DIRECT TV SATELLITE CODE FOUND
by capnkj2 ,Dec 04 '06
Pros: Picture is okay, cheap price. Nice to look at? Cons: Channel changing takes too long.
Breaks easily.
Indeed, this tv seems to have its share of problems--it takes like 20 seconds to change channels. However, and I'm not sure if this is the same code for ALL ILO televisions, I have found the remote control code that powers on/off the t.v and changes the volume. It's 221. Hope that helps and good luck with your piece of crap t.v.

720p is the max on this
by minioninnc ,Nov 18 '05
Pros: Pic is great, clarity is nice. Cons: 720p max, if you want 1080p or i, you better get something else.
I have been checking all over the place for something that would tell me what resolution this would display and the max is 720p. So therefore if you have 1080i you can forget displaying in that resolution.

Don't bother
by barkway ,Jan 01 '06
Pros: none Cons: too many to list
There is no remote control code for this TV for DirecTV satellite. It does not come with a VGA cable to use it as a PC monitor and if you use the S-video instead, there are no controls for the display settings and the sound is royally messed up (when you can finally figure out how to get it). There is no customer service....at least none listed in the documentation that comes with it....not even a name or number for the manufacturer. There are better products out there for the money. Searching the Internet for any helpful info on this product produces nothing. Glad I got this as a gift and didn't spend my own money on it!

Disappointed
by shawslaw69 ,Mar 17 '06
Pros: Looks nice, that's about it. Cons: Speakers weak, picture not so great, weak construction.
I was looking forward to this product after reading the reviews but was very disappointed. The picture was OK but one of the speakers just hummed. The connection to the base also seemed a little weak. I paid $696.00 for this item, all I can say is "I'm glad I kept my receipt!", because it went right back to Walmart.

excellent tv
by msmith198025 ,Jan 09 '06
Pros: great picture, easy to use, stylish Cons: none yet
I got this at wal mart in waynesboro mississippi, and was impressed right out of the box. Set up is a breeze, and picture quality is excellent. I just hooked up a hd tuner and was blown away. I have since checked comparable lcd's at best buy and other electronic stores, and found ILO to be the equal if not better of any i have seen. For those wondering, ILO is a wal mart in house brand manufactured by the same companies that make lcd screens for the well known brands.

Couldn't be more DISAPPOINTED...
by dphow ,Jun 09 '06
Pros: Picture is good but not worth having for under a year. Cons: Not functional...More like DYSfunctional!
Yes this has a nice enough picture for the price, but if that picture lasts less than a year then you are in for a big surprise when you realize your warranty (labor) is only good for 90 days. Labor is where these service centers make their money.
Needless to say I will not be buying another one in the near future. Toshiba here I come!!!

ilo 26" HDTV, Xbox 360 approved
by aztecmc ,Aug 30 '06
Pros: Cheap HDTV! Many inputs, Free HD channels, superior Video Game graphics, sleep mode, cool menu's Cons: Annoying speakers, but I use surround mostly.
This TV displayed all of my basic cable channels in HD for free, though a few channels are barely visible, but that was cool. I tried Xbox, Xbox 360 and both looked true Hi-Def. Before, I played Xbox through VGA via PC monitor, which looked cool, but this TV obliterates VGA. I never knew Oblivion&Call of Duty 2 had sand/rock textures! DVD's via Xbox 360 were kinda fuzzy cuz the TV downconverts them to 480p and it's a 720p TV, but they are still enjoyable.
This TV doesn't seem 'pixely' but still is an LCD, so the blacks will be backlit. This TV is the Cheapest HDTV of this caliber and weighs nothing. I haven't tried the HDMI, but I will soon.

No Remote Code for Direct TV Satellite
by daveinwagener ,Aug 09 '06
Pros: Good picture - sharp - clear Cons: Speaker have "tinny" sound
A real pain - no remote code for ilo - one must be a "two-fisted" television viewer. But then - maybe Direct TV Satellite should get with the program and develop a code. If you have uncovered a workable code - please post it here in the reviews section. Otherwise, set is great so far!

My ILO Nightmare
by myangels7 ,Jun 09 '06
Pros: Looks good. Cons: BAD durability (8 mo's then KA-POOT)!
I found this Ilo 26" LCD TV to be POOR when it comes to durability because mine only lasted 8 mo's before it wouldn't power on. There is a stand-by light that used to be solid red and even it went out (Yes it is still plugged into a safety circuit power strip. I never take the chance with lightening or power surges. I value my computers and televisions. I have tried another working electrical outlet therefore I know that my ILO TV that went bad. I wish the warranty would have been for a year but it only lasts for 90 days which is the same warranty as Walmart, where I purchased it. I do not feel like buying this TV every 8 mo's because ILO doesn't stand behind it's own products with a better warranty. Therefore my next purchase will be from a reputable mfg company such as MAGNAVOX, JVC, SHARP, Samsung ETC....They have always been more durable than ILO!!! (I have had a Samsung LCD TV in my kitchen for 1.5 years and it's still tickin'.)

The best deal this year for a large screen HDTV monitor.
by joevegas ,Dec 20 '05
Pros: cheap price,high quality,adjustable sound and pixel clock. Cons: speakers weak and have no bass, would like to set higher than 1280x768.(more desktop).
Writing this on my new ILO 26 inch. The clarity and colors are vibrant and clear. I had to adjust the pixel clock upon install, after doing so the text is clear with little blurring. i thought with a larger size and cheap price i would see a great loss in pixel quality compared to my comparably priced 19 inch. the clarity and vibrance is better! i purchased the extended warranty given by walmart to insure i have a quality monitor. ILo is a new name and i dont know their durability.
DVDs look sharp and color is accurate.
The built in speakers however are weak and have no bass. im using my surround anyway so it doesnt bother me. speakers are more than enough for surfing and clip viewing.
refresh rate for gaming is great im running battlefield 2 on a geforce 6800 gt oc.
this is a great monitor and should be picked up at this incredibly low price!

JUST SAY NO TO ILO!!!
by kellygirl7 ,Jun 10 '06
Pros: Great Picture. Cons: Died 6 mo's after I purchased from WalMart.
Well this was a traumatic learning experience for me. I am a single mom who thought buying this inexpensive TV would be saving my bank account. I barely live from payday to payday. Six months later the darn thing quit working. I thought I would be saved by the warranty, until I read it. Only the parts are covered for a year. Yes folks, it is true that the labor is not covered after 90 days. I will be reading the warranties from now on before buying something that appears to be cheap. I saved my extra cash for 6 mo's to buy this tv and now regret my decision to buy ILO. I should have known that you get what you pay for.
JUST SAY NO TO ILO.
