Elements coax attachment is weak
Cons: weakly designed coax (cable or antenna) connetion, picture is dark when viewed from below
Model Number: ELEFC242
"Elements coax attachment is poorly designed and broke in normal use. They will not cover it because they claim it is external damage. I now see other reviews confirming my experience. I was considering buying another Element model but now i will not buy Element again."

Element 24" Class 1080p LED HDTV cheap = cheap
Pros: price
Cons: get what you pay for
"Will be returning this unit due to poor color rendering. Cannot adjust color as it is either too hot or too cold. Skin tones are off and scenes in low light render with a "negative" or spotty bright light on faces. Very frustrating."

Good deal product
Pros: good picture easy screen set up.
Cons: directions for setting up the remote.
Model Number: ELEFC242
"Unit delivered in a timely manner. Good picture and size for area being used. Good information with the set-up with the exception of the remote directions. They were pretty vague. I would buy this again. No written warrantee came with the product. I will rely on Costco's past performance."

Weak coaxial connection
Pros: did'nt get to try it
Cons: poor quality connector for coaxial cable
Model Number: elef c242

didn't get to try it
Pros: price
Cons: durability
Model Number: ELEF C242
"Bought online and assembled. While trying to attach coax cable, attachment nipple broke off set. Coax is stiff and you really ought to have the nipple straight off the back instead of tight to the TV body. I can't get anything without cable. Returned to warehouse, they gave me a refund and I found and bought a nice 22" Visio there for $10 more.
The Visio has real metal parts and the whole bottom edge supports the unit. Guess I will look in person before taking a price online next time. Costco was as good as their word."

New Element TV Adequate
Cons: sound
Model Number: ELEFC242
"The new 24" Element TV is alright. Nothing great. We bought it to use in our kitchen in our summer home, so it is adequate for that use. The picture is pretty good, but the sound is really terrible. I sort of expected that because I had read other reveiws and they said the same thing. So if you are looking for a little TV with good sound, don't buy this one! Had to call Costco consierge service to help me set it up and they were helpful. So, all in all I'd give it 3 stars."

Slick little TV
Pros: picture and very lightweight
Cons: sound quality
Model Number: ELEFC242
"We were looking for a replacement flat screen in our master bedroom and came across this TV. We are quite happy with the picture quality. I would recommend that you consider an alternate sound source. We hooked up some multi-media speakers (there is a headset plug-in provided on the TV) and that remedied the issue."

Not for Mac owners
Pros: tilt swivel base, bright screen
Cons: no mac hdmi sound, 1080p crops screen at top for mac via hdmi, poor menu controls, side controls hidden and hard to see
Model Number: ELEFC242
"This Element TV is not good for Apple Mac owners! I bought this 24 inch model to use as a monitor for my Mac Mini. The HDMI cable works with other HD TVs, both video and sound at 1080p. The Element won't allow sound via the HDMI cable. And, 1080p crops 5 percent of the screen and underscan controls won't compensate; so no toolbar at top of screen! The Element TV works with Apple TV, but not Mac computers via HDMI cables. I am returning the Element!"

Excellent TV
Pros: american made
Model Number: ELEFC242
"The shipping was very quick, arrived in good condition. I am extremely happy with this TV, sound and picture are excellent. Very easy instructions to set up and get going. I have already put a blurp on FaceBook and told everyone that it was not only a good TV, but that it was American made, which made it even better."

Good picture, Poor sound
Pros: price
Cons: poor sound quality, remote codes don't work with fios, non standard model
Model Number: ELEFC242
"I purchased this TV for a bedroom, and for that purpose, it is OK. I am disappointed with the tinny sound quality. I am also not able to program it to work with my Verizon FIOS remote control, despite trying all the codes listed on Element's site and Verizon's site. There is a "Remote Codes" update on the Element Support pages, but it does not apply to this model. In fact, I cannot even find this exact model listed on the Element Support pages (ELEFC242). Perhaps, it is special model just for Costco. I will contact Element directly to resolve the remote programming issue, and try to figure out exactly what model this TV actually is."

Needed a Monitor
Pros: nice clear picture
Cons: doesn't tilt for a better view
"I purchased this as a computer monitor so was disappointed to find out there were no computer chords that came with this. I had to use some off our old monitor, but the audio chord could not be used. We are rather remote and can't just make a quick run into town to get a chord. It seems that if it is sold as a monitor, it should come with the necessary chords."

Would not recommend as a monitor
Cons: not as a monitor
Model Number: elefc242
"I bought 2 of these to serve as monitors but unfortunately with the default resolution of 1920x1080 the picture overflowed the screen so about .5 inch was not visible. There is an advanced setup feature that can be used to fix this unfotunately it is not available in HDMI mode. So I had to decrease the resolution to fit the display, but that means less real estate. The stand is also pretty cheesy. Going to exchange for a couple of Samsungs."

"This tv is easy to install,has a decent picture, sound could be better but for this price I do not mind the sound being a bit poor.
