| User Reviews |  | Not for Hardcore Gamers rating: 1
I am a LONG TIME pc user and pc gamer.
I wanted this for a
1. tv
2. pc gaming monitor
3. xbox gaming monitor
4. dvd veiwing device.
Here is how I rate this monitor on these four levels on a scale of 1 to 5:
1. tv = 2
2. pc gaming monitor = 2
3. xbox = 1
4. dvd = 3
The ghosting for normal operations is almost too much to live with. I returned this item just so you know. The rca inputs gave me only black and white images. This could have been because my monitor was defective. I am not sure.
Ghosting during gaming was very bad. Worse than that was it's lack of good brightness control.
This is not for gamers.

What a picture!! rating: 5
I just received this from Amazon. I want to also commend the people at Amazon for their service. I bought this and used their free shipping option without realizing how much longer it would take with that method. I still received my TV a week after purchasing. Now that's fast!! I am also impressed with this TV. The picture is incredible!! I must admit that it helps to use the S-Video port if you have that capability. I just need to get a VGA cable for my lap top and I will really be set. So far just my cable and DVD player have the S-Video ports. Thanks Amazon for your quick service and great selection!!

Great unit rating: 5
This is a great little unit. I have been using it on my desk for the last year, and it works flawlessly. The only issues are the delay when switching between inputs and sometime the PIP stays on when it is supposed to be off. I have also hooked up my xbox and computer to it, and it is a great system. The swivel base and carry handle are two great features. I would rate it an economic buy, and not a top of the line unit, based on the color settings and the image.

Gateway 17 inch Widescreen LCD TV/ Monitor rating: 4
The unit is really nice, well constructed and performs very well. The only problem is when viewing the TV mode, it is true, you cannot correct/lower/adjust the color saturation. You can do this when on the computer (PC mode) and are watching TV through the PIP mode. The sound is good, the connections are good, the clearity is fine, and there is little "poor response" due to the fast processing of information. There is a nice remote, instructions and easy to use buttons on the front of the panel. The built in swivel base adjusts both side to side and up and down. There is S-Video connections, Composite, DVI inputs as well as PC connection. This is an HD READY system and accepts all other types of inputs such as DVD, VCR, Camcorder. This product is limited in availability presently but for the money and overall quality, this is a winner.
