Summary: Got a great deal thanks to all the poor reviews on here
Review: a guy in the bay area won this TV from a local car dealer and was selling it for cheap partially as a result of poor reviews on here.THANKS Y'ALL THIS TV IS AWESOME and I GOT IT IN THE BOX DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE for ...!!!!!!!!!!! The first thing i did was pick up an apex progressive scan DVD off of amazon, very affordable. The progressive scan makes a difference and is worth it.
This TV is a great value. We replaced a very good quality sony trinitron 27" TV and are very happy. We mostly watch DVD's and very little TV. The picture quality on this baby is impressive. It is also the same depth as my old sony and fit well and looks great in our tv room. In case this matters to you - this is the loudest TV in the world. The volume goes up to 100. The loudest we have gone is 30. Anything beyond that might cause hearing damage. We usually listen to movies at about 12-15. Think Spinal Tap. The TV has done that popping thing once where it makes a popping sound and the screen goes blank for a minute. Luckily I had heard that this is normal for rear projection to do, or we may have paniced - don't worry if this happens. about all the knocks on amazon about it being hard to use - what isn't hard to use? as a tcehnical person i'm always amazed at how hard to use and poorly documented a kids toy can be. particularly if you are putting it together christmas morning and have been up late drinking nog with mrs clause. gave it a 4 and not a 5 because the universal remote and the documentation are weak. but those are minor issues
...
you can't go wrong.

Summary: Get What You Pay For
Review: All in all worth the money, you could pay double and not end up with much better. Mine had a huge dark full hand print inside the screen, just terrible quality control. Called APEX, they could care less so I disassembled the unit to clean the screen and the mirror was just filthy with dust. It's fine now, average color and clarity. Not worth a penny more though.

Summary: TV Good... Apex Service... somewhat less so
Review: Delivery and set up were great! TV worked well right out of the box. The manual provided is a little on the flimsy (poorly translated) side, but I can live with that. The remote problem listed below I suspect is user error. I thought mine was broken as well, then realized that I had to press the "tv" button in order to control the TV. The picture is indeed a bit dark but very good overall. I've had the TV for a month and am very satisfied. However, when I called Apex to report a problem with some bizarre "smudges" on the INSIDE of the screen, I experienced my first real problem with the TV. They had no one in my area who could fix it. I live in Houston. As in Texas. Are you familiar with this place (sarcasm ended)? Anyway, they apologized and promised to get back with me in 2 days. It's now been 7 and counting. I'm still happy with the TV, but uncertain about the company. What good is a warranty if the company doesn't have any way to honor it? And never calls back? The TV was a bargain at $520 (delivered), let's hope it remains so. Ok, let's end on a positive note. My DVD's have never looked better and my wife and I are having a blast on "movie night".

Summary: Terrible Experience
Review: Don't waste your time or money on this one. I ordered this set from Amazon back in Auguest of 2003 and have just now gotten Apex to refund my money. During the 7 months that I've owned the TV, it's been in the shop for 6 1/2 months. The repair shop told me that they replaced 'just about every board there is in the set' and just can't get it to work. They also conveyed their frustration in getting APEX parts which can take a month or two to get sometimes. Overall a terrible experience, with APEX customer service giving me the run-around ever single time I called them. Wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Stay FAR AWAY from APEX.

Summary: Apex GB-4308 43" Projection TV Not What Expected
Review: From the reviews I read, expected this TV to have as good or better quality than my Flat Screen TV. Sound quality is great, but Picture quality is lacking. The horizontal image lines are clearly visible and the picture is somewhat grainy from 8 feet away. Adjusting settings doesn't seem to help. Save your money and get a HDTV set if you want a high quality Projection TV. This one doesn't cut it. I would return this if I could.

Summary: So far so good
Review: Hey, for the dollars I've put out for this. This is one of the best item I've purchased from Amazon.com I've received this TV for only two days. I hear that some says that the TV turns off on it's own and all that other stuffs. Well, mines hasn't yet. I've left it on throughout the night and day. Had to make sure there's no default... you know. Well, I gotta give to APEX this time, they really did come through. The vivid color is good, the appeal is not so bad. Come to thought, maybe to big for my room. j/k! This is some that I am having a problem with though. The remote has all that multifunctions and all. I've programmed other things into, example: VCR, DVD player....etc. It didn't work to well with my sony components. But hey, they tried though.
Anyhow, if you are planning to purchase something like this, I believe it's worth it. Why pay for so much more! Take care. DL

Summary: What a Christmas!
Review: I bought an APEX television for me and my husband for Xmas. Within six weeks the TV went out and from that day on our lives have not been the same. APEX CS is HORRIBLE!! They have given us every song and dance known to man. We bought ours from Fingerhut and neither one of them will help. The two service people they told us to call for APEX do not service my area. APEX says they are only 10 miles from my home and one is 50, the other 40. That's ONE WAY! We had to buy another TV (RCA). We are now having to store the APEX TV and my credit is kaput because of APEX. Fingerhut said they would take it back within six months but I would have to pay shipping of $72. I would throw myself in front of one of these TV's in a store to keep someone from buying one and have the headaches that we have experienced.

Summary: Best value for the price
Review: I bought it at amazon.com two months ago to replace my Sony Wega 27". Very happy with it. Some people mentioned it was too dark for progressive scan DVD player, but I don't have this problem. The picture is bright and clear.
