tv in my bedroom for 15 years!
I found this on line as a reman for 369.00 at (...).
The sound is ok. Two speakers under the screen, not dolby 7.1, but ok for the bed room. The picture is great! I also love having a built in DVD player.
Are there better? I am sure there are, however at this ...

Akai tv's are garbage!
I purchased an Akai LCD from Radio Shack, within 3 months the picture would black out - obviously some component overheating. Sent it in for repair under warranty. Two months later, they sent me back a totally different set with scratches all over the case. The remote was a Phillips universal that they had painted black over the name! The set is too large for a specific area that I purchased the original one for.
I emailed Akai 4 times and get only a generic response that says:

Does everything well, at great price.
Now that I've owned it for 1 1/2 years I can give a meaningful review, especially since I've bought two other LCD TVs during that time and have something to make comparisons.
Now I'm using it in my study as a monitor for my laptop, and sometimes still watch TV or play a DVD. It works great as a computer monitor: bright, accurate display.
The 3:2 pulldown feature is very handy when you have it connected to an up-converting DVD player and it's playing progressive-scan mode. ...
