Excellent Picture, sound not so great
We have small televisions in our office. We have about 15 Sharp Aquos tv's that we are very happy with, but Sharp stopped making the smaller screens. There are really not that many options for small screen tv's. I read the reviews on the Viewsonic and at first was hesitant, but decided to try one. The picture is very good and since we watch them sitting at a desk, there is no problem with the viewing angle. The sound is not very good, but acceptable for our purpose. I would not recommend t...

Why can't they make a TV with decent sound
I bought this TV after reading about the poor sound on the small Sharp. I should have waited for a review here. The sound is annoying (I found the music setting to be the least annoying for listening to voice). The picture must be viewed at eye level, as also noted in the first review. On a positive note it has all the inputs and outputs you would need.

Good HDTV, Mediocre PC Monitor
I am looking for a small HDTV so I can use it as a secondary monitor - this one suit my purpose considering I only paid $199 for it.
PLUS
- Very good HDTV picture quality - I connect it to my cable and the tuner is smart enough to pickup all ANALOG and UNSCRAMBLED HD channels automatically. Overall HD picture quality is good.
- It has one VGA, one HDMI, one component video, one S-Video and one composite video input - pretty good for a cheap TV.
- NO NEED FOR AC ADAPTER...

Not what we expected
Got the N1630w 15-inch TV for the kitchen counter, but will need to find another use for it because the speakers are totally tinny, even with full bass and treble added, or different sound preferences selected (I think Viewsonic expects you to add external speakers to this unit so the sound is as good as the picture). Unit also sits very low to the countertop, and doesn't have a swivel feature to allow it to be tilted upwards. The viewing angle is critical .. like viewing a projection TV .. yo...

Viewsonic almost got it right
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Just the right size for a kitchen or den. Decent picture when looking straight on.
Cons: Terrible sound quality - sounds very tinny, like an old drive in movie speaker. Tried all of the different sound adjustments but none made the sound any better. Cannot connect to external speakers either. No tilt adjustments (although the pi...

Viewing angle, sound are problems
With the set on the counter top and looking straight at it while standing, the picture was good but it appeared faded when siting at the table about 12 feet away. (Vertical viewing angle issue). Also, volume needed to be turned up near the max. Tinny sound. Maybe it's a 1-star. Returned it. Too bad. I miss the birds.

Keep Looking, this TV is not for you
I read the reviews, but was hoping this was a time they were wrong. Its hard to find a small TV. Don't do it, don't buy this one. The picture is great as long as you are sitting squarely in front of it exactly at eye level. But if you are buying this for your kitchen or a small room and doing what most people would be doing ... moving around, this is horrible. The slightest off angle viewing creates a washed out picture.
And the sound is worse. Tinny barely describes it and I ha...

Good for home office
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Inexpensive, works with cable, pc, etc. Easy to switch between sources. Tilts backward for viewing by taller person near tv. Speakers work fine for small office.
Cons: Doesn't tilt forward/downward which would be nice if small kiddo was seated in front of it but it was a little below level of tv.
Image is Terrible nearl...

Bang for the buck
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I am very happy with this tv. I bought 2 to place above my plasma in my home sportsbar. They are mounted on a soffit with peerless angle bracket.
**Price: Getting 2 of these for under $350 with the rebate is a deal. Even without the Rebate NewEggs price is better than everywhere I looked by about 15%
** Look: Th...
