ViewSonic N3000w 30-Inch Widescreen HDTV-Ready LCD Television
Nice price, nice picture, problems with company and progressive input
I bought this TV based on various reviews read on the internet.  It was within my price range and even though there *are* other TVs out there of similar size that have a better picture, this one is decent for the money.  There are a few major issues I have with it. <br /> <br />1.  The progressive input (and there is only one) for the component video does not work well with my progressive scan DVD player.  The picture at the top is VERY distorted.  I have tried this with different DVD players (both Sony & Toshiba) and have the same problem.  When the signal is run through the interlaced input, it works just fine. <br />2.  I called the company, and after jumping through dozens of hoops, returned the TV.  The tech support was awful.  Their English was sub-par, indicating they work overseas, and made it extremely difficult to explain my problem.  However, after a month of negotiation, I was able to exchange it, thinking the above listed problem was the TV.  The new model, however, has the same problem. <br /> <br />Now I have a progressive scan DVD player, but am using interlaced inputs. <br /> <br />Otherwise, the TV works fine.  I would give it 2.5 stars if I could, since the progressive input is a major problem in my opinion.
