Audiovox FPE1505

The Audiovox FPE1505 scores 16.3 out of 100 overall, with connectivity at the 6th percentile and HDR at the 13th. It's a 15-inch 1024 by 768 LCD with no HDMI and a 500-1 contrast ratio. Unless you need a VGA port for a retro PC, skip it.

Let's talk numbers. The FPE1505 runs a 1024 by 768 resolution, which is fine for a 15-inch panel but nowhere near the 1080p or 4K you'd get from anything modern. The 500-1 contrast ratio puts picture quality at the 36th percentile, which is mediocre at best. Blacks look gray, and bright scenes wash out fast. The display itself ranks at the 22nd percentile, so even among other small and old LCDs, this one falls behind. Gaming sits at the 17th percentile, and HDR is at the 13th, which is a polite way of saying don't expect any of that.

Audio is the one area that isn't a total disaster. The built-in 2.0 channel speakers with SRS virtual surround sound land at the 42nd percentile, which is about average. You'll hear dialogue fine, but don't expect any rumble. Connectivity is a real weak spot at the 6th percentile, even though it technically has a decent spread of inputs: one composite, one S-Video, one component, one RF, one VGA, and one DVI. No HDMI, which is a problem if you want to hook up anything made in the last 15 years without an adapter.

Stacked against the LG OLED evo OLED55C5PUA, the Hisense U8 Series 65U8QG, or the Sony BRAVIA 5 K55XR50, the FPE1505 isn't even playing the same sport. Those sets have 4K resolution, real HDR, and smart features. The Audiovox has a 500-1 contrast ratio and a DVI port. The TCL QM6K Series 55QM6K and Samsung The Frame Pro LS03HW are similarly light years ahead. But here's the thing: those are all 55 to 65-inch TVs. If you need a 15-inch screen, your modern options are basically portable monitors, and those will beat the FPE1505 on weight, connectivity, and picture quality too. There's no scenario where this wins on specs.

At USD 334 for a single US listing, this thing is a tough sell. The budget score of 22.2 out of 100 says it all. You're paying modern entry-level money for a panel that was entry-level when flip phones were cool. The CAD 533 listing in Canada and JPY 64,803 in Japan don't make it any more appealing. For the same cash, you can find a used 32-inch 1080p set with HDMI and a remote that doesn't feel like it came from a hotel. The only way this makes sense is if you specifically need a small 4:3 LCD with VGA and DVI for an old PC or a niche setup, and even then, thrift stores are your friend.

The Audiovox FPE1505 scores a 16.3 out of 100 overall in our database. That's not a typo. This 15-inch LCD from a bygone era lands in the bottom fifth for social proof and the bottom tenth for connectivity, which tells you most of the story before you even plug it in. It's a 1024 by 768 panel with a 500-1 contrast ratio, and it weighs 6350 grams, so it's not exactly a featherweight either. The best thing we can say is that it exists and it turns on, probably.

At 22.2 out of 100 for budget, it's not even a great deal for the money. The 2.4 out of 5 customer rating across three reviews backs that up. One buyer called it an entry level LCD and seemed okay with that, while another said to forget about HDTV quality entirely. If you're hunting for a cheap kitchen TV or a retro gaming monitor, there are better ways to spend your cash, even at the USD 334 asking price we're seeing.

Anyone who wants to watch modern content should skip this. The 6th percentile connectivity ranking means no HDMI, and the 13th percentile HDR score means no high dynamic range. If you care about picture quality at all, the 36th percentile ranking and 500-1 contrast ratio will disappoint. Gamers should also look elsewhere, given the 17th percentile gaming score. And if you need something portable, the 8.6 out of 100 portable score is one of the worst we've seen. This is not a TV for daily use in 2025.

The data is clear: the Audiovox FPE1505 is a relic. A 16.3 overall score, a 2.4 customer rating, and a 6th percentile connectivity ranking make this one of the weakest TVs we've ever logged. It might work as a nostalgia piece or a dedicated screen for an old computer, but that's about it. Save your money. Even at a garage sale price, you'd be better off with a used monitor and a cheap streaming stick.
