CNET product brief

Description: The Funai Sylvania CD130SL8 is a 13-inch, combo television.Compared to other combo TVs on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $165.

Pros: Comes with a built-in DVD player.

Cons: Only has mono sound, which is considerably less favorable than some similarly priced TVs.For example, the Coby TV-DVD1390, a 13-inch TV at around $150, has stereo sound.Also, this TV has only a 13-inch screen size.This is not out of line with the product's price, but is smaller than the average TV on the market today.

Suitability: A combo TV, suited for home entertainment.

Value: In general, this TV's features seem a bit weak, even for its relatively inexpensive price.However, this unit could be a good choice if you do not own a separate DVD player.

Suggestions: (1) For help in understanding the various types of TVs and their features, see the TV buying guide at CNET Reviews.(2) If donating or repurposing your old TV is not a viable option, CNET encourages households to recycle their electronics.Please explore the following website to find a recycling center in your area Electronics Take Back Coalition.
