32-Inch HD Ready LCD Television
Great monitor, but that pop is annoying!
Great monitor. we watch noral cable on it and I hook my alienware sentia laptop up to it to work on. If you use the audio outs the pop between channles is unbearable if you like to channel surf. I use it mostly for DVDs and my PC monitor with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. It is so cool to work on dreaweaver from my couch! I output in 1280x800 and double the size of my start bar on the bottom of the screen. This way the bottom quarter of the start bar does not show, but i can still see the whole taskbar. \\"alt+tab\\" works best for switching in between apps. One nice feature is that I can set my display to 800x600 and run the PIP in side byh side mode. I can watch a 4:3 TV program on one half and still have a 16\\" monitor on the other side. The lady at tiger told me the DVI input was DVI-I, but it is actually DVI-D which means you can't adpat a VGA output to it. I used 1 6foot VGA cable and 1 6 foot VGA extension from Radio shack to strech the 12 feet from my laptop the TV. The picture is exellent. Finally I use Power DVD 6 to watch DVD's on this TV and it is nothing short of breathtaking! Even using just the VGA in the skin tones in \\"In good company\\" looked just like film, my wife and I were blown away at the detail and consistency. On \\"DareDevil\\" the dark scenes were \\"very\\" dark on a normal DVD player using Svideo, but they looked better using the computer's VGA output. MY Alienware only has the intergrated (Intel) graphics card,  so I haven't experimented with any games, but apps and internet browsing are awsome. Just make sure your Video card can display 1280x800 and the TV will auto adjust the output to fit the screen except the last 30 pixels or so on the bottom. (Hence the reason to pull up the start bar.). Good TV, Fantastic Monitor, Great for DVD, POOR if you channel search WHILE audio is going out the audio outputs into a reciever - just use the TV speakers. Finally, I had major problems with Tiger approving my CCard because I was in the middle of a move, after a week of delays they gave me free shipping and got it out to me in four days.er a week of delays they gave me free shipping and got it out to me in four days.
