- I learned from one deaf person who bought this TV that it broke down about a
- month after he got it.
-
- I also found out that stores are not aware that Zenith has this kind of TV
- available. Apparently, this model is sold with or without the built-in
- decoder.
-
- From my point of view, Zenith should be commended for being the first and so
- far the only major TV manufacturer to sell a decoder-ready TV. However, I am
- not crazy about the larger caption font size. Plus the non-smooth roll-up
- captions bother my eyes. Finally, the yellow-colored captions to indicate
- emphasis on particular words takes some getting used to.
