Amazon.com Product Description
The Akai LCT2701AD combines a vibrantly colorful 27-inch HDTV and DVD player in one stylish and amazingly slim package. The slot-loading DVD player is located on the right side of the set, and it's compatible with both DVD movie and CD audio discs. You'll enjoy 480p, 720p and 1080i high-definition viewing right out of the box thanks to the built-in digital ATSC tuner, which pulls HD signals right from the airwaves. You can also connect the set to an optional receiver or cable/satellite set-top box using either the ' or component connections. A standard analog NTSC tuner receives standard-definition (SD) programming.
The LCT2701AD has a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution, 176-degree wide viewing angle, and a super-fast 8ms (millisecond) response time, which minimizes blurring of moving images and is especially helpful for sports and action movies. It also offers a 550 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating and a 1000:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.)
The 2D comb filter separates chrominance (color) from luminance (brightness) information in the video signal for independent processing to improve picture resolution and minimize distortion. This set also performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, too--a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate picture.
The bottom-mounted speakers produce 7 watts of power per channel for 14 total watts of power. It offers the following connection options:
- Composite AV (RCA): 1 in
- S-Video: 1 in
- Component video: 1 in
- HDMI: 1 in
- PC VGA: 1 in
- RF: 1 in
- Digital audio: 1 coaxial out
Tech Talk
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. It provides up to a 5 GB per second bandwidth for transmitting pure digital video and audio signals with no degradation in the transfer. It can carry up to eight discrete audio channels, making it compatible with 7.1-channel surround sound systems. Signals are encrypted with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) to prevent recording. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with most DVI connections.
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

Say no to Akai. It will only work for a few days........2007-11-18
I bought a Akai LCD TV 3 months ago. It is dead now. No sound and no picture. Their customer service was terrible, also. I will not ever buy this brand any more.
I like the TV.......2007-06-10
We just got the TV last week and had no issues with delivery. It came in on time and had no damage to the packaging. I was not home but my wife hooked it up and it works well. The picture is good & the DVD works. The price with built in DVD was better than I have found any place else. So far I would recomend it. The only issue is I cannot yet get the Dish Network remote to run the TV. We need to use one remote to turn it on and the Dish Network remote to change channels. Hope I can figure it out.
DON'T purchase from WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTORS.......2007-01-16
I have ordered many items through Amazon and have been extremely satisfied. This TV, however, arrived 4 days after expected shipping date and then, would not power on when plugged in. Further investigation showed that the "On/Off" switch was missing entirely from the back of the set. The Akai representative I contacted said to send the TV back, but Worldwide would not accept it. They wanted to have an Akai technician come to my home to see if they could get the TV to work without the switch. This is an $850.00 item with shipping...NOT worth the hassle!!! DO NOT PURCHASE!!!

So Far, So Good.......2007-06-09
I am cheap and have been holding out for just the right deal. I find it difficult to justify 500.00 to 1,000.00 for a 27" LCD TV. The result is that I have been watching the same tube 19" tv in my bedroom for 15 years!
I found this on line as a reman for 369.00 at (...).
The sound is ok. Two speakers under the screen, not dolby 7.1, but ok for the bed room. The picture is great! I also love having a built in DVD player.
Are there better? I am sure there are, however at this price I could not find any. I have read in other user reviews that there is a static sound that comes up. I have found this occationally on the lower analog channels of comcast cable. I unplug the cable box and tv, plug them back in and the problem goes away. It seems to be channel specific. I had comcast out, however they can't find anything wrong. If I just unplug the tv, the problem stays. I do not think this is a tv problem.
I recomend this tv if:
1-You do not mind factory reconditioned
2-You want a combo tv/dvd
3-You are cheap and refuse to pay the inflated prices.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT-BEWARE!!.......2006-10-17
We received the Akai 27 inch LCD TV, refurbished and paid $679.00. It was delivered defective with a loud buzzing noise. The product is not refundable & there is no "LIVE" person to speak with from Amazon. We were informed that we had to go through Akai for repair. We have made dozens of phone calls-It has been three weeks and no one has come to repair the TV- Never buy a refurbished TV and never purchase an Akai product. They make promises,will not let us talk to a supervisor or corporate headquarters. Awful!!
BBB gave Akai an F.......2006-09-08
I've been waiting over a month for customer service on a dead screen. Do not buy Akai. Ask the Better Business Bureau.
--update--
Akai finally found a service center to pick up the TV. The guy was great and was in contact with me the whole time. Unfortunately, Akai took months to get him schematics for the power supply, which wasn't broken. They wouldn't give him anything else. Akai did call Sam's club for us and let us return the TV. STAY AWAY FROM AKAI!
my new Akai.......2006-08-24
I searched all the local stores and could only find a couple of flat screens with a built in DVD player. It seems to me that more would have that feature because the whole point of a flat screen to me is to save space. I put this out in a florida type room and so there wasnt much free space for a table and coventional tv so I thought, flat screen mounted to the wall would be perfect. Then I thought well heck if I have to get a DVD player it has to go on a stand under the tv and there goes my space savings. So a built in DVD player was the answer. WOW what a perfect choice. Beautiful picture, no floor space taken up and built in DVD player. I love it and highly recommend it.
Don't buy this from Amazon.......2006-06-08
Amazon sold this as new, but it was either used or refurbished. (The packaging was not in new condition.) The TV is good, but there is a constant buzzing noise from the speakers. Can be easily mounted using Peerless mount.

Akai LCT2785TA.......2007-11-24
I bought this unit and I sent it back after I received it. The main reason is that it does not work with Directv receiver remotes. I searched the internet and found that many others had the same problem. None of the codes work. The picture quality seemed good but I didn't want to bother with using 2 remotes on this TV- too many remotes in the house already. Another thing I didn't like about this TV was the stand.
BAD BUY.......2007-11-22
This is the worst tv I have ever had. We have sat here every night trying to get it to turn on and it takes forever. Tonight it will not turn on at all, I have had it for only a year.

5 stars because the price is right.......2007-08-22
This TV is very good for the price. Specs include: 8ms repsonse time, 1000:1 contrast ratio, ATSC/NTSC tuner, built in DVD player, HDMI in, and others listed in the description.
Features aside, this TV delivers a solid picture. I put it in my roughly 100 sqft. apartment bedroom and it is much larger than the 13" tube TV it replaced. With only a 2-d comb filter, picture sometimes looks a little washed out, but not too too badly. Plus, the 2-d comb filter is only used on the composite-in and NTSC cable in, nothing else. Motion blurring is non-existent at best, and only a mild nuisance at worst. I was watching a Futurama DVD and when the ship flies by at the start of the intro, it gets a little blurry but not so bad that it is a large distraction.
Preset picture modes are good, and the menu gives you quite a bit of wiggle room for fine tuning the picture, given the price of the TV. The menu also has an audio adjustment feature but this does hardly anything to effect the sound. The speakers are only passable. I recommend using the audio out function as it will give you so much more.
progressive scan DVD player itself is a nice compact slot-loading unit with good controls and a decent picture. The remote is easy to use and has a decent range which is good because this TV is NOT compatible with universal remotes (as far as I know anyway).
In short, this is a good solid TV with nice features for a low price. If you are good at shopping around you may be able to get one of these for the same price as a new xbox 360 premium which, might I add, comes in very clearly and crisply through the HDMI in. It's not going to be a "wonderful change the world amazingly superb ridiculous" TV but it is good enough to warrant the price for frugalists.
===========update=============
I've had this tv for a few months now and I can honestly say that I am even happier with it now than I was before.
First off, the speakers are much nicer than previously indicated. This was because of my mistake. The basic treble and bass EQ of the TV was way off and the surround sound simulator makes things even more complicated. However, after some fine tuning I got some really good lows out of the speakers and some good punch. It can't replace home theatre and I still recommend audio out if you have better speakers (I have a Philips 2.1 set-up) but otherwise they work a lot better than before.
Control over individual red, green, and blue color temperatures are really cool. This is something that isn't offered on a lot of sets but it is a blast to fiddle around with.
Black levels are deeper than expected, seems much better than the indicated 1000:1 contrast ratio but only on YPbPr, HDMI, and DVD. For any signal coming in at 480i it is only so-so.
If I have one complaint about this TV now it is that it gets very very hot. This is one set which should be well ventilated. My parents own a Panasonic 42" plasma, and this tv can get hotter than the plasma after only being on about 30 minutes.
Still, it is extremely reliable and gets a 5 for 5 for exceeding standards both in size and price.
Great value and function.......2007-07-03
I got three of these to run slide shows continuously for display and they've been great. I like the side loading DVD player because it keeps it under 4" thick. The only disadvantage I see is that you have to have the remote to use DVD menus. The button controls on the unit are limited and basically only for the TV functions. Overall it's a great value for the size and functionality for the price!
Excellent Television, and a Great Price!!.......2007-06-27
This TV is exactly what we were looking for. The built-in DVD player is a big plus. We wanted to be able to play our in-house DVD movies on this unit, and I was concerned how, and if, they would play. After reading good reviews elsewhere, I ordered it, and have been very satisfied. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.
I like It........2007-06-10
We just got it last week and it came in on time and in good condition. Since it came all the way across the states I was alittle worried. The TV picture is good and the DVD works. It was easy to hook up. I have not yet got the Dish Network remote to run the TV. Hope I can figure it out. I just have to turn it on with one remote and change the channels with the other. The price was real good from Amazon.
I would recomend it.

akai and service net.......2007-11-24
I bought this tv in april 07. The sound started to go garbled in 4 months. Contacted manufacturer to find only 3 month warranty. I did buy a service contract from SERVICE NET when I bought tv. They had someone pick up the tv and diagnose the problem. $500 to repair. When I tried to get my purchase price refunded from SERVICE NET they told me I had to pay $130 for pick up and diagnostic. My advice to you is stay away from this tv and the thieves at SERVICE NET.
