Westinghouse LVM-37W1 37" HD Ready Flat Panel LCD Monitor
Great budget LCD with full HD resolution
I've had this monitor for 6 months now and I love it.  I use it primarily with my HTPC outputting 1920x1080 to DVI1.  The specs on the Westinghouse website say the VGA input can also take a 1080p signal. <br /> <br />Picture: When I saw the monitor in store, it had a horrible green tint that I couldn't get out with the settings.  With my unit though, I haven't changed any picture settings (ie., brightness, contrast, color) and everything looks great to me.  No dead pixels or broken backlights.  I've only been using the DVI1 and YPbPr1 inputs which both work great so I can't comment on the other inputs.  The response time of the LCD is a little slow if you're sensitive to ghosting.  While playing video games, I've noticed ghosting on fast-scrolling objects.  On the other hand, watching videos and movies has been fine for me. <br /> <br />Controls: The controls on the monitor are a little hard to press.  The menus are hard to navigate with these controls but with the remote control, it's not a problem.  One thing that annoys me is that when the monitor goes into power save mode, the first button you press just wakes up the monitor.  Then you have to wait about 2 seconds for it to power up, then press the button you really want again.  So if you left it at the component input and it goes into power save, it takes a couple seconds to get switched over to DVI.  This is true even if you are trying to turn the monitor off.  If you press power, it wakes up, then you have to wait 2 seconds and press power again to turn the monitor off. <br /> <br />Sound: Contrary to what others have said, I don't think the speakers are that great.  I had a Playstation 2 connected to it and any high notes were cut off and distorted.  Since then, I have bought a receiver so the sound on this monitor does not affect me. <br /> <br />Design: The monitor is a decent size for viewing from about 8-10 feet away.  I like the silver look and the uniform frame around the screen.  The stand is pretty sturdy and the speakers can be detached.  The video inputs (2 component, 2 DVI, 1 VGA, 1 S-Video, and 1 composite) are easily accessible from the sides of the back panel. <br /> <br />As long as you are aware that this monitor is an HD monitor and not an HD TV (it doesn't have a tuner!), I would highly recommend it because of its low cost and great picture quality.
