Aspect ratio: The aspect ratio refers to the shape of the video image. Standard television has a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is almost square in appearance. Digital television will have either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio, which is widescreen and appears rectangular, looking more like a movie screen and filling more of the viewer's field of vision for a more lifelike viewing experience.

 WoW, cant get any better than this!!! June 22, 2004
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I've gotten this as a gift and am using it as a computer/tv in my bedroom. The picture quality first off is amazing. I didnt set up the HDTV yet but on new dvd's the picture is awesome. With its widescreen format i can use the computer and and set up a web page or any application on the left side and have the tv PiP mode on the right side with plenty of room. the PiP can be either 6 or 12 inches in diagonal, and sound source can be from the tv as well, so you can watch espn while surfin the net or writing a paper. When in regular full TV mode the picture is set right in the middle with two black lines to fill up the screen. if your watching a wideformat film on TV you can press the WIDE button and it zooms in the screen to make it fuller, although it doesnt get it perfect, but its still helpfull. After pressing the WIDE button 3 times it become a 4x zoom mode. The sound quality is pretty good, the only thing that is it doesnt really get too low,it goes from zero to 50, but when i'm at 1 or 2 it sounds just like its at 5, but thats no big deal. Currently i have my cable, computer and PS2 hooked up to it, all within a touch of a button i switch in between either three. Oh yea, and all my friend looovvveeee it, i dont want to say they are jealous, but they get this look in their face like ooooooohhh.
N2700W as a Computer Monitor January 8, 2006

Best monitor I have owned. For people having trouble using this as a computer monitor, use a good video card, I am running a GeForse FX 5200 with 128 MB Ram. Set the computers resolution to the monitor's native resolution (1280 X 720). The software driver will set up the refresh rate a 60hz. Reset it to 72hz manually and everything will sharpen up to a crisp picture. You will have an unbelievable monitor. I am totally impressed. My power supply is not loud at all, it's hardly audible with the sound off.
 Great TV. Recommended December 7, 2004

I needed a new TV and computer monitor. I purchased this N2700w at a superb price and it has been great. The TV is a good size for a small room and provides great picture clarity. I hooked it up to my computer no-problem via the VGA cable that is provided. It also has a DVI input which I have no cable for yet. Of course you will need a video card with a DVI input. This thing is superb when watching in HDTV. The clarity is unbelievable and as sharp as the HDTV's that you would see in electronics store. You will need to get an HDTV receiver from your cable company or a standalone receiver and antenna to pull in over-the-air channels. Cable TV doesn't look too great but DVD's look fantastic. I can switch to my computer or cable with a touch of a button, which is very convenient. You can also use the computer and use the PIP to watch tv at the same time.
The other user who had trouble connecting to the computer may have had some kind of software conflict, or needed to resize his desktop to the native resolution and reduce font/icon size. Images will be "fuzzy" if this monitor is not running at the native resolution, which is an inherent problem in all LCD's. I too experience a different conflict when I attempted to install DAO/MDAC from ATI, resulting in a "rainbow" image. I immediately uninstalled and did some tweaking which restored compatibility to my monitor. This may have been a situation unique to me though. This LCD is definitely compatible with a computer so this shouldn't be a deterrent.
The power supply is a little loud but not annoyingly so. It has a built in fan that goes on and off, and is not heard unless there is dead silence. The bad part is that the fan seems to go on/off even when the TV is not in use. I contacted Viewsonic and they said that this is a normal occurence. I'm not happy about it but choose to live with it. This can be remedied by turning off the surge protector, which may or may not be a good idea.
I do some gaming on this LCD and am quite happy with the results. The native resolution is 1280x720 and I only have a few games, such as Farcry and UT2004, that support this resolution. However, resolutions can be changed for other games, and I run Call of Duty at 1024x768 with great results. The response time is rated at 25ms overall which I think is a little slow. However, the gray-to-gray response time is 16ms which is a more important indicator of real world applications. Ghosting or trailing seems to be very minimal and all my games are definitely playable. The only time ghosting was noticeable is when a black object is moving against a white background. I suspect the pixel transition from black to white is a little slower than the reverse (Tr>Tf), though I haven't done any extensive testing. Need for Speed Underground is incredible with this tv and no ghosting was apparent to my eyes. This LCD is pretty good for gaming but not the best due to response time.
If I had the money I would consider the Sharp Aquos or a Samsung because those look absolutely perfect. I didn't get a chance to compare this model side-by-side with the aforementioned. However this LCD is more than adequate and I'm very happy with it. All-in-all, if you're a hardcore gamer you might want to find an LCD with a better response time. If you find this on sale at a good price, like I did, then I would absolutely recommend it.
Great PC Monitor September 14, 2007
C. Swallows (Gainesville, FL United States)
I have been using the Viewsonic 2700W as a PC monitor for over 19 months and have been very happy with it. Just make sure that you have the latest driver for your video card and it will work fine with sharp screen images and text. One problem that you may encounter with the video driver is that some cards will automatically recognize the monitor and download their driver. However, that driver may have a max resolution of 1280x720 whereas many software programs are now requiring a min resolution of 1024x768 and won't work with the monitor's native resolution. So make sure your video drivers are capable of higher resolutions.
Also, the complaints about the noise from the power supply are justifiable. It is a design flaw in the FSP-180-1ADE11 but the noise is not noticable (at least with my unit) unless you demand a quiet environment to work in. My power supply became erratic and started overheating so I bought a compatible one from Shenentech that does not have a fan. Very quiet. Anyone want to buy a used power supply?
 Finally the 2700W is repaired June 20, 2010
Rocky (Hong Kong)
I got this 2700W TV from a friend, who asked me to fix it. (but he later chosen to buy another TV) He used it for 2 years and experienced all sorts of problems. The screen mess up after turn on for 1-2 hours, and power supply overheat and smell came of from it.
I got the TV in winter 2009, after replacing capacitors (voltage regulating components inside), it works in evening but not in the morning. I assumed that it is a thermo problem and left it aside. In order to rule out if the problem came from the power supply, I mail ordered a supply of the same specification.
The new power supply works fine, but picture still mess up after around 1 hours of operation.
Recently, I opened a 32mm hole at the back of the TV, added a small fan which sucks away hot air from the main chip. All problems were gone and it works great.
I don't understand how Viewsonic can make a 180 watts power supply so small, only double of the size of typical 45W notebook power supply. I disassembled the problematic power supply. I found that the components were very closely packed. Although it comes with a noisy small fan, the air path was probraly obstructed.
After repair, I like this TV. The menu is easy to use, come with PIP (picture in picture). The screen quality is good and I could not find any dead spot on the LCD panel.
I don't under why Viewsonic not to work better on the overheat problem. Viewsonic is cheap to buy, I will still consider it if they have some improve on the abovesaid issues.
