Home > Consumer Reviews > Envision EN-7500 17" LCD Flat Panel Monitor with TV Tuner

I am by no means a monitor expert but I did check the EN-7500 out quite a bit before getting it. The only two legitimate choices out there now for this kind of product are Envision and Samsung. (There are a few other brands but you only see them in a few places and I can't speak to their quality.) I went with the Envision because I've been happy with the brand in the past and they had a better price.
So far it's been everything I'd hoped it would be. As a monitor, it works better than any I've ever seen and the T.V. feature makes it worth every penny. I mainly use it for the picture in picture capabilities so I can watch a game or something while I'm working. I plugged it an inexpensive set of computer speakers for better sound. I've only had it for two weeks and I'm already wondering how I ever got along without it. I'll soon be buying another one for my daughter's dorm room.
Apples to apples this monitor will match up with a simmilarly priced Samsung AND save you a little money. There may be something better out there but it's goint to cost you [dollar amount]

I have been suprised by the performance of EN-7500. For 700$ I received many usefull features in a very small space on my desk.

I could say a lot of good words about EN-7500, but it's better to see by yourself.

Only some comments:
- The best resolution - 1280/1024. I strongly recommend to use this mode.
- buttons are tight, so I prefer to change everything using remote control
- my video card (Asus-3800) decided, that monitor support 32-bit color and I tried it. NEVER FOLLOW THIS WAY! Result have been extrimely bad. I had some problems even with 24-bit. 16-bit gave me wonderfull picture. Maybe it's my videocard, but...
- TV picture depends on channel and may very a lot. So, try different channels before making decisions about this products.
- I fully agree with previous review: Brightness=0 Contrast=100

IMHO, Envision EN-7500 is better than Samsung 170MP (800$) and little bit worse than Samsung 171MP (1000$) - I checked all three monitors in CompUSA together. So, if don't want to spend 1K on 171MP, I would strongly recommend to buy Envision EN-7500.

TV is like having no TV, very bad picture quality. Returned it.
Get Ag neovo LCD for PC, or any other good LCD for PC only, and add Viewsonic tv tuner box VB50HRTV with it if you want to see excellent quality TV / DVD... You'll get also very good "real" remote with it .
another advantage is that when you get LCD for PC without tuner is that its much thinner and lighter, can hang on walls etc...while the viewsonic exterior tuner can be situated anywhere in the room.
After all why pay additional [money] for a built in tuner when you can get much better tuner for [less money]

This monitor works awsome, and now I can watch TV in the Picture in Picture, and turn on the close captioning and work away while enjoying the news, or sporting events. Combining Work, and Play, what a concept....Thanks for a great product Envision.

I find this monitor to be an excellent product for my use. The picture for the computer is excellent, and the PIP, although small, is also very clear. The full-size TV picture is only OK; therefore, I would not recommend it as a primary TV. Very easy to set up and use. I highly recommend it as a computer monitor in which you can also watch PIP TV.
