Product Description

VIEWSONIC N1700W, 17 16:9 HDTV READY LCD MONITOR WITH TV TUNER

Amazon.com Product Description

ViewSonic's NextVision N1700w offers a 17-inch widescreen liquid-crystal display and enhanced viewing with native 1,280 x 768 resolution, more than 450 nits of brightness, and a high 450:1 contrast ratio for dynamic images from any source. Multimedia enhancements include 3:2 pulldown and a 3D digital comb filter that supports both enhanced definition television (EDTV) and HDTV resolution formats.

Unlike LCD televisions optimized only for standard TV viewing, the N1700w lets you view all forms of digital and analog content, including compatibility with HDTV receivers and set top boxes at resolutions of 480p, 720p, and 1080i.

In addition, the N1700w delivers full-screen viewing and picture-in-picture (PIP) capabilities for watching video or TV content while working simultaneously on PC applications. Multiview or POP lets you create up to 9 picture windows on the screen for viewing multiple TV channels at the same time. The TV also features advanced digital de-interlacing and image scaling, high-fidelity audio with a 20-watt integrated speaker system (10 watts x 2), a 181-channel tuner, and a slim-line remote control.

Precision scaling and image processing include a digital 3-D comb filter and 3:2 pulldown correction. Digital video mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown reversal digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. The comb filter enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt).

The included TV tuner module offers additional ports to easily add a digital camera, DVD player or gaming console.

ViewSonic Lacks Intuitive Controls.......2005-10-19

ViewSonic products are reliable and present sharp images. They are basically computer monitors turned into TV's. If you want to work on your computer and watch TV at the same time, it's a great solution. If you want a TV only, not so good. Controls and menus are not intuitive and quickly become bothersome. The major TV manufacturers have been incorporating consumer input for many years and their operating systems reflect this experience. Better to buy a Sony, Sharp or Samsung.

Not bad but not as good as Samsung and Toshiba.......2004-05-16

I saw this TV in a local store. They have a few model displays. THe sound system is not that good. Picture is really nice. But I'd recommend the Samsung LTN1735 and Toshiba over this one. They just seem more stylish and better. Samsung has HDTV too. Not sure about the Toshiba 17 In or 20" LCD TVs. Spend $20-40 you can get a better one. But this one is not bad, really. Its picture quality is better than Sharp's, in my opinion.

great product at a good price.......2004-03-19

For some reason, it is listed separately as the model N1700W although they are the same monitor. After I ordered this, I found the 3/3 negative reviews on the N1700W listing on amazon, I was worried. However, this is an editor's choice at PC mag on 11/2003, it can't be that bad.

After the order at Amazon, I recieved it from J&R in just two days. Like some other reviewers say, the control buttons on the monitor is too sensitive, but I find the buttons on the remote quite easy to use. So I probably won't need to touch those buttons on the monitor again.

The picture quality is decent. At first, I find the color non-uniform, but it turns out that my video card is not set at the recommended refresh rate of 60 Hz. After that, the image is sharp and clear. As with most other LCDs, only the native resolution (1280x768) works best.

If you are like myself planning to use the DVI output, it doesn't come with the cable. Make sure you order one somewhere.

There is a rebate ending 5/1/04; but it only applies to certain retailers (J&R and others). Check carefully before you purchase. With the rebate, it is priced just a little more than some other 17" LCDs. But with wide-screen, and DVI output, and built-in speakers, and TV turner with PIP and composite video input, you don't find these everyday.

Product Description

Anyone who appreciates a clear design is sure to be excited by the VX715. And its inner values are every bit as attractive as the elegant simplicity of this 17" LCD monitor. Wide viewing angles and high brightness and contrast provide excellent image quality. In addition, the model comes with both analogue and digital inputs. Due to the fast response times, even films and games are shown fluidly. What's more, an easy- to-use on-screen menu allows the convenient adjustment of screen parameters.

Amazon.com Product Description

LCD monitors have become popular both for their small profile and better image quality when compared to traditional CRT monitors. The Vx715 is a sleek, stylish model that delivers a bright, accurate image and plenty of useful features, such as wall-mount compatibility and dual analog RGB and DVI-D inputs.

This 17-inch monitor has a 1,280 x 1,024 maximum resolution and 0.264 mm dot pitch, resulting in crisp, accurate images, while a 450:1 contrast ratio and 300 cd/m2 of brightness make text and graphics easy to see. The 25 ms video response time means that motion graphics are reproduced smoothly, at broadcast quality, making this a perfect choice for gaming, watching DVDs, and more. The 140-degree horizontal and 130-degree vertical viewing angles permit easy viewing from a variety of positions. sRGB color management helps you get accurate screen-to-print colors. You can also easily adjust the monitor's setting with the on-screen display menu.

The AC 100-240V, 50-60Hz power supply consumes only 35 watts of power (maximum) and is TCO'99 and Energy Star compliant. Compatible with both PC and Mac operating platforms, the Vx715 comes backed by a generous three-year warranty.

Great monitor.......2005-05-23

I've used flatscreen monitors on my Dell laptop and use a Dell LCD at work. I'm using it at home, replacing a 17" CRT. This monitor is far superior to all these. More vivid colors and as expected a larger actual image compared to the CRT. The viewing angle is much better than the other LCD's I've used. I can view the screen from 45 degrees to the side with minimal loss of image color or clarity. On my laptop, moving just 25-30 degrees to the side and the image is mostly black.

Some reviews have suggested a potential downside is that the height of the stand is not adjustable. However, on my standard computer desk, the height is nearly perfect, and the monitor does tilt through a sufficently broad range in case the desk surface were too low or even tilting down if it were too high.

I'm very pleased with the Viewsonic VX715.

Great monitor at a reasonable price.......2005-02-07

I've been researching and looking at 17" LCD monitors for a month, looking to upgrade from my puny, no-name 15". I'm quite pleased with this little gem. Very easy setup. No dead pixels. I found the adjustment controls much more user-friendly and intuitive than several monitors that were more expensive and didn't necessarily have better picture quality. The white is blindingly true white, not dingy or yellow or washed out, as on many monitors I looked at. Text is crisp and clear, something that's important to me. Colors are rich and vibrant. I feel that the stand is sturdy and stable, and it's the right height for me - not the highest, but definitely higher than some others I'd looked at. And I got it on a one-day only sale price that saved me $50! It doesn't get better than that.

Great Monitor, no complaints.......2004-12-28

I received this monitor for Christmas and I have to say this is the best LCD I have ever seen. It's picture is so crisp and clear, with very brilliant colors. I compared this one in the store with 5 other brands and they don't even come close to the quality of this one. The stand is sturdy, and there are no dead pixels.

ViewSonic is the best.

Poor design, good image quality.......2004-12-25

I bought a VX715 recently and put it on my desk for personal use. I found the monitor stand is too high, and the its height is unadjustable. I have one dead pixel on my screen. I returned it to the store and bought a Sharp LL-172A instead. The height of the Sharp LL-172A is perfect, image quality is equally as good as VX 715, the menu is even more user friendly than View Sonic, response time is even faster, no dead pixel. Sharp LL-172A is even cheaper than VX 715, I won't recommend VX715 to anyone

love this monitor!.......2004-11-07

This monitor is clear, crisp, bright, and looks great on my desk... I like the base that allows the monitor to "float" over the desk, optimizing desk space. A great monitor!

Great speakers, great price.......2002-10-20

These are really nice speakers. Solid construction, heavy magnet and nice design...You can't beat the 5.25" woofer and bass response for their size and cost. It would be nice with a separate mid range speaker, but even despite, the highs and lows are very clear and crisp. Update, the speakers are manufactured by Recoton.

Excellent Value.......2002-09-11

These are excellent speakers for the price. Compared to the Bose 101's, these are 2-way, with a larger driver, heavier, and 1/2 the price. They have a better high-frequency response, and the bass is impressive for this price range. The mid-range is a tad bit "muddy". However, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the sound and the solid construction.

Happy Snappy.......2002-07-21

I was looking for a pair of decent speakers to hang on my sunroom wall, and I looked in the right place with these. This pair of speakers does not take the cake for the most attractive speakers, but you do not need to look at them to hear them. They sound pretty good, and considering their price, they are everything and more than I expected. They do not have the best range in the world, but they certainly satisfy me.

I got my pair at The Wiz. Nobody beats this pair of speakers at this price. I guess that is kind of ironic, becuause 'nobody beats The Wiz!' Heh heh heh heh.

Extreemly Reliable, no tech support and bad software/connectivity........2007-02-10

I've had mine for around three years now and put it through some seriously rough usage both indoor and outdoor over extended periods. The screen cover could have been a bit tougher but the buttons still look and function like new. The fast forward, rewind, play and stop wheel is a little hinky but I got used to it. I did not get the version with the radio so I can't speak to it, but the DVR only version was great .... The tech support is not there at all, international call to contact the company and the user manual is in broken English but fairly concise. The problem I eventually had was I managed to put 100 files in a folder (1 of 4) that only held 99 (via extra tag while recording). This really threw the device for a loop and the provided software is the only way to communicate with the device via your computer (it DOES NOT READ LIKE A USB DRIVE). So my device that I paid over $200 for is now trash due to a technical glitch ... talk about frustrating. Overall the device performed well though under normal usage.

You're lucky if you get to work over two months.......2005-09-28

Mine worked for only 1 month. How about that for a record! Better buy a flash-memoray based MP3 Player with recorder function.

Not reliable.......2005-05-01

I bought this product and was working fine only for 2 months. The display went off suddenly and I need to send to repair since the manufacturer wont replace the product. The repaired piece was working fine again only for 1 month and again the display panel went blank. I tried all tactics but in vain.
I think its too risky to buy this since price is too high for this performance.
