Turns out I bought this on Black Friday, but actually I bought it returning from the airport after 4 days in Los Angeles, CA with my brother for thanksgiving. We went to Disneyland for Thanksgiving day, not a bad deal but I feel like I got run over by a Disney ad campaign (bring your gas mask if you do the “autopia” ride, CA emissions test hasn’t touched that ride). Anyhow, coming home on black friday, stopped off at Best Buy and picked up this LCD TV.. I think having a HDTV in my ramada …

Do you need to have a cable outlet for this to have channels, or does it pick up on other broadcasting networks?
Read my comments below to KidVid711..
Should i get one for a PS3?
It’s good as a TV, it is bad probably for HD or video games.. I think there is some shielding lacking between the TV tuning stuff and the digital components or something.. It doesn’t seem to be very popular to have so many inputs in one set.. That’s why I got it, but there us probably a technical reason for that.
is that tv good cause im thinking of buying 1
size is 32 right
Your right, it is a little fuzzy on the VGA but its not that bad. It has to be 60Hertz and 1080 by something to make it look good. Everyday, I keep hoping this horizontal line doesn’t come back and it keep coming back -_- The book says that I must not have it close to another electronic device and its not. Hope it doesn’t come back tomorrow. Thanx for the Review.
I was actually noticing that in VGA mode it is quite noisy, I’m thinking that it doesn’t have proper shielding inside to guard the video decoder from the other inputs. You can get warranties from guys like Best Buy, I think up to 3 years. This was the only LCD-TV I could find with a variety of inputs. Usually you have HDMI and SVHS and some sort of composite input.. But hardly ever VGA (DVI) and Cable, RGB, etc. I admit I don’t use mine a whole lot, these days I watch TV on my laptop.
After 5 months of use. I come across this permanent Horizontal line that I can’t get rid of. Its a small thin line that shows itself in every Video Mode. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you don’t mind looking at a small line all the time.
I’m on vacation now, about 1000 miles away, so I can’t demonstrate this TV right now, but when I get home I can.. Just notify me in a couple of days, and I’ll see to it.
NTSC video will always look bad on any TV, this is because the video encoding for the old TV standard involved taking a fraction of the blue, red and green signals and combining them together into a single signal, with a dispurportionate amount of green to red and blue, because the human eye is sensitive to green more than blue and red. It looks fine from a distance unless you capture a picture from the screen and there is color bleeding. But cable, composite, DVI and HDMI on a LCD is rare.
Video on the TV is standard so it’s not HD. I don’t have HD where I am at, so I can’t demonstrate that. I could have demonstrated its support for computer video if I had connected my computer. So for standard video and DVD (SVHS) video, it looks pretty good, but I haven’t tested it for high resolutions. But as far as features go, it has more than the ones I researched.. Mainly the variety of video inputs. What we wanted it for was for taking video from standard NTSC without a computer TV card.
looks really bad :[ is it just your camera?
i hope so i was considering this TV
BTW tell me how much you paid, I paid about 200 dollars for this one. I dare you, fine me an LCD monitor with TV Tuner and HDMI, VGA (computer) , RGB separated composite, Composite, S-Video. It even has a port for SPDIF.
I dare you, find me a better monitor, within this price range.. I doubt you will find one, unless maybe for 500 dollars.
BTW, the sound sucks from the TV, but connect it to a stereo or some cheap computer speakers, Get some Dell D20’s (I think that is the model).. The speakers sell for about 5 dollars on EBAY, I buy in packs of 10 for 50 dollars.. And they sound about as good as BOSE, hole in back for pseudo subwoofer. Or get a computer 5.1 surround sound speaker setup, I have an Altec Lansing THX 4.1 that I still prefer, makes the floor rumble.
Okay find me one that is better.. I’ve looked, there is nothing better.. BTW, your old TV sucks, because it wasn’t digital and had scan lines, the analog looks better on a CRT but when it goes to LCD you realize just how much NTSC/PAL signals suck. Now if you are talking about LCD monitor, tell me what you connected and how? It’s probably that you connected your PS3 to the RCA jacks.. No use the HDMI or VGA connectors. When in digital mode it acts like a regular LCD monitor.
dont get this tv its picture quality and sound is shit
Now their not because of the market they’re trying to sell everything even stuff hidden in the back!
Trading Places. Good choice.
It works perfectly for my xbox 360.
It’s actually a computer monitor with a builtin TV tuner.. It takes in HDMI and VGA, so you can hook your computer and game systems to it. I haven’t tried it with those game systems, but I wouldn’t doubt it’s ability to do well with digital video signals. We got it because of the TV tuner ability cause we needed it to work with a VCR and cable input. It also has more video inputs than most LCD-TV’s.
is this a good tv for xbox and ps3?
