Amazon.com Product Description

ViewSonic's NextVision N3200w 32-inch LCD television features powerful image-enhancing technologies for stunning TV and video entertainment, including compatibility with high-definition picture sources from your DTV receiver or personal computer. Intense colors, high-contrast images, native 1,280 x 768 resolution, and powerful onboard speakers with virtual surround sound capability will immerse you in the action. There's even a front-panel digital media reader so you can view your favorite digital photos.

The N3200w offers a direct-digital DVI (Digital Visual Interface) with HDCP (high-definition content protection), ensuring long-term compatibility with evolving HD technology. Video games and movies come to life with the set's super-fast 18 ms response time, which produces smooth motion video. A high brightness LCD panel, 600:1 contrast ratio, and 170-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles combine to further enhance the overall visual experience.

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, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be cheaper and, to some eyes, slightly more natural looking than their plasma flat-panel counterparts, which usually "spec" higher (higher brightness, higher contrast ratio).

The N3200w also performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; reverse 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

The N3200w's integrated NTSC tuner grants convenient off-air reception of standard-definition programs, while its powerful audio system (12 watts per channel x 2) sports a dedicated subwoofer output for use with an optional powered subwoofer to enhance bass frequencies in all your programs.

Compatible with analog and digital PC and Macintosh computer systems, the television also offers component-, composite-, and S-video input connections, as well as the DVI terminal mentioned above. Full, single-tuner picture-in-picture and split-screen functions let you preview 2 video inputs simultaneously. The set comes with a matching 51-key remote control and can be easily attached to a wall using an optional mounting kit.

Customer Reviews:

Somewhat good.......2005-08-04

The Good:
-The Media reader is a great add-on. It works with standard scroll and slideshow functions.
-The Sound is great, it's good to not have to hook all components to the receiver and TV. With the n3200w, you can have one input to the receiver from the tv, and it sounds great (it's only stereo. No dolby 5.1).
-The tv is bright. It has no problem being too dark, and even if it is, there is a menu to adjust the brightness and contrast

The Bad:
-With all analog input signals (except the PC), the picture gets very NOISY. Items in focus are usually void of this problem, but there is lots of noise on backgrounds. It also has a bad problem with fading. For example, if you ever seen the New Line Cinema logo/intro to a movie, there is a glow behind the picture of the film. With this tv, the glow is very fuzzy, and it isn't a smooth transition from light to dark; you see "steps." This is has not been a problem with using the VGA and DVI inputs however. Perhaps it has a problem with scaling to any resolution besides it's native (1280x768).

Overall:
The ViewSonic is a good overall package, especially for the price. It is wall mountable (although I haven't tried it), and it has most of the needed inputs (except HDMI, which you can buy a converter to DVI). However, for straight cable signals, s-video and component, you will have to move your seat/couch back if you don't want to notice noise and "rain" in the background.

Great Value.......2005-08-03

This is a quality LCD at a great price. I recommend it to anyone in the LCD market.

Viewsonic Support.......2005-05-16

Viewsonic does not offer in home service for this large monitor (like many other manufacturers). If you have a problem you will need to ship it to Viewsonic.

I have what I thought was a minor problem which could easily be resolved. The media reader did not work properly. After much going back and forth with Viewsonic their service department determined the media reader portion of the N3200W does not work properly with some standard digital camera files and now states "the media reader is considered a courtesy picture viewing function of the display" and as such will not guarantee that it will perform properly. The N3200W product information does not call the reader a courtesy function as I took in good faith it would work, it doesn't work with many jpg files.

I have not yet determined if all other functions work properly (I don't use all the inputs/outputs). Are there other "Courtesy" functions not supported by Viewsonic?

Highly Recommended LCD HDTV.......2004-12-14

Great features - Wonderful picture quality connecting to regular satelite TV, Upconverter samsung hd dvd player (thru DVI input) and computer - Good price 2078$ from microcenter (compare to other expensive 32'' lcd tv like sony, panasonic, sharp...). That is all i can say about this lcd hdtv after 3 days of using.
I have bought 26'' samsung, sharp and 30'' olevia. None of them is as good as this one. I returned them all. I highly recommend of this one. Hopefully, this would help you guys something on purchasing a TV. (-:

Product Description

Tyler Acoustics designed Freedom loudspeaker systems to offer the absolute best value for your speaker dollar! For starters, they share some of the same cabinets with more expensive lines. This keeps the manufacturing cost down and allows Freedom owners to have the same 1" thick heavy duty, hand built, hand veneered, hand finished cabinets as the Taylo and Linbrook owners. The components that go into each Freedom speaker are also very high quality and using them is unheard of at this price point. They each use the Seas aluminum cone woofers and mids along with the Vifa ring dome tweeter. Each Freedom speaker system is bi-wireable and bi-ampable.

Don't believe the journal reviews.......2004-03-19

I accepted the reviews in major trade magazines. I'm now ready to return my second monitor back to viewsonic. A major disappointment after having great success with another monitor. I believe it is a model specific issue.

If only it worked!.......2004-03-04

This LCD worked for about 2 days.

Now it doesn't.

Customer support is pathetic, hence this review.

It was a wonderful 2 days, though!

Poor construction quality and image.......2004-01-23

For the first 4 months, this monitor worked well. The image was decent, although not as crisp or stable as my CTX 17" LCD. I liked the televison feature too. Minor annoyances included highly sensitive buttons and the flimsy speaker covers.

The real problems started after about 4 months. The monitor went dead. It did display from the PC or television. It did not respond to any of the controls (remote or on the unit itself). I could not turn it off from the power button either.

I called Viewsonic and they had me ship the unit back and they supposedly sent me a new one. I immediately installed the unit and had the same problems. It did not repsond to any of the buttons. When I plugged it in, it turned itself on, but did not respond to any of the controls.

They sent another and I had the same exact problems. Finally, I called back and they sent a third unit without me even having to send the 2nd replacement back. So, now I'm using the 3rd replacement and this one is far from acceptable. The screen had an extremely distracting flicker. I solved the problem by adjusting the LCD setting. Now, I'm looking at fuzzy text. Not all of the text is fuzzy, just random letters and characters. It looks almost like output from a copier or printer w/ a toner problem. The fuzzy letters form a striping like effect. I'm not experienced enough to check card settings. However, the average user should not have to endure such problems.

Save your money.......2003-10-05

I've brought the monitor around 3/03. The picture quality is excellent. DVDs looks great on it. The TV is ok. The TV colors are not as vivid as my CRT tv.
The only caveat is problems with the controls: this includes both the buttons on the monitor and the accompanying remote control. I keep getting this problem where the both the remote and monitor control keep locking-up. When it locks, it can't be turn on or off no matter if it is on or off already. The only way to fix it is to manually power down the monitor by turning-off the UPS or unplugging the monitor. I've already sent the monitor back once for service and got it back. I still have the same problem. I assume they didn't fix it. I suspect it is a firmware problem. It has become an annoying nuisance.

Save your money and don't get this model. It is more problem than it is worth. For a $900 LCD monitor, I expected better quality. Usually, they make good stuff, but I think they missed the boat on this one. They have other models and other makers also have LCD-TVs also.

Update(2/2004) - All 4 of the monitors that they sent me never work correctly. Guess what? I was able to ascertain from one of the technical support rep. that the supposedly "new" replacment monitors (I'm using that term very loosely) are actually monitors that were used before as demos or showcase items which they are calling "new". To make long story short, they keep sending me these defective monitors and I keep sending them back. They have a no refund policy. Good luck to people who brought this monitor. Just be wary of magazine reviews.

I just hope my experience will help people out. Looking from the list of reviews, I'm not the only one with the same quality control issue with this monitor. Well, this is my first and will be my last ViewSonic product.

A good light weight tripod for spotter or camera.......2004-09-09

I've been using this tripod with my 35mm cameras, medium format cameras (Hasselblads), ETX90 spotting scope and Orion Short Tube 80 refractor. The tripod performs well in most cases, and has a built in bubble level to help in leveling the tripod. The only shortcomings are that the pan head is difficult to adjust in small increments, so centering items in the telescopes are not as effortless as one would like. This tripod is a great platform for a 35mm camera or a medium format camera with shorter lenses. When I use my longest lenses (350mm & 500mm) on my Hasselblad, I have to take additional measures to insure that the tripod remains steady. Then again, these are probably beyond what this tripod was designed for.

The case is a great way to store and carry the tripod.
