ViewSonic VT2300LED 23-Inch 1920x1080p LED LCD HDTV with Built-in HDTV Tuner, Black

I purchased this television as a computer monitor. I wanted it because of the LCD backlight, built in speakers, and large screen, for a computer monitor. When I purchased it my computer had not yet been built so I hooked it up to my cable box and WOW what a great picture! Granted I was coming from an old CRT television but hey this thing was very impressive! It is very customizable and can be set on preset settings as well. It worked great to replace a 1981 circa Magnavox in my bedroom. I used it for a couple of weeks as a television and when my computer came in I switched it to a computer monitor. I had purchased an HDMI cable from AMAZON before my computer arrived. Plugged in the HDMI cable and the power and keyboard and wal-la the picture came on with the sound!

I got this tv for my apartment bedroom at college, and it is great. Easily hooked up to my computer to watch movies, gets great hd local channels with an antenna.

I would give it 5 stars, but the speakers don't sound that good. They are on the back, and therefore project sound backwards, but the tv has a headphone out, and was very easy to plug in some computer speakers that sound better.

The tv also looks amazing, very sleek.

I love it :)

The first one I received worked brilliantly for the first day, then I turned it on the 2nd morning and it just cycled through the channel list without actually stopping or showing anything. I was pretty disappointed but Amazon made it easy to return. I printed up my label, the UPS guy showed up with a second box, I gave him my return box, and I was up and running again in about a week. Not too bad I suppose.

One observation. I'm very supportive of Amazon wanting to be a green company but I really think that part of the reason my first TV had an issue is because they shipped the TV in the box it came in without any additional packaging. So it got to me...Read more
