i-bystander Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Looking for a good deal on an LCD TV. Budget of around $500, give or take. Preferably at least 20" - bigger is better, of course (but not really). What do you guys think about ViewSonic and/or Olevia/Syntax? Any personal experiences/good reviews? I can wait till BF, but I'm not sure what kind of deals we're getting this year, so I thought I'd start exploring some options... Here's some of the better options I came across: http://ak.buy.com/db_assets/prod_images/083/90146083.jpgViewSonic NextVision N2010 - 20" LCD TV ($380 AR) http://ak.buy.com/db_assets/prod_images/012/201671012.jpgOlevia LT20S 20" LCD TV ($390 AR) http://ak.buy.com/db_assets/prod_images/449/90148449.jpgOlevia LT26HVE 26" LCD TV ($650 AR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I would choose ViewSonic over Syntax/Olevia unless you got a SUPER AMAZING DEAL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meghan Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I too, am looking for a 19 or 20" LCD TV. Someone else pointed out the Viewsonic to me, but I'm skeptical b/c I've never heard of Viewsonic before and I'd rather go with a reputable brand like Sony or Sharp. I'm also considering the Dell LCDs. Can anyone comment on how Viewsonic/Dell compare to Sharp and Sony? btw, the Viewsonic 2010 is a little cheaper at ZipZoomFly.com, $50 rebate expires tomorrow.

Marcster Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Meghan -- Viewsonic is a HUGE manufacturer of computer monitors (LCD & CRT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Meghan -- Viewsonic is a HUGE manufacturer of computer monitors (LCD & CRT).I can confirm that Viewsonic is one of the largest monitor manufacturers and has been in business for almost 20 years. http://www.viewsonic.com/images/LOGO_vs.gif http://www.viewsonic.com/companyinfo/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcster Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 IMHO, for Viewsonic to "add" a TV tuner to a LCD monitor is a very natural transition. By that I mean, I would expect a Viewsonic LCD TV to be every bit as good as their computer monitors. That being said, I couldn't find ANY reviews of it, either by Googling or through Epinions...

Marcster Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Hmmmmm, just found one. Maybe I was wrong... ViewSonic N2010 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824116356&ATT=LCD Vladimir S., 10/18/2005 9:20:14 AMResolution Is Way Too LittlePurchased this in October 2005 because it seemed like a good value for a 20' TV. Item arrived the next day, NewEgg is the best! Upon arrival I was surprised to see the poor quality of picture, and especially weird colors when displaying pinks, bright reds and bright blues. Other then the poor quality of the image TV looked great (physically). Resolution on this TV is way to little 640x480. It should be around 600x800 to experience a decent picture. Newegg has been great on the return thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meghan Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Thanks for all of your replies. I decided to hold off on that Viewsonic deal, and I'm hoping to find a good deal on a Sharp, Sony, or Dell (less than $500). So if anyone finds one, let me know. Thanks!
