I recently purchased the TuTu 22" LED flat screen non-smart TV, and I am very happy with it! The picture quality is crystal clear (I used the HDMI port to hook up DirectTV), and the overall setup was super easy. The sound quality is surprisingly good for a small TV. What really stood out was the wonderful customer service. I had a question and they were professional, courteous, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was taken care of. It’s rare to find such excellent customer service. I highly recommend this TV. The quality of the TV and the customer support are excellent, and a great price. Read more

Review of the TuTu TV (model TUB22EFN) without the DVD player. Our ceiling-mounted installation is similar to one that you may see used as surveillance camera displays in a store. I needed to install a confidence monitor on the back side of a larger monitor that faced an audience. They would share the same video source via a splitter (I am using a J-Tech Digital HDMI, 4K, 60Hz, 1X4, multi-resolution output splitter). The larger monitor displays the full 1080p source, and I did not want the confidence monitor to reduce the signal down to 720 for both screens. My requirements were simple: An inexpensive monitor in the 20 to 24-inch range that offered an HDMI input, displays a full HD 1080P signal, included a VESA mount and an IR remote control, and was NOT a so-called smart TV. I needed the monitor to turn on and connect to the HDMI input with a single press of a button. A few years back there would have been quite a few options available, but it took some extensive searching to find a currently available model that met these requirements. It seems that most manufacturers have gone all-in on smart TV's which can require interactive navigation to display the desired source, particularly if the power is interrupted. I did try using an Insignia brand smart TV and found its operation annoying and completely unacceptable for my needs. I was skeptical about a monitor from a brand name I had never heard of, but it was about the only unit I could find that met my requirements. The scant information that I found suggested that this TuTu might be a re-badged RCA model (which may resolve some cable/streaming device remote issues). The manufacturer offers a one-year warranty. It seemed prudent in this case to purchase the additional warranty as well. This TV is about as basic as you will find, and a bit of a throw-back with only one port of each type: HDMI in, VGA with 3.5mm audio in, AV in, RF, USB, and 3.5mm earphone. Ther are no loop-thru or ARC ports, and no wired or wireless network connections, but this monitor is an unlikely candidate for the heart of fancy entertainment system. The power plug is permanently connected. The USB media player (text, audio, and photo) supports the following formats: txt, mp3, jpg, jpeg, bmp, and png. It does not support video formats. The housing for the speakers at the bottom of the unit protrudes backward, which restricts access to the downward-facing video inputs (see photos posted by other reviewers). This may be an obstacle for longer stick-type HDMI sources, but this issue could be easily resolved with a short HDMI extension cable. I cannot comment on the sound quality (the most common complaint) since I keep it muted. One of the things that I appreciate about the design is that it includes six separate buttons on the rear of the unit that allow direct access to functions such as volume, channel, source, and menu (see photo). I find this preferable to navigating through menus to access these functions using one of those silly push-button/joysticks that have become so popular on most recent models, and certainly better that than those models that rely entirely on a remote control. The remote control can access most functions directly with one notable exception: It does not offer direct access to a desired input. Instead, you must cycle thru each one. I also would prefer to have separate commands for powering the monitor on and off. Both of these would make programming macros with third party devices much easier. The remote uses NEC format, hex coding: 20DF. The Auto button and the row of colored buttons (see photo) do not apply to this model and do not seem to be programable. The screen has a wide angle of view (about 160 degrees) and is reasonably bright and sharp. It supports select resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz (native), and it is rated at a 5ms response time. These specs may not be ideal for serious gamers, but it is certainly sufficient for casual viewing. So far, this TuTu TV it has been operating for several hours a day for the past three months and I am very happy with it! When it is turned on, it displays the source input within about 10 seconds with no further action required. I may buy another one for field video production work. I may be giving this TuTu TV somewhat higher rating than it actually warrants, but it is one of the best options available for those who have basic needs or requirements, or wish to avoid unnecessary complexity, and I would like to see such options remain available.

Overview: I recieved the TV and immediately noted some nuances about it. 1) The DVD player is not internal, it is an external drive that is attached to the back of the TV 2) The remote is NOT user friendly and overly complex (so if you are thinking of buying this for a senior parent, or are someone yourself who is not tech savvy this is not the TV for you. Function: Unlike most DVD players that are internal, you can't just insert a DVD into this TV and expect it to play, each time a DVD is played you must work through the remote, first change the remote input, then change the TV from antenna, cable, or DVD to DVD. Newer TVs (which I expected this to be) don't typically require this, its a default function if you insert the DVD it plays. Regardless, we opted to keep it and use it as a secondary TV that my mom could watch movies on. This was broadly a mistake, here we are three days after the close of the return window and it doesn't work. intermittently go into a blank screen, switch functions etc.. Not really sure what issue is, but I know that I can't recommend this unfortunately. I do try to give various brands that are lesser known the collegiate try ; it's important for everyone to have an opportunity to access the competitive market no matter how small, or large their brand is, but this one is a miss.

The picture quality is pretty good for the price. The sound quality is a little tinny, but acceptable. The support legs did not attach too well, but again acceptable. As a second TV for a bedroom or as we have it in a bookcase in a small living room, it is fine and a good value for the money. We have it for streaming with a direct connect to a FIRE TV box via an HDMI cable and also use it via an HDMI switch with our DVD player. With the FIRE TV box, we go Bluetooth with external speakers for better sound quality. Read more
