ViewSonic VT2430 24-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV Review
We've been watching this (actually 23.5 inch diagonal) Viewsonic HDMI TV in our kitchen for several months now. I haven't yet gotten another HD Verizon decoder for this TV, but even in standard definition this is a great TV. This is stupid on my part, because I spent a lot of time looking for a 1080p HDTV in this size. I have only tried out the 1080i HD in another room (where we have the 1080i Verizon DVR) shortly after it arrived (before I installed it in the kitchen). I use it with some external (computer) speakers with a subwoofer so I cannot accurately comment about its sound quality. I have it on a wall mount above the refrigerator. The one thing about this mounting position is I have to be careful when putting things on top of the refrigerator (below the TV). This is because the control buttons are on the bottom of the unit... a good thing for reaching them when it's up high, but easy to bump and accidentally change something. Fortunately, the remote control is easy to use to correct (reset) the settings. The TV menu structure seems intuitive and easy to use. It has several different inputs (see the product tech details) in addition to an HDMI input for the HD signal. All in all, I'd buy another one of these if or when I am in the market for another TV this size, such as for a bedroom or as a computer monitor.

Customer Reviews
Colors and resolution when is used as monitor is not ok - Dany De Cecchis - San Diego, CA. USA
In general the TV is really good, I used with a PS3 and as monitor with my laptop. When I use it as a monitor, through a HDMI monster cable, the color is pale and the desktop passes a little bit the edges of the tv. So, sharpness when is used as monitor is poor.
Great TV for a bedroom - K.J.K. - GA, US
Good picture quality, easy to set up. Only had it a short while, but I'm impressed how nice it is for how little it cost. The only gripe I have is that it only has one HDMI connection.
Two Tv's, both defective - Kelly Jordan -
Received the TV very quickly, and worked fine when first out of the box and hooked up through component cables and a DVD player. After being turned off the first time, however, whenever I tried to start it up, it would go to the ViewSonic logo, sit there for a few seconds, then restart itself! No button input (from remote or the bottom panel) would work.
I called ViewSonic, and the phone tech had me try the "hard reset". Did not work. The said it was something defective in the hardware, and to return it.
I requested a replacement through Amazon, and, again, received the replacement very quickly. The same exact thing happened with this one! It would work the first time, then go into a loop any time after that! I even hooked this TV up in a different room, thinking it could be some sort of power surge.
I am guessing that ViewSonic put out a bad batch. No replacement this time, just a refund.
