Summary: Good quality for the price
Review: Bought this TV because we got a really good deal on it, and why spend like 200 bucks more for a Sony or Panasonic when in a few years HDTV will be all the rage anyhow. Now i am not sure what the deal with Apex is, and why their items are so [inexpensive]. But sometimes I see why. I previously have the AD-1500 DVD player, and I find that to be an excellent player that you can pretty much throw anything at and it will play it. So I figured now since they are in the TV business, their TVs must be decent. Well like the DVD remote, the remote for the TV is pretty small and somewhat poorly designed. It doesn't cater to other brands of anything, and doesn't have any universal capabilities (while other universal remotes don't cater to apex) I did find that Toshiba codes usually work for Apex though. Anyhow the features on the TV are ok, nothing too spectacular on the menu system. It is nice that it does have the AV out, and the 3 AV inputs including one with S-video in. But there seems to be an issue with the TV cutting off the sides of the screen. Now I called apex about this and asked them what the deal was, and they said that this shouldn't happen, so I replaced the TV (within the 30 days) and it still happens a bit. It isn't like you really notice it at all unless you are watching some sports scores, or if channels have their little logo on the screen at all times, then you will see it is cutting off a little bit what it shouldn't. Now I don't know why it does this due to the fact that it is a FLAT SCREEN TV, but i guess that is why it is a little cheaper. So that is my warning about this TV, it is good for its price, looks like a nice picture and everything. But it seems to cut off the sides of the picture by about half an inch or so. I even conducted the THX test from one of my DVDs and it should have two full boxes and only has one and parts of the lines of the other on the screen. Who knows. Good TV for the price, but spend more if you want perfection.

Summary: Like all Apex, Good Value but with some caveats

Summary: Not a bad bang for your buck
Review: Compared to similar 27" flatscreen tvs such as the tau and the wega, this one is much larger for ~100 dollars more. Picture isnt quite as clear as the wega or the tau but overall not bad. I'd personally still buy a 27" tau, but thats me.

Summary: Good bang for the buck
Review: I knew about Apex's quality because I have one of their under $... DVD players, so I decided to get their 32in flat screen TV. So far I've had no problems with it and am pleased with its performance thus far. My only complaint is that the design for their remote controls must have been done by some execs 10 year old child;)

Review: This is my first flat screen TV. Picture is crip and clear with good color. For someone who just wants a Flat screen TV without spending a fortune this might be the one.
The remote does lack the ability to code with my Dish Sat. and the instuctions are not the best for programming the remote. But all in all I am pleased with the set until I can afford a more expensive HDTV in the future.
