Rca Televison With Xbox Port By Ally_DeVille on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
I like this television, the picture and sound quality are great! The size of the screen is 32 inches but it takes up a very large footprint. The speakers are located on the side of the unit which made it difficult to get it into the entertainment center; it's very wide! The remote is big with a lot of useless features but since I have a universal remote system for the cable it became basicially unecessary.
It does have a nice feature that came in very handy, it's own port for the Xbox system-- really nice to have and it means that the other input/output ports remain free. I like that I can keep the wires all separate!
The one thing this TV has that is highly aggravating is the Guidestar system, basically it lets up set up cable/satellite and vcr through it but if you have a cable box it's totally useless. Deactivating was a challenge, there isn't clearcut directions in the instruction manual on how to deactivate it; you have to just keep trying different combinations to get out of the screen. It took a while bypass that feature but it hasn't come up since it was first installed.
It's a good value for the money spent.

Sounds frustrating on some fronts. Glad you were satisfied in the end.
I've never heard of a tv with an Xbox port-that's pretty neat & seems to be the wave of the future!
Love that it has an Xbox port! Sounds like a good tv for a great price!
Wow ...TV with it's own port for the Xbox system, it sure is nice and price is reasonable too. Despite of some setbacks , it is still a good system
This sounds like a nice tv even though there are a few negatives. Thanks for the information.
I hate those instructions booklets that are no help! Glad you were able to figure out how to turn off the Guidestar system. And yay for a way to keep some of the wires separate!
I remember looking at this TV but the side speakers made it too wide for our entertainment center... If I had an xbox I would love that feature of a built in port!
A built in port for the X-box is a good thing for it to have, we have had RCA tv's in the past and were very happy with their performance. Thanks for the pro's and con's of this tv.
