Bought this for kitchen HD.
Good: Nice HD picture. Fairly simple screen navigation
Bad: Horrible connectivity. All the ports are bunched up w/in millimeters of the other- to make matters worse its on the left-hand side.
Ugly: The HDMI connection. When switching between SD and HD sources using your HDMI cable-you will get a blue screen. You will need to cut the power to your source 1-4 times before finally arriving at a picture. I took the first back to BB and they said its something w/the encoding system for the HDMI connector. Hmmm funny, my Panasonic plasma doesn’t have that problem.
Summary: its a nice set for a nice price if you can put up w/the maddening problem w/its HDMI switch.
Side bar: I’ve tried cheap-o HDMI cables and better-made cables and you’ll be smart to use the better ones. Yes a digital signal is a digital signal-but brightness is a big issue w/the cheaper ones.
Bluejeans cable or monoprice cable is the way to go.
GOOD — PRICE, BI-PLATFORMED FOR TV AND COMPUTER
BAD — NOT TRUE 16:9 (16:10), ACCESS TO DIGITAL QAM DIFFICULT, VIDEO AND AUDIO MEDIOCRE
For a cheap utility hdtv that can double as a vga plugged computer screen (or visaversa) as in a home office, this screen is a really good deal for the money. However pix and audio quality only mediorce and the viewing range on the lcd limited.
16:10 slightly distorts hdtv pix, elongating images by 10%.
CAUTION: You can not key-in digital channels directly on the remote, even though it has a dot key.
The only access to Qam digital is via on screen menu and then you can only access channels directly through the onscreen programming guide. Lots of key strokes. NOTE QAM is important, since it allows access to local HDVD channels without renting a box from cable or satellite.
I’ve had this TV/Monitor for about a month, and I’ve been very happy with it.
The TV works/looks great. Nice remote, easy controls, etc. etc.
As a computer monitor, it is FANTASTIC. The built-in speakers means that I don’t need other items cluttering up my desktop. Image is very sharp.
