I have a MITS 65" RPTV now - the picture looks great but I will probably never buy another MITS TV again because of bad parts. They have had issues for many years with bad capacitors on their daughter boards causing the PC not to turn on. The daughter board costs between $250 and $400 (plus service) and you have to take your TV apart just to replace it.
My TV had this issue as several of my friends with various MITS TVs. We've all called Mits and they know on the phone exactly what the issue is and tell you what the replacement part is but they ship you the part for free let alone pay for the service.
I ended up finding what capacitors needed replacing and fixed my TV relatively cheaply but that doesn't negate the issue MITS makes defective TVs and doesn't support them. If their TVs were cars they would be recalled by even the crappiest of manufacturers and the issue would be taken care of. Apparently Mits just doesn't care about repeat customers or have any feelings of responsibility to their current customers.
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.
