Philips 7-Inch Digital TV Clock Radio AJL750/37 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The vertical height when the screen frame is down is 9.5 inches. I went to Best Buy and measured it.
I have been researching all of the available under-cabinet TV-clock-radio units, and none seem to provide this specific dimension.

I am looking for one for my home office. I have 7.5" between the bottom of a wall shelving unit and the surface of my desk, which would put the TV at eye level behind and to the right of my computer. That way I can watch my favorite night time shows and still get some work done.

The screen itself is 3 5/8" X 6"; kind of small, but that could be okay if the res is sharp. The BB demo was not hooked up, so I could not evaluate the resolution.

My current setup is a 5 year old BusLink LCD TV connected to my cable hookup through an adapter into the A/V input jack. A wireless headset is also plugged into the TV so that I can walk around the house and still listen to the show.

From this configuration I have learned a few things. The TV needs a direct and firm cable connection. Running it through an adapter into an A/V jack just weakens the signal too much. Sometimes the signal to the BusLink is perfect [only after having run the cable through a Motorola Signal Booster] and sometimes the image and sound are 95% static and snow, usually somewhere in between. Sometimes a slight turn of the connection seems to help; sometimes not. Some channels are better then others. So, a direct and firm cable connection is an absolute necessity.

I have also learned to take a close look at the remote. Most of the under-cabinet pics provided do not show a close-up of the device. My BusLink remote has blisters for buttons. In time, they tend to dry up and pop, making them useless, so that I have to reach forward to the TV itself to, for instance, change to a higher channel (the CH- blister is still intact).

So, the remote must have real buttons that cannot wear out and the coax cable hookup must be built in. This Philips TV seems to have both of those features, but it will not fit into my 7.5 inch vertical space.
