Get a free 42" Plasma TV instead! Why settle for less, when you can get a brand new original Panasonic or Samsung 42 inch plasma TV for Free! I got mine from this web site: http://dusturl.com/wd
Great as a PC monitor Bought this TV from Amazon about 1 month ago. Sony was selling on sale at 1,199.00. Saved over $300, by purchasing from Amazon.
Pros -
Great as a PC monitor. It offers a very clear picture with excellent graphics and color.
Easy to flip from PC to TV or other audio inputs. You can customize the input funtion to delete any unsed inpts, in order to make the switch quicker.
Cons -
I have the TV hooked to a satellite received box that does not accept HDMI or component video inputs, therefore, I'm stuck with the S-Video as the best possible option. Even with the S-Video, the picture appears out of focus, especially for fast moving action, from less than 3 feet away. It gets better the further away you are from the unit. This is the reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5.
Overall, I recommend this unit, especially if you are looking to use it a combination TV and PC monitor.
Great product but can your computer handle it? Just got this TV last week and by far it is excellent. The colors are vibrant, the features are abundant, and I am truly happy.
However.... I use this mother of a monitor as my computer monitor, not really for TV. One thing you may want to check into is whether your computer video card can support the widescreen resolution of the monitor. At the back of the manual it points out all the supported resolutions, I think the max being WXGA 1360 x 768 (a 16:9 aspect ratio). (the others being WXGA 1280x768(15:9), XGA 1024x768 (4:3), SVGA 800x600 (4:3), SVGA 848 x480(16:9), and the VGA 640x 480 (4:3) and 720x400. My math may be off.. but I think that's about right.
If you have a newer computer with newer graphics card, it most likely will support widescreen format and the unusual 15:9 ratio.I, sadly, have a 2 year old Dell and it's sad partner of a Video Card 32MB ATI 128 Rage Pro Ultra.
This card only supports as far as 1280x720 (16:9) and 1024x768 (4:3)and the other unnecessary resolutions. If you have this videocard and you are using the Dell Drivers for ATI video card.. beware. At best you'll get a scrolling "virtual desktop" for 1280x768 and even 1280x768 output at 800x600..since the card driver and the monitor drivers didn't have any common ground... which sucks. You may read the Net and hear people recommending the program "Powerstrip" to force a resolution.. but that is totally unnecessary for a quick solution.
Now this may be bad for your computer or monitor.. but it is what I ended up doing... and noone told me otherwise. I used a non-Dell driver for the ATI Video card off the internet after some Googling (because the Dell driver is part of the problem) and the Microsoft plug and play monitor driver. (BTW.. I am using Windows Server 2003.. but I doubt that makes any difference for the driver set you use).
What I ended up with was a 1280x720 video card output with the bottom 48 pretty messed up, because the TV was still displaying at 1280x768. With a little tweaking of the WEGA gate Vertical Center to the lowest minimum, I got the screwed up part off screen and a black bar across the top. So essentially, I am displaying my desktop at 1280x720 and getting to use this widescreen as an actual widescreen (16:9) and not virtual 16:9 at 4:3.
So I now have a black bar across the top which I am ok with until i can upgrade either my computer or video card. Hope that helps anyone in a similar predicament. It's not something I was thinking about when i bought the monitor, but was pain to get around.
This is a great end of year for technology (at least from Sony) and this monitor is a prime example of the excellance. I like the timer function and light sensor features. The one thing that would have made this TV better than it already is, is Picture in Picture (PIP) between Computer and Cable TV. |
