Most Favorable Review

Heart stopper at first!

ViewSonic 20.1" Active Matrix, TFT LCD WSXGA LCD Monitor 8ms gray-to-gray (avg.); 16ms white-black-white (typ) D-Sub, DVI-D X Series VX2025WM
ViewSonic 20.1" Active Matrix, TFT LCD WSXGA LCD Monitor 8ms gray-to-gray (avg.); 16ms white-black-white (typ) D-Sub, DVI-D X Series VX2025WM

Pros: Awesome monitor. Very nice design with the silver trim. No dead/stuck pixels. Very little backlight bleed. Makes Oblivion come alive.

Cons: Cannot keep aspect ratio fixed using 91.36 Nvidia drivers with my 7900GT card. Display just says *Out Of Range*. Monitor does not support fixed aspect ratio scaling itself, so you have to rely on the video card drivers. Hope this gets fixed soon.

Overall Review: When i first hooked it up to my 7900GT DVI port, it just displayed *Out Of Range* on the display. I thought I was hosed, but I moved it to the other DVI port on my 7900GT card, and everything worked. Whew!

Most Critical Review

Marginal TV, returned

Seiki 32" Class 1080p 60hz LED TV - SE32FY22
Seiki 32" Class 1080p 60hz LED TV - SE32FY22

Pros: - Cheap price for a 32" TV with 3 HDMI inputs. - No dead or stuck pixels

Cons: - Washed out colors - Very poor sound quality - No cable clear QAM tuner, so no local HD cable channels - Unable to display PC 1920x1080 video at 1:1 scaling, display was over-scanned (edges of desktop were cut off).

Overall Review: I compared this TV to a 32" Samsung UN32F5000AFXZA which I also have, and the Seiki was very lacking. I returned it to Newegg, who graciously provided return shipping. Newegg rocks!

Excellent laptop
