ViewSonic NX2232W - 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor w/ Built-in HDTV Tuner- 2400:1 (DC), 5ms, 1680x1050 - Black

Arrives with only the power cord. You need your own monitor cord and cable wire. Fixed on its base. You can't change height or angle. For TV, uses its own built-in speakers. You can't hook it to your own speakers. I called. Good value for the money and a great way to save space. But there are annoyances.

I am very pleased with this TV/monitor. Excellent picture quality, easy to setup. I had shopped around on the web for TV's of this size, and this was by far the best deal going. I have 2 other Viewsonic computer LCDs and a 37" Viewsonic TV as well and have been very pleased with all of them. Viewsonic is better quality than a lot of the lower priced TV's from what I have seen reviewed on the Web.

This TV/monitor has very good specs and the price is right. I have it connected via S-Video and the picture is VERY good. I used Finding Nemo as a test and it passed with flying colors in comparison to a full 32" LCD TV. One of the things that convinced me to buy was other ratings and its contrast ratio which is great for the price.

This tv has it all- lcd monitor/hd tv, hdmi, easy setup and stunning clarity and color. I want to buy the next size up or bigger for our livingroom and replace the junky westinghouse hd tv, which has given us nothing but problems. I recommend this tv for anyone who wants a bedroom, kitchen, office, or lcd monitor for thier computer. JB

I had great experience with Viewsonic monitors, so I thought it was a good choice for a HDTV for my bedroom and a back-up computer monitor. It was a wrong choice. I has poor view angle performance. Vertical is worse than horizontal. This problem is compounded by an unmovable, fixed pedestal. Does not have adequate color correction. Turn-on and channel switching times are too long. Sound is poor. This purchase would not have been made if I had a chance to preview it. I would return it if I could.

My first and only digital TV. Operates on standard cable. Pictures and sound with my cheap old CRT TV were fairly good. Analog signals on the Viewsonic are very poor. I can access digital versions of these channels but at channel numbers that can not be entered directly 94-4 for example. Only quick way is with favorites. Sound volume on the digital channels is not enough when trying to overcome background noise (must push to 100% - forget it in a public place!!). Then on switching to one of the analog channels - wow is that load - the feed is so different. Switching between channels takes a couple seconds to tune in - very annoying if you want to channel surf. Color has been very difficult to get right - finally fairly satisfactory - but my CRT was better. It seemed like a good value for the size - but if this is what the new digital TV world is all about, I am not looking forward to next year and the death of analog. The lesson for me - I will not buy another LCD TV based solely on reviews and price. It must be a model that I can test in the store - including analog signals.

Easy to setup and get going. The Menu would be better if it was bigger in size and had a few more options that would allow you to tweak the picture better. The speakers are a little weak at 5 watts. Overall a good little LCD TV, great picture using HDMI input.

I bought this to serve as both a external monitor and a TV. It is doing exactly what I wanted .

First be aware that buy.com does not accept returns of any kind for this item. This is OK as a monitor (good resolution) but not as a TV. The sound is hollow and the on screen text is way too small. The remote is also very cheap feeling. I bought this to replace a TV. If I could return it I would.

Instructions for operating very poor. Upon turning on, the Sonic logo comes up and then you have to select channel. Remote often does not transmit properly or the set does not receive properly. If it does not, the set turns off and you have to start over. Colors are not very good compared to my othet LCD HD Tv.

This is my third Viewsonic TV. This is a great little HDTV (720), with an excellent picture, lightweight, and a perfect size for the corner of my desk. With the speakers below the screen, it fits great. Although it does not swivel up/down or left/right, that's easy enough to remedy since it is weighs so little. And, if you wallmount it, the wallmount can take care of that problem. Highly recommended. Excellent value!

After looking at several "cheapies", I decided to spend a little more on this LCD from Viewsonic. I have had good experience in the past with Viewsonic's PC monitors, and this is essentially a PC monitor with a digital tuner built in. I like almost everything about this TV, with the exception of the picture quality on analog cable which isn't to imply that it is bad, or even worse than most other LCD's, I just wish it could be better. Of course this won't even be an issue after February '09. Everything else looks pretty nice. The sound is surprisingly clear and soundtracks from movies are very enjoyable for this size of TV. I had to deduct points for the stand that the tv comes with. You have two options with it, on or off. There are NO other adjustments (tilt, pivot, etc.) with it. I bought it for my three year old's room to replace a 13" CRT with a built in DVD. I have been able to connect analog CATV, a Play Station 2, and a PC to it and still have inputs left. It definitely serves it purpose well and I would recomend it to anyone looking for a nice 22" LCD for a decent price.

Could have been so much better. I am returning it to Viewsonic for a replacement and would have asked for a refund but I didn't buy it from them, so it was a repair or an exchange. The tuner was the big problem: in many cases, it would take close to 10 seconds of seeing a blue screen before the channel's picture would show. The remote worked the menus intermittently and often the TV response lagged so very badly that I had to remove the nearly-new batteries to see if this helped get the remote working again. Menuing system was on the clunky side and was either slow to respond or closed too quickly (e.g. Favorites button) to make it easy. Picture was oversaturated red in the default mode and the sound was thin until I hooked up a 2.1 speaker system to it, and even then it hummed at 60 hz if there was no sound. Couple of bright dead pixels in an otherwise black screen did not help matters either.

I bought this for my wife's tanning salon. I have had to for about 1 month now. We have cable service, but it has picked up the HDTV signals from the air as well without using any rabbit ears. The picture is very good on the regular channels and obviously much better on the HD ones. No problems with the sound either. I mounted about 8ft off the ground, 12ft from the waiting room chairs, in the center of the 40ft long wall. It is easly seen from either corner of the room. I am considering buying a 2nd for home, and putting it in the bed room. Only disappointment was that I threw the box away without getting the UPC code for the rebate, thus $30 down the drain.

Very good product. Ordered product and received it 3 days later. Easy to set up wright out of the box. Picture is clear and remote is easy to use (doesn't have a lot of buttons to push) wife likes that feature. Only down side is the screen is on a fixed mount stand, doesn't tilt. I would recomend the product, good value for the price. I would like to add, I've purchased several items from Buy.com and have not been disapointed with their service.
