Product Description:

With its integrated TV tuner and advanced screen technology, ViewSonic's NextVision N2000 20-inch LCD TV delivers crisp, vibrant colors and maximizes your TV and PC enjoyment. Watch your favorite TV show or movie in the den, on your kitchen countertop, in the bedroom, on your desktop, or anywhere else you can imagine. The N2000 is a stylish, ultra-thin, wall-mountable, flat panel TV. Plug-and-play connections let you easily connect DVD or VHS players, game consoles, or high-definition DTV set-top boxes (the screen scales high-definition 720p and 1080i images to its 480p native resolution) to create a complete home entertainment system. Two integrated 5-watt speakers complement your video with rich stereo sound. LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (with no risk of image burn-in), space savings, light weight/easy positioning, and energy efficiency (most LCDs use substantially less power than their CRT equivalents). The set's image processor provides precision scaling and the picture-in-picture capabilities so you can enjoy a movie or TV show while simultaneously working on computer applications. Use separate picture windows to preview up to 9 different TV channels with the Multiview or POP function. The N2000's super-bright liquid crystal panel offers a 16 millisecond response time that minimizes lag time for moving video and high-speed gaming. An advanced processor featuring a 4H comb filter and reverse 3:2 pulldown provides optimum video quality. Use 3:2 pulldown reversal for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. Digital video mastering (for, say, DVD) introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. Compatible with both PC and Mac computer systems, the N2000 has S-Video, component-video (Y Pb Pr), and composite-video connections. Other features include an advanced remote control, a DC power supply, and a highly reliable backlight. Parental control and closed caption options are also available. You can easily attach the set to a wall or a ceiling with an optional mounting kit. What's in the Box TV, stand, a remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, and warranty information.

Comment: NOT A MONITOR Rating:
I purchased this LCD TV thinking that I could use it for a computer monitor as well, but it is really not designed for that purpose. Technically, I can plug it into the computer and get an image, but the image is exceedingly blurry because the resolution is that of a regular tv. There's no way you can read text that blurry. I had trouble getting information regarding this aspect from the documentation and online salespeople, so I thought I'd better post the info here. As a tv, it's fine, although the sound is not as good as my external 40W computer speakers. Also, it doesn't receive tv images without an external antenna or cable plugged in.
