Low Priced Large HD Screen
Pros: Wide Screen, Fits multiple application windows side by side, Easy to install and setup. Very bright screen, so bright I had to turn it down to a very low setting. This is their Newest Technology, user upgradeable USB port is a plus. HD TV is very good. DVD player is very High quality. Standard TV okay. Has many different settings for Aspect Ratio to find exactly what you want for screen shape, size and realism. Easy to change tint, colors, sharpness, resolution, all the options I want to get the picture I like best. You can stretch the picture, or not. I did not use the stretch feature so all pictures and movies are their correct size and shape. I Love it for my main computer screen, works great with ATI video card.
Cons: The 1600 Contrast very good, but 4000 or higher would have been better. High Def. good picture, but not a knockout, but then this is a very low priced 32" HD TV. If you are looking for the best possible HD picture, this is not it, it is very good, but it is a low priced screen. But for me it is perfect, fits my price range. If I had twice the money I would buy better TV, otherwise for those of us with limited income, this is great.
Other Thoughts: Text in XP may be blurry or choppy until you find the right color, theme combination. Large fonts in Windows fixes most of this. I can have 4 windows open at the same time, read all four from 4 feet back easily. For multi-tasking this is incredible. Playing MPEG, WMV, MOV, etc. movies from the computer hard drive is great. This bridged the gap for me from just a computer to a complete TV/Computer, digital entertainment center in one. I always dreamed of playing my Computer hard drive movies on a large screen with High Quality, this does it. This is my computer dream system. And with the large screen my eyes are never strained. I could be nearly blind and read and surf the internet now.
