On the other hand, the very cheap prices are attractive. About 6 months ago, I purchased a 15" Coby on sale for $69. It gets daily use in the kitchen and sits in a small space next to the microwave (likely not a good location for digital electronics). It is still working perfectly. We joke each time that we turn it on that we may establish a "new indoor record" for longevity of these cheap sets.
Longevity aside, you get what you pay for... the little set has VERY POOR viewing angle, which is ok in our application but may be a problem for some. I fabricated a small wedge for the stand, to tip the set back about 10 degrees, which helps considerably when we are working in the kitchen. jr PS: my 2007 Sony Bravia (not cheap at the time) is still working fine!
