RCA 24F512T 24-inch TV

Date Published: 10/26/07

The RCA 24F512T is a 24-inch TV that is combines a useful feature list with an affordable price.

The standard-format screen has a flat surface that reduces glare and reflections, and it is set in an attractive silver cabinet that has flanking stereo speakers. The 24F512T is an analog TV (not compatible with HD), with a decent picture that is adequate but not stunning. The color can be adjusted to cool, warm, or normal settings, and four video presets allow quick readjustments for different types of content.

The internal audio system boasts MTS stereo, and four audio presets are available to optimize the audio for different types of programs. The 24F512T has a rather unusual feature unique to RCA: an on-screen notepad that displays a user-input message at a preset time or whenever the TV is turned on.

The 24F512T's input choices are limited, with front composite video inputs and rear composite video and S-video inputs. A video output and RF input are also present. The simple 31-button remote control is compact and refreshingly easy to operate.

Other convenience features of the RCA 24F512T include sleep and on timers, a front-panel lock, and a favorite channel list that can remember five stations.



Warranty
90 days labor, 1 year parts, 2 years picture tube
