Customer Reviews

good picture
Pros:
- Good Picture
- Excellent Resolutions
- Many features, Many different AV inputs
- Prices reasonable

Cons:
- It had to take 3 seconds to start the picture
- No matter you turn off with the switch on the TV or from the remote, it is always on stand by mode. Not actually turn off.
- The side AV input is not usable. You have to use them at the back of the TV.

Good choice as PC Monitor too!
Had this since Nov 2007. All black will not distract you from your viewing. I sometimes watch videos from my PC using a nice long VGA cable. I also use it for PowerPoint presentations for in-home meetings. Has an easy to use menu and auto calibration mode too. Sceptre has been known in computer circles for decent monitors which is why I bought this. I use it for my daily business needs as well as for evening entertainment. IMHO you can't go wrong with this set as it accommodates even the highest resolution output from today's gaming graphic cards. So as a TV or as a monitor for your PC, this unit covers all the bases! BTW: I plan on buying a second unit for Christmas.
