Hello again, my name is Rodney Reynolds and welcome to another video review. Today, I am looking at the Contec 6-inch Advanced TFT LCD Monitor/TV Tuner. What is included in this package is a power cable that goes connected right into your vehicles cigarette lighter, the standard power connection, which goes right into your home outlet, an audio/video cable, a cable adapter, earphones, as well as a remote control and a stand here which has a swivel top and there is also a rubber mount. This is sticky on both sides. If you don’t want to screw it down, you can just stick it to the stand and stick the stand almost anywhere. Included as well is a user manual, as well as the color LCD Digital Monitor and TV.
At the front of the unit at the very top left is the remote control receiver and here is the LCD, the left speaker and the right speaker are here. And in the center, there are number of buttons, channel increase and decrease, volume increase and decrease; you have a menu, a TV/AV and the power button.
At the back of the unit at the bottom left is the Antenna Jack. Here is where you connect the audio, video, earphone jack and the 12-volt DC input jack. At the very top, there is also a telescopic antenna.
Now, let us have a closer look at the remote control. At the very top left is a Mute button. At the very top right is the Power button. You can increase the channel, decrease the channel, increase the volume or decrease the volume and in the center you’ve got the Menu button.
At the left is a Picture Pattern button and you got five combinations here to choose from Standard, Vivid, User, Save and Soft and here is the number pad. At the right you have Display Channel Number. That will actually display the channel number on the screen at the very top right. You can also Flip the screen vertically, horizontally. There are also three games on this, a Sleep timer. You can also switch between AV and the TV and a Recall button.
Within the menu, you got a number of options, Picture, Sound, System, Clock and Calendar. First of all Picture, within here you can adjust the Brightness, the Contrast, the Color, the Sharpness and the Tint. Within the Sound, you can adjust the Volume as well as the Speaker Balance. Within the System, you get a number of Language options, you can turn the Background on and off if the picture are not so good, you can actually adjust the Color System. And within the Clock area, you can set the time. We also got a number of Timer options. And finally, within the Calendar area, you can change to whichever month is current.
Since this unit does have audio/video inputs at the back, you can put just about anything, audio, video wires into this. I have it right now connected into my PC and you can use it as an extended desktop as you can see or just use it as your primary one.
Now, I wouldn’t recommend you do that because the quality on this is very, very poor when it comes to reading small fine text. The resolution though can go all the way up to 1024x768. Now reading small text on this is pretty much impossible. However, you can play games on this. This is of course only a 6 inch screen but it does a fairly good job at that.
And of course you can watch TV on this unit as well.
This unit really does have a lot of options. You can plug it directly into your vehicles cigarette lighter. You can plug it into your home. It’s got an antenna. You can of course watch TV on this and pretty much plug anything into it, audio/video wires.
Now the product itself is not really super high quality but it is fairly inexpensive. Overall, this product has great value.
