Product Description

Amazon.com

Real Digital's RD2200 monitor boasts a detailed, 22-inch TFT LCD screen with razor-sharp images and a 864 x 480-resolution picture. The RD2200 scan-converts from source inputs up to 1,600 x 1,200, letting you use it with PC and Macintosh computers (VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA) as well as with high-resolution home theater equipment like satellite receivers and DTV set-top boxes (625p, 625i, 1080i, and 720p).

A high (400:1) contrast ratio, exceptional peak brightness of 420 candles/square meter, fast (16 ms) response time, and wide (160 x 160-degrees) viewing angles enhance the unit's standard-format (4:3 aspect ratio) image.

For connections, you get RS-232 controls, high-definition component-video, S-video, two audio/video inputs (stereo analog audio, composite-video), Scart, and DVI (digital visual interface) inputs to accommodate several different devices, with video signals ranging from standard NTSC to PAL and SECAM. The RD2200 is wall-mountable with VESA-compliant mounting holes, and a built-in headphone jack allows private listening.

What's in the Box
Monitor, RGB cable, AV cable, power cable, Pbpbr cable, remote control, user's manual, AC adapter (85W), and warranty card.

Note: As this set is intended for display purposes only, it does not include an NTSC television tuner. All television reception must come from external devices like DTV receivers, satellite receivers, cable boxes, and VCRs.

This review is from: Real Digital RD2200 22-Inch 16:9 LCD Flat-Panel TV with Speakers (Electronics)

I bought this TV about a month ago after contemplating Sharp, Samsung, Philips et al. In my opinion Philips and Samsung make best LCD TVs - I've heard some negative comments about samsungs breaking down though. What I like about this TV is that it gives you the best price/performance ratio. It does'nt perform as well as picture tube based TVs but if you compare it strictly to LCD TVs only, it stacks up well with other competitors. In the panorama mode the images are noticeably distorted on the sides. In all modes the picture is grainier and not as bright as a picture tube. It does a significantly better job with DVD and HD signals. The picture quality is very comparable to Sharp Acquous TVs. It has an NTSC tuner, PIP/POP and pretty much every adjustment that you would ever want. Remote is huge and very busy - too many buttons. It's heavier than most other TVs of comparable size. I removed the stand before mounting it on the wall and it weighed about 26 lbs withoug stand. Most wall mounts can only take up to 30 lbs weight so you're on borderline there. The speakers are better than most other brands offer. I found Sanus wall mounts (beachaudio.com) to be good with this TV. This TV is not wall mount friendly at all. There is no way to mount the speakers. After much thinking I decided to detach the speaker stands and stick the speakers to the TVs using an industrial strength velcro. I like the results - now the speakers look like they're built into the TV itself - kind of like the Sharp Acquous with side speakers.

I never heard of Real Digital, but I did my comparisons. This product spec'd out right where I was looking, and it was priced considerably better than similarily featured models from other brands. I'm very pleased with the quality of this TV, both picture quality and build quality. It looks and feels as though it will last a long time. I'm impressed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good TV -- limited PC use, November 9, 2003

The RD2200 is solidly built and a good TV monitor. It has a built in TV tuner and input for all video formats including European formats (PAL and SECAM). The speakers are very good quality though enclosed in cheap plastic. The picture quality is similar to more expensive LCD TVs. The remote is quite useful and has a button to expand the picture to fill the screen. On the negative side, it is not a good PC monitor. Even with DVI connection, VGA is the only acceptable resolution. Also the PIP and POP features will not accept PC input. Because of the 16:9 format, the screen height is only equivalent to a 17" monitor. Overall, a very good TV monitor, perfect for 16:9 DVD movies, and well worth the great price Amazon offers.

I received today (12/8/03) the rebate check from Nextvision less than a month from submitting the form. This is a record time for any mail-in-rebate. Thanks!
