Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Pros: It works. The picture quality is OK.
Cons: I bought this at Best Buy, along with an Insignia (Zenith) using my two coupons. The difference between this Apex and the Insignia/Zenith are night and day.
On this Apex, the buttons on the remote are not intuitive at all, and I am constantly hitting the wrong ones when I want to change channels or volume. When you do switch channels, this Apex takes several seconds to display anything. It takes so long, you begin to wonder if it just died.
The unit runs very hot. There is a grill on the top and you'd better make sure you don't put anything over it. The power button is very small, and it switches from red to green to indicate on/off... which is OK unless you're color blind like I am. But no problem, if the top feels like a space heater is running, you know it's "on."
When you change volume, you will hear a buzzing or crackling sound thru your TV until the on-screen volume bar goes away. Then, the sound is OK.
The on-screen guide is very small on the screen and difficult to read. There seem to be fewer functions available for the on-screen guide than the Insignia/Zenith unit has. Something about the remote itself feels very cheap and poorly constructed although I have not had a problem with it.
I bought one each of the Insignia/Zenith and the Apex to see if one might be better than the other. The answer is that the Insignia/Zenith is much better. Buy that one instead of this. The price is even the same.
