This is quite a good lcd screen and with the right sources it works well. However, note that is does not allow 480p progressive scan used in a lot of dvd players it will only allow the interlace mode 480i, which is lower quality.

I have bought 1-Samsung,1-NEC, 1-DELL and 1 Samsung TV/LCD monitor + 2 HDTV in my house. This RD2200 is the worst one. When you connect to computer output. You can not even read any thing on monitor. It blur out even at 1280x1024. It take a while to switch from one signal to the other. I do have digital TV signal from Direct TV. Picture for TV output is not as clear as other TV I have (Samsung TV/LCD). This one I got may be defective one. I test only one. Beside picture quality I still will not buy it due to time delay when switching from one mode to other. Much better spent money somewhere. Other people who bought may never connect to PC to see or have only analog cable TV and think it was signal problem from cable. It is not so. This is the first time I ever give bad comments on any products. Be careful.

I have this panel. I bought it because I wanted a TV in the bedroom and had limited space and money. I really wanted HDTV but from 6 feet away only videophiles could obviously tell the difference between EDTV and HDTV. SO I took the plunge and bought this. The rebate came quickly and yes there is NO technical support here. You are on your own. Also the warranty is serviced by AMAZON. The CR was shocked when I told her she was the one to help me. She laughed..but on with the story. I have this paired with a Samsung HDTV Directv receiver. I have my Directv TIVO and DVD player plugged into the SAMMY and then they all get connected to the LCD using DVI. The HDTV picture is fantastic and the TIVO is superior to the SVIDEO connection I used to use. The DVD is crisp and clear using 480P. The bottom line is that if you pair this with a a good video receiver you will be happy with this low cost LCD panel. And yes..don't even think of trying this as a computer monitor...It is awful!

I was really excited when I first received the LCD monitor. S-video connection with the DVD player works great. But I can't get the video component to work with this LCD. I tried with multiple DVD players and different brands of video component cables but the colors are always screwed up. I am going to return this LCD monitor. BTW, it is not clear in the user manual about whom to contact when you have problems with the LCD monitor.

I thought the product lived up to it's billing. I just use the tv portion and find it to work very well. I'm very satisfied with the product.
