Bought this last November to use as a TV mostly in a darkened room at night. Not the right set for that because Viewsonic left off a crucial control for any LCD TV - BACKLIGHT adjustment. The backlighting is so bright you cannot get more than a gray for blacks. Try to adjust the "brightness" and you crush the blacks in the image into the gray.
The LCD panel is 16:10 not 16:9 as stated in some Viewsonic info. This is typical with this size TV. However Viewsonic did not provide a 16:9 aspect ratio with the picture settings, so everything is slightly squeezed with geometric distortion, and the limited "Zoom" modes are useless to correct for that.
Also the panel is very inconsistent with the amount of light leakage and hotspots all around the edge, and bad light leakage at the top and bottom of the panel. The tiny (tinny) speakers can barely keep up without an odd resonant buzzing. They are very weak. No auto volume, limited tone controls, no "surround" mode.
Another real annoyance for

Great pixels .... Wide .. but not wide enough. images in standard and wide view appear compressed. Sound quality is terrible ... very tinny.
Returned the first one, it couldn't hold HDMI image connection.
Second one had same sound issue and SVGA lost color. Much better buying a Samsung.

Picked one up for Christmas, and like the previous review, I have found nothing I have yet that won't plug right into it. I use it in my study / office and all visitors so far have commented about the picture and the sleek design. The price is right for a smaller HD TV.

What makes this monitor interesting is that you can use it in a lot of different ways. It has a PC hook-up, HDMI, S-video, and more. You can jack in your cable, your PC, and a video game console, and use the input button to easily switch between them. If you're in a dorm room or studio apartment, one display can be your TV and your computer monitor - you just can't watch TV while you're checking your email. It looks attractive enough, and the price is pretty good (remember - two for the price of one!). It's not the most beautiful picture I've ever seen - but not bad at all. You're buying convenience and form, not the centerpiece of a grand home theater. It's a huge step up from a regular CRT.
