Not a bad monitor, but not the best either!
I bought this monitor because it was only a few bucks more than the 17" ultrasharp.Hey, it's 19" so I went for the bigger one!Well, this monitor is ok in clarity, not as crisp as I would like.Not a bad monitor if you don't use your pc for much more than internet.Text is not as clear as I would like.
The downfall is that they do not have flat panel speakers available for this "entry" level monitor.I don't like looking at the cluncky looking speakers next to the sleek monitor, so I've decided to exchange it for the ultrasharp monitor that has flat panel speakers available.

Also if you like to play games, you will want the higher model Ultrasharp.There are many complaints on the Dell chat boards about this model. E193FPIf you can't afford the 19" ultrasharp, then go for the 17" ultrasharp- but don't get this model because of the size!

Awesome monitor!
Out of the box, this monitor displayed fuzzy text and muddy colors. Then I found out that LCD monitors are *VERY* picky about resolution. Once I set WinXP graphics options to output at this LCD's native resolution (1280x1024), it was awesome. Crisp and clear text, and eye-popping color. My 5yr old CRT is no match for this beauty.

Great monitor for the price!
This is a great LCD monitor for the price. The clarity is good, andit doesn't take up too much space on your desktop!

The worst monitor.
Never even bother buying this monitor. If you don't beleive my words go look at dell forums on this model monitor. I am having hard time to get rid of this monitor for my self.

Sharp's ASV panel offers exceptionally wide horizontal andvertical viewing angles, so you can watch TV from anywhere in the room.

The 4:3 aspect-ratio screen provides a higher contrast ratio and widerviewing angles than conventional LCD screens--500:1 and a full 170 degreesviewing angle, vertical and horizontal--while its black TFT anti-glare coatingmakes it bright enough to view its rich colors with ease, even in well-litrooms. This is an EDTV monitor, which means it's a step closer tohigh-definition or HDTV than standard TVs. When used with a progressive-scanDVD player (or 480p-output DTV set-top box) you'll get seamless, razor-sharpimages from your favorite movies and concert videos.

Sharp's flat-panels are a fraction of the width oftraditional CRT TVs.

With the LC-20B4U-S's NTSC, PAL, and SECAMcompatibility, you can view video sources from the U.S., Western Europe, andEastern Europe, and all will appear properly formatted, provided you have theproper region decoding for any DVD sources. The screen offers 480 x 640 (VGA)resolution.

AQUOS TVs strive for a high level of energy efficiency.

AQUOS LCD TVs are Energy Star compliant devices, and consume up to 60% lesspower than CRT systems, and about half as much power as comperable plasmaTVs.

Perfect for small area
I received my 20" Aquos yesterday.I was sceptical because I got such a great deal on it but was pleasantly surprised by the slim profile, modern look, and portability.I originally planned to put the unit on a reticulating bracked but I love the stand so much that I put it on a glass shelf instead.The picture is great but I would suggest using component video or s-video since the co-axial cable doesn't bring out the full potential of the LCD screen.The sound is slightly tinny but that's to be expected from such a small output.Overall, a great buy and I will definitely suggest this TV to anyone in the market for a smaller LCD display.

Great for the bedroom
If you are looking for something for the living room (i.e., as your main TV set), 20" just won't cut it.It's just too small for today's modern human eyes.For a typical living room, the minimum TV should be a 37" Panasonic plasma set.42" is another good choice, although for most people 50" would be an overkill.

This Sharp 20" NTSC TV is perfect for the bedroom.It takes up very little space on the nightstand, and it sports sharp and high-contrast image quality, making watching TV pleasant rather than eye-straining.This model is not widescreen, but that's ok for me because at 20", widescreen would have made images too small for me.This model is also not HDTV, but rather EDTV (extended definition), which it means it fully supports progressive-scan DVD playback.Hook this up to a progressive scan DVD player -- I have the super-compact CyberHome model I got at Radio Shack for $45 -- and you'll get some great-looking DVD movies in your bedroom.

As a secondary TV for your bedroom or kitchen or study, this Sharp delivers great quality and great value.

Just bought one and am THRILLED!
I'm so thankful I didn't let the cryptic bad reviews of this product deter me from my instinct to purchase it.The picture is fabulous - the colors are incredible, the picture crisp.The sound is excellent.Plus all the other features (weight, portability etc) mentioned in other reviews.We have no problems with a noisy power box - and I was ready to hear something based on some previous comments.So perhaps Sharp has fixed that issue!We simply couldn't be more pleased - and the price can't be beat!

Dont buy this!
You will regret buying this.its too overpriced and mine is lame.its fuzzy.

mine's disappointing
I have the same tv in a slightly different size.The picture has a dark shadow down the middle. It's terribly annoying. ... Read more

Top notch monitor
I took this monitor out of the box, connected it to the computer and it has worked flawlessly from the beginning.I use AutoCAD software daily and this monitor has a very clear picture so I don't have to zoom in and out constantly.I've got the screen set to the maximum resolution and the only problem I see is when I select an item, the oblect selected shimmers, but that's a minor issue.

Let me say one thing before I start… WOW!!
First Impressions of New Samsung 243t 24 Inch Widescreen Monitor

Let me say one thing before I start… WOW!!

Every LCD monitor that I had looked at before turned me off because none were as bright as my beloved Sony 19 inch CRT monitor.

The Samsung 243t, First Impressions …

 Screen brightness… WOW… very bright, more so then my Sony 19 inch CRT.
 Fonts… very bright and VERY sharp; crystal clear to be exact.No compromise here.
 Viewing angle… much better then I imagined for an LCD, can view it from all normal angles.Yes, there is some fall-off at very wide angles but even here it is much less then I thought there would be.
 Swiveling the monitor on the base stand… Forward, Back, Tilt way back, Raise the whole monitor up and down, Rotate 90 degrees for portrait mode; it does it all thanks to the new detachable VESA compliant universal base.What a wonderful design.
 Bad pixels… At first I could find none, but after a couple of days of looking at different colored screens I finally found one… a red one that was turned on, directly under the Win XP Start button so it is not an issue at all as it is completely invisible with Windows running.
 Does it handle TV correctly?You bet!Using MC’s Aspect Ratio called “Crop” (not “Crop Edges”) all TV is viewed full screen and full width without any stretching or distortion at all.Crop automatically blows up standard 4:3 aspect ratio so there are no black borders on the sides and it removes the top and bottom black borders on letterbox or HDTV images.
 Response time… this is where most LCD monitors fall down with fast moving objects such as games.The Samsung does pretty well here. In fact, PC Game web site tested it and declared this monitor to be the perfect game monitor.They said you have not really played a game until you do it on a large, widescreen monitor.One of the fastest LCD monitors available is the NEC 2180UX 21 inch (4:3 aspect ratio), it has a response time of just 20 milliseconds.The Samsung 24 inch widescreen is only 25 milliseconds, pretty impressive for a 24 inch widescreen with 1200 x 1920 pixels.

In addition to the widescreen, what really impressed me right out of the box is the brightness and crystal clear, tack sharp image.I did not know that LCD’s have gotten this good.I have heard that in the last year or so there have been big improvements in LCD monitors.

I am getting fantastic image quality using only analog (ATI A-I-W 9600 Pro video card).I have heard that it is even better when connected digital (video card has to have digital output, not all do).

I was looking at three different big-screen monitors… NEC 2180UX 21.3 inch, standard aspect ratio, Sony PremierPro 23 inch windscreen, and the Samsung 243t 24 inch widescreen.All are great monitors.

 Although the NEC is a wonderful monitor, it is not wide screen and I really wanted that.
 The Sony has been out for over a year and is starting to show its age a little (only 40 milliseconds response time and only 350:1 contrast ratio).Also, the Sony seems to be having a quality control problem with a lot of bad pixels.Some users have reported as many as 15 bad pixels on the Sony.
 The Samsung is brand new with the latest technology (25 milliseconds response time, 500:1 contrast ratio) and that fantastic universal base).

I read a report where a guy found the Sony and the Samsung in a store, side-by-side.He played with the controls for over an hour on both monitors.He bought the Samsung as no matter how hard he tried he could not make the Sony look as bright as the Samsung.

As I write this (in Word) I am using the monitor swiveled 90 degrees for portrait mode.I can see 1 and ½ full pages; how simply wonderful.

The Samsung 243t Widescreen, after a week or two of getting some real world use...

Now that I’ve had a couple of weeks to get used to the Samsung Widescreen, I have noticed some real world differences between LCD’s and CRT’s.Some things that I used to take for granted are no longer an issue or are vastly improved over CRT monitors; such as…

• My fears about switching to a widescreen for my computer monitor were totally unfounded…

o MC and all other software expands nicely to fit the new format with a LOT more room for everything.
o My concerns about TV on a widescreen monitor was a non-issue; the black borders I was concerned about on the sides of a standard 4:3 TV image are very clean with no artifacts.
o The black borders on the sides of a standard 4:3 TV image can be totally removed with MC TV’s Aspect - ‘Crop” command (not the Crop edges option).It does not stretch the image as ATI’s Aspect controls do (causing distortion of the image), but rather it ‘zooms’ the image so the side borders go off the screen.This does make some of the top and bottom of the image go off the screen but is a very good compromise until real widescreen comes to all households in a year or two.
o One thing that did came as a surprise to me was that letterbox images do not automatically fill the screen but have black borders all around… top, bottom, left and right.I had just assumed that letterbox TV images would automatically fill the screen; but after seeing a letterbox image on my widescreen monitor I saw what was happening.The TV station was sending out a standard 4:3 aspect ratio TV signal which included a letterbox movie within it so it was on the screen as a 4:3 image.MC’s TV’s Aspect - ‘Crop” command did the trick and expanded it to full screen thereby filling the whole screen with a non-distorted widescreen image.
o Even with MC’s TV’s Aspect - ‘Crop” command, some real widescreen images that TV stations transmit will still leave a very thin black border along the top and bottom of the screen; that is because most letterbox images are 16:9 aspect but for some reason all widescreen computer monitors are 16:10 aspect ratio hence the thin black borders left over.This is something that MC needs to address.
• Much faster turn on after a Win XP standby start up.
• The screen does not come on faint at boot up (like CRT’s) but seems to come on at normal color; in other words there is no ‘warm up’ time required.
• The image does not shift in size as the screen warms up like a CRT does.
• There is no need for ‘tweaking’ the screen size and position settings as it is done automatically by use of the ‘Auto’ button which works extremely well indeed.
• A full screen image with a thin line running all the way around it (a border) will be precisely positioned and well centered on the screen with the thin border just inside the screen bezel; it will be straight and precise.No matter how hard I tried, I could never achieve that for very long on any CRT monitor. On a CRT, even when I could precisely position such an image on the screen some of the thin border would always bow out of the image and hide behind the bezel as the line was not really true and straight due to the CRT gun scanning in an arc and the different thickness of the glass tube surface.
• As there is no more screen behind the bezel (like CRT’s) the screen size is precise and very well known so the video card only has to provide the exact number of pixels that the screen needs.So, when you set up the screen size in Windows to 1200x1920 the video card produces that exact amount of pixels and the LCD reads that exact size (1200x1920).This is why the ’Auto’ feature works so well.
• There is absolutely no pincushion, barrel, trapezoid, non-linearity, or any other kind of distortion that needs to be adjusted. This is because there is no ‘gun’ (as in a CRT) scanning in an arc that needs to be controlled and adjusted.Furthermore, these controls are not needed and are not present which greatly simplifies the setting up of a LCD monitor.
• Brightness… I was very pleasantly surprised in this area as I had always thought that LCD’s were dimmer then a bright CRT.A lot of things have been improved in LCD design in the last year or so.This LCD is actually much brighter, and with better contrast then any CRT that I have used.
• The screen does not ‘wash out’ as brightness and/or contrast are turned up as most CRT’s do.There seems to be much better control over the contrast then on a CRT.
• Contrast ration is very good (500:1).
• Due to the high contrast ratio, blacks are really black; in fact when the screen is turned off it appears to be almost totally black and not the dark grey of most CRT’s.I think this may be because there is no shadow mask screen or thick glass for the light to travel through and become weakened.There is only a thin black plastic screen between the LCD’s and you.
• Much thinner bezel surrounding the screen as there is no screen area behind the bezel that has to be covered as there is in all CRT’s monitors.
• The only negative side to LCD’s has to do with the backlighting…
o CRT’s are notorious for having ’spotty’ brightness especially on a full screen of a bright color such as white; this is due to many reasons including the gun scanning in an arc, the electron beam striking the shadow mask at more of an angle near the edges, and the different thickness of the surface of the glass CRT tube all leading to light fall off near the corners and edges.
o I thought that would be a thing of the past with a LCD as there is no electron gun, no shadow mask, and no scanning in an arc; but there are back lights and no matter how hard the manufacturers have tried there will always be some slightly lighter and darker areas of the screen as current back light technology simply is not as uniform as one would hope for.What you see on an LCD monitor is a slight ‘shimmering’ of light as you move your heard at different angles to the screen.Some of this is due to backlighting fall off over the screen surface.
o There is hope for the future in a new type of backlighting using not fluorescent as the light source, but an array of LED’s (Light Emitting Diodes).LED backlighting on an LCD monitor may be about a year away but the test that I have seen looks very promising so far.Such a monitor is brighter, has better contrast, and much more saturated colors, the overall effect is very positive.The nice thing about LED backlighting is that current assemble lines can use it on new LCD monitors at very little additional manufacturing assembly cost (the actual LED backlighting may be more expensive).
• All in all, most of my fears about LCD’s have been put to rest; needless to say, I’m one happy camper.

Mediocre performer and way over-priced
Not only is this an average performer but it's way over-priced.Monitors from HP and Sceptre have better image quality as well as cost a lot less.

Samsung SyncMaster 243T 24" LCD Monitor
I recently purchased this 24" widescreen LCD monitor for my Dell Dimension 8250 desktop computer. I use an ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 256 for a graphic card. I've had this Samsung monitor for 2 weeks now ... WOW is the first description I give it! I compared it to the Sony PremierPro SDM-P232W/B 23" LCD monitor. They both are excellent LCD monitors, but I preferred the Samsung simply because it has a much brighter display and higher contrast ratio. The clarity is incredible too! I believe it would be a challenge to find a better widescreen LCD monitor for the same investment! This is a great monitor for professional graphics, CAD, and other demanding applications which is how I use it. If you are a gamer you will absolutely love it too!. You cannot go wrong with this purchase especially since I believe you get more for you money with Samsung products. I have a Samsung 32" Widescreen HDTV that I've had for more than 2 years which I absolutely love as well! This LCD offers a 1,920 x 1,200 maximum resolution in both DVI and analog, 16.7 million colors, and 0.27 x 0.27 mm dot pitch, onscreen images are crisp and accurate, while 270 cd/m2 of brightness and a 500:1 contrast ratio, this is a brighter monitor than the Sony I compared it to. The onscreen menus allow you to adjust a number of monitor settings, including brightness, contrast, H/V position, color temperature, and much more. I rate this Samsung widescreen LCD monitor highly to anyone wanting an excellent display! If I could I'd give it a higher star rating! ... Read more

Good LCD, good price!
In the beginning I too was surprised by the fuzziness, colors, etc... but after dealing with adjusting all kinds of settings, and reading the reviews I narrowed the problem down to the video card, the old VGA only video card just won't do it, it's like having an elder driver trying to drive a brand new Ferrari, if you haven't gone digital (DVI) yet, do it! Just wish I had waited for the new Samsung SyncMaster 910t 19" LCD Monitor Silver (www.ipkonfig.com/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=164&Itemid=29&limit=1&limitstart=0), although next time I may go for a new xtreme formac 19" LCD (http://www.formac.us/p_bin/?cid=solutions_displays_gallery1900_011) for my gaming PC

Great monitor and a great buy
We shopped thoroughly online and at Best Buy, Circuit City (how do they stay in business?), etc. before buying two of these monitors to replace CRT dinosaurs. Couldn't be happier. Love the pivot capability -- mine's pivoted for good -- enabling me to see entire Word documents at once and whole web pages without scrolling. Great color and clarity, comparable to the higher resolution 21" screens that cost twice as much.

Very Nice, Good Price
I use this with Windows XP at the native resolution and it is quite sharp and bright with good color.In my opinion Samsung's choice of 1280x1024 resolution is the best for this size monitor.XP
has difficulties rendering readable fonts at higher resolutions, and 1280x1024 allows for legibility without the problem of microscopic font sizes.The pivot feature is pretty slick, and would be useful for editing word docs in page layout format.

resolution is too low for this size display!
I bought this monitor for my girlfriend and the first thing she tried to do was to increase the resolution.I couldn't blame her because 1280 x 1024 on a 19" LCD is just not small enough.It's like being on 800x600 on what you are used to on a CRT.My recommendation is that 1600x1200 is MINIMUM on a 19"!!!!!!!!

Fuzzy Text?CHECK NATIVE RESOLUTION!
This applies to all LCD monitors regardless of analog or digital inputs.

I've talked to to many people who have complained about the fuzziness of their monitors, and it was all because they did not have it set to the native resolution.

All LCD monitors have a Native Resolution.This means every pixel generated by the computer is represented by a pixel on the monitor.If you don't have it set to the native resolution,the text will ALWAYS be fuzzy.

This monitor supports a native resolution of 1280 x 1024.Make sure you have your video card, display/monitor control panel set to this before making any adjustments.

If the option is not available, you may need to upgrade your video card, drivers.... or computer!

As for this particular monitor and brand, samsung is leading the way in LCD technology, their LCD TVs will soon be the standard, especially if Sony continues to use older style LCD technology. ... Read more

Check before you buy at a store.
I purchased this beautiful moniter to find it had a bright blue dead pixel near the center of the screen. $550 for a brand new state of the art LCD that looks tacky when displaying black. I installed it after Amazons 30 day return policy, so as with the person below , I'm stuck with a less than ideal moniter. Sad.

Great View, but bad support
I was headed to Fry's to buy a different monitor when I saw this one and loved it. Great color, brilliant picture and a fast response time and not much more money. Unfortunately Fry's was out of stock, in fact all of CA Frys were out of stock. So I go online and order it and it arrives about 5 days later. Plug it in and thats when I realize its not as great as I saw in the store. First I upgrade new drivers for my top of the line video card and the monitor itself. But I soon come to realize it takes over 30 min sometimes over an hour for the monitor to finish warming up. During that time it flickers, shakes, and has lines running through it.I also have a bright dead pixel in the middle of the monitor. NEC won't exchange it unless it has 4-5 dead pixels so it looks like I am stuck with a monitor that takes an hour to warm-up and has a dead pixel, pretty sad for almost $600

This LCD flat panel image has OUTSTANDING image quality!
I saw this LCD flat panel display at a local Fry's Electronics store and was blown away by the picture quality compared to other displays.The overall image is amazingly sharp, great contrast with really black blacks, details are retained in photos and flesh tones exceptional for digital image work.The only concern I had was the amount of glare on the screen in the store with the massive overhead lights.In my home environment where I can control the lighting, I don't have a problem with glare, but could see some folks objecting to this.For me however, the superb quality is absolutely worth the trade-off.I also really liked the thin frame, built in cable management, 4 port USB 2.0 hub, and height-adjustable support column.I had an older NEC 21" CRT that I thought I was going to miss when I converted to this 19" LCD, but the actual visible screen size is almost the same, and image quality so good that I plan on watching a whole lot more DVDs on my computer than I used to!All around an awesome display! ...

Excellent basic FPD/LCD monitor at great price
I've been using the AL1714B as the monitor on my new (AMD Sempron-based, WinXP SP2/Mandrake Linux) system for two months now and literally have no complaints.For the last ten years or more I was using 14", 15" and 17" CRT monitors and the difference between those and a LCD is everything I always heard it would be.I have an IBM Thinkpad 600E with a 13" LCD but it's not quite the same as getting a 17" LCD monitor (which, in viewable area, is actually just about equal to a 19" CRT monitor).The image is sharp and clear with no dead pixels (often a problem on LCD monitors) that I can detect, it works perfectly at 1024 x 768 (native resolution is 1280 x 1024 though it can be set as low as 800 x 600), controls are easy to use, and it gives off a LOT less heat and uses much less power than an equivalent CRT monitor.I wish I had three of those so I could put them on my backup system and my digital-video-recording system. ...

Great monitor but not worth 5 stars
This is the top of the line as far as LCD's go, but you are still paying something extra for the "Sony" name as with all sony products.For one thing, even though it has an EXCEPTIONAL response time in games(for an LCD) thier are a few image rips in animation when moving or looking up/down in a FPS or like game.Cut scenes in Knights of the OLd Repub II aren't bad even on 'auto' light but the game has a few moments when walking that can get on your nerves such as turns skipping a few frames and it is not tollerable on the regular connector.DVI is marginally better at handling this because of increased frequency but you can only go to 60 hz refresh(though on LCD"s it is not noticeable as on CRTs but still hurts the eyes over time.)By the way no other LCD COMES WITH a DVI cable that I know of except this one and that is the main reason to buy it.Sony patents everything though so you need to reorder a SONY DVI cable(not an off brand) if this one goes out or your warrenty is void.No DVI cables of any kind can be ordered on this site at this time.They are almost impossible to find in most local stores and some sales people don't even know what you are talking about.I would highly recommend this monitor for its DVI cable and also for the performance to the avid gamer despite the video flaws when running or turning because it is hardly noticeable on DVI mode.The 60hz and lack of a solid driver is negotiable, but I just put mine in the far back of my corner hutch so it won't hurt my eyes.19"(diagonal) is big enough to see at a distance of four feet or more.Insidently, it is actually 19" unlike the CRT equivalent which is only 18".You get what you pay for and with this you get alot, but you also get the Sony logo and a lousy refresh rate, otherwise a top notch product for internet, office or even games of any kind.12 ms respones also makes it good for CAD.

Very Nice Display
I couldn't be happier with this monitor.The color and contrast are very good, the best I've seen so far.The speed seems to be very fast, no blurs.
The first one I ordered from Amazon had one green pixel stuck on, very irritating on the eyes.I contacted Amazon and they arranged a home pick-up, shipped the second one overnight and did not charge anything for the shipping costs. This monitor has no bad pixels.I love it! and Amazon too!

Incredible!
You will be spoiled forever once you see this LCD monitor in person.If you use the computer a lot like I do - a clear, sharp display is an amazing thing - which I've never had until now that I own this LCD display.

After looking and comparing many monitors I purchased this one even though it was slightly more in cost than others.The reason I purchased this LCD display was because after comparing apples to apples with the display images produced by all monitors I was looking at - this one stood out very quickly.

This monitor has a technology called XBrite as well as a glassy looking screen which makes you think at first you will see a glare - but it's just the opposite.Not only do you not see a glare but it totally makes the words and images pop out of the display.

The clarity and sharpness provided by this display are just simply incredible.It is worth every extra penny you pay for it.It also has a $50 rebate right now.

Once you have a display such as this you'll never want to go back to the more traditional monitors that don't have the XBrite technology or go back to the ones that have the antiglare screens (which I can now see now after having this display that does not have the antiglare screen - that the monitors that do have the antiglare screens only take away from the clarity of the image you see on the screen!).

This LCD display I know has many technologically advanced features I can't begin to talk about as my main concern was the ease of being able to view words on the monitor but I'm sure the product review above goes into all that it has.

See this LCD display before deciding on an LCD display!!It's a must see!You won't regret making this purchase! ... Read more

Looks great, more desk space to work!
I got mine on Monday and I already love it. I replaced a smaller flat panel and an old (and huge!) 17" CRT I had and my studio looks more spacious. I also bought a KVM and I am sharing the LG L1910 among an XP and a Linux machine. Switching is smooth, no clicks or sounds, like if the monitor didn't even notice it. Even though Linux does not automatically recognize it when probing you can just "define" it based on the specifications which you can find right here at Amazon.

It is very bright and the contrast is great. I'd say images look a lot brighter and better in the new LG than in any of my old monitors (a 17" CRT Viewsonic and a 15" flat panel Dell).
Having the additional desk space is great too.

It's been only 5 days but so far, so good....we'll see.

BEWARE
I also bought this monitor.It worked great for a few months, then color changed, got grainey and went out of center. Tried to reset it ?? like they saidand it did not work. Called for warranty and yes...3 months full warranty and the rest of the year we have to pay for repair, freight, etc. So i guess i dump it and buy another one !! BEWARE...I would not purchase another one of Kogi's.BUYER BEWARE PLEASE...

WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!
After I bought this item, it worked fine until a couple months later it wouldn't display a single thing! I tried calling the company but they said that the repair would be out of my pocket! This item is a disgrace to the computer monitor industry! DON'T BUY IT! BUY A SONY OR SAMSUNG INSTEAD!

Not bad for the money
For this low price, the KoGi L7CH is a very decent 17" LCD monitor. It won some kind of PC magazine award for its text and picture clarity, although I wish the contrast ratio were higher. Response time is also a bit on the high side, but again, this is a value monitor and a good choice if your budget is tight (and whose isn't these days?). The warranty is skimpy, so be sure to buy from a reputable store like Amazon just in case something goes wrong shortly after you purchase it. I bought two of these for clients and neither one had dead pixels.

It broke down just a few days after 3-month full warranty
I bought it in March and thought it was a good deal. It worked fine until last Thursday. When I turned on my computer, the whole monitor screen turned into green/yellow. And it became so blurry that I could not even correctly find the START icon to turn off my computer.
I called the Gvision company. First, they don't have a toll free customer service number. Then the guy from technical support told me to go to their website to follow the instructions listed in FAQs--lucky I did not get rid of my old monitor. Nothing worked. I called them again. And I was told that I had to go to their website again to fill out a RMA (RETURN/REPAIR MERCHANDISE AUTHORIZATION) REQUEST FORM, otherwise a $45 fee will be charged.
Second, after I completed the form and clicked "sumbit", a page error occured and the information could not be sent. I tried several times and could not send out the request form. So I called Gvision for the third time. This time I was told that it might because the information I typed in was too long--their web page just says "Please be brief/concise" but does not specify a length limit or tells you the form might not be sent out if the information is too long.
Anyway, I received the email reply yesterday giving me a RMA # so I can send my monitor back to Gvision. BTW: althought the product claims to have one-year warranty, the full warranty is 3-month. It means after 3 months from your purchase date, they will only REPAIR or replace it with a REFURBISHED item.
Third, even afteryou get the RMA # you have to ship the monitor back by yourself. And Gvision will not cover or reimburse the shipping cost. I paid about $24 for 7-day ground parcel service at post office. Two years ago when I had problem with my Dell laptop, I contacted Dell and they just sent someone from Fedex to pick it up the next day. I did not have to pay a cent for shipping (I did not even have to pack my laptop because the Fedex guy came in with a special case for laptop and he wrapped it carefully.)
Now I'm still waiting for my LCD monitor to come back. Hopefully there will be no more hassles for me. ... Read more

It was reviewed highly yet
it fell apart under use. I researched buying a projector for a long time and the x1 looked like the ticket. It had the right price and all of the right options and after unpacking it and setting up the projector it was WOW. Then the problems. A huge grinding noise started and I sent it back to Infocus to be repaired under warranty. Infocus promises a detailed repair report and they replaced a screw. The same thing happened and I sent it back to Infocus and spoke with a nice guy. I said this was a lemon and should be replaced. Not happening. I even offered to upgrade and pay the difference. Not happening. When I got it back at least this time the repair report didn't just say replaced a screw. The unit is doing the same thing out of warranty and I put in for a repair request and thought ..... hmmmmm..... if Infocus couldn't fix it under warranty then why could they fix it out of warranty and I would be out at least 300.00 with no guarantee it wouldn't do it again. So I have a useless unit hanging like a bat on my ceiling.

Did this unit perform? Yes it did. Was extremely happy with it. But then if you can't get it fixed and fixed right then the unit is useless and the lowest rating. I continue to read all of these wonderful reviews and no one has ever mentioned my experience. This leads me to believe that my unit was a lemon and Infocus should have done the right thing.I did write Infocus and told them I would be writing reviews and gave them a week with no response. ...

Amazon.com Product Description

With its integrated TV tuner and advanced screen technology, ViewSonic's NextVision N2000 20-inch LCD TV delivers crisp, vibrant colors and maximizes your TV and PC enjoyment. Watch your favorite TV show or movie in the den, on your kitchen countertop, in the bedroom, on your desktop, or anywhere else you can imagine. The N2000 is a stylish, ultra-thin, wall-mountable, flat panel TV. Plug-and-play connections let you easily connect DVD or VHS players, game consoles, or high-definition DTV set-top boxes (the screen scales high-definition 720p and 1080i images to its 480p native resolution) to create a complete home entertainment system. Two integrated 5-watt speakers complement your video with rich stereo sound.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (with no risk of image burn-in), space savings, light weight/easy positioning, and energy efficiency (most LCDs use substantially less power than their CRT equivalents).

The set's image processor provides precision scaling and the picture-in-picture capabilities so you can enjoy a movie or TV show while simultaneously working on computer applications. Use separate picture windows to preview up to 9 different TV channels with the Multiview or POP function.

The N2000's super-bright liquid crystal panel offers a 16 millisecond response time that minimizes lag time for moving video and high-speed gaming. An advanced processor featuring a 4H comb filter and reverse 3:2 pulldown provides optimum video quality. Use 3:2 pulldown reversal for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. Digital video mastering (for, say, DVD) introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

Compatible with both PC and Mac computer systems, the N2000 has S-Video, component-video (Y Pb Pr), and composite-video connections. Other features include an advanced remote control, a DC power supply, and a highly reliable backlight. Parental control and closed caption options are also available. You can easily attach the set to a wall or a ceiling with an optional mounting kit.

Very nice TV
This is NOT a monitor.Your resolution at best will be 800x600, or more likely 640x480 will be as good as it gets.However, this is an excellent TV.Good colors, good refresh rate, and I have experienced no delay in changing channels as the other reviewer.You have a wide variety of inputs available, including RCA, component, VGA, S-Video and Coax.PIP and POP modes are both available.The only problems I am aware of at this point are that I cannot view the Coax and S-video inputs via PIP at once.Viewsonic has not helped in this regard.I am still waiting for their input.Also, there are six buttons on the bottom of the remote that I cannot find a function for.Additionally, these buttons are pictured in the manual but not explained.For the price, though, this is an excellent TV.

Very nice TV for the money
I bought this unit to be used only as a TV, and it is excellent.The picture is crystal clear, very good sound from the speakers, and a very nice looking unit.Easy to hook up out of the box and comes with a few basic cables you might need.Only drawbacks to me are that the remote is way too big, it is huge.And when hooked up to a cable box, my TV will have a delay when you change channels, images take a second or 2 to come up.I tried both a digital cable box and an analog and had the same results.Overall a great product and highly recommended.Ecost.com has them for $595 w/free shipping, much cheaper.

NOT A MONITOR
I purchased this LCD TV thinking that I could use it for a computer monitor as well, but it is really not designed for that purpose.Technically, I can plug it into the computer and get an image, but the image is exceedingly blurry because the resolution is that of a regular tv.There's no way you can read text that blurry.I had trouble getting information regarding this aspect from the documentation and online salespeople, so I thought I'd better post the info here.As a tv, it's fine, although the sound is not as good as my external 40W computer speakers.Also, it doesn't receive tv images without an external antenna or cable plugged in.

Wow...didn't even know it
I bought this 1 month ago and I am blown away!It didn't even mention in the specs that it scales HD!I plugged my canblevosion box with HD and it works!!Also, the best picture I have seen with a DVD.remote was easy but not great but the picture was stunning!!! ... Read more
