Overall this LCD HDTV is great for the price. The tv works extremely well, when attached via coax. Hi-def can be acheived using component cables that easily plug into the rear of the LCD.

The great part of this LCD is that it can be used as a PC monitor aswell. Although the native resolution for the LCD is 1280 x 768 it can support way beyond that unlike most LCD TV that also support VGA input for a PC. The only downside was that I was hoping to be able to use a DVI connection for better quality but unlike it says in the specification it does not have a DVI input.

I would recommend this to anyone who is either looking for a PC monitor that can be used as a TV or a TV that could be used as a PC. I currently am using it for both and it has been working out great. Not to mention that connecting Hi-def components also look great on this LCD.

I could only find an owners manual in French so I gave the TV to a charity auction.

I would highly reccomend this LCD it has so many inputs that we put in the bedroom attached to our shuttle mini-pc now we surf the web, watch cable-tv in High Def and save lots of space. the picture is quite good with a wide viewing angle from all sides. The picture did take some adjusting in color but what tv doesn't? The monitor is slim and doesn't take up much space we put a surround system, the mini pc all on one chest of drawers using a wireless keyboard and mouse we can pull up a chair and surf or rent movies online and watch them from the comfort of our bed with no viewing problems and crystal clear sharp hd reception looks great and you can't beat the price we have been searching for months for the bedroom this is great.

Purchased this TV Dec 2005 with paperwork showing 1 year warranty.
Unit worked well until May 2006. Is now dead. Contacted warranty phone number and was advised they did not know the location of authorized service center but I could call back in a day or so!!
The home office number links to a voice mail system that is full and not taking calls!!!
Additional- finally contacted technician on his cell phone- returned defective TV and was sent a functional one. Replacement is working well.

Purchased a Plasma from those guys. Absolutely no support. Had a service contract through VAC. They tried. Nothing !
