FS - Envison Widescreen 27" LCD HDTV for $550, 32" for 750

[g man]

If I recall correctly quite a few RFDers were very happy with this LCD. The 32" is $50 off too, so $750.

I have the 27" and am quite happy with it, only downside to this t.v. is that I have to press power twice to turn it on. also, there's a slight hiss in the sound only noticeable when I have the volume down really low.
Overall, for the price you pay, the picture quality is great, plus it has the ATSC tuner which I get free over the air HD channels that look amazing.

do these things work well as computer monitors?

(it sez VGA input, what resolution is that?)

Great TV for the price. Bought the 27' a few months ago when it was on sale for $550. Only issue I've noticed is the hissing noise (very difficult to notice). I have my computer hooked up to it with a DVI to HDMI cable, running at 720p (1080i is also possible but the interlacing makes small text unreadable, just like it would on any TV).

[good deal bc]

done, missed that earlier.

I am thinking of getting the 27" for my parents, they have a big old-school wall unit that has a fixed 30" wide space for TV. This set is like 0.5 inches wider though.

[Woah!]

I axed my 19" Benq for a 27" Acer bought for $535 @ Zellers a few weeks ago.
It's hooked up through DVI and works great for Internet,gaming & multimedia.
I don't do any type of graphics or word processing at home,so I don't have any problems with the lower rez.
I could see it being a problem with spreadsheets or small text,so try it first.

i checked this out at FS and I find that the quality is absolutely terrible... i can see ghost images all over and the color is just bad.. worse than the prima next to it. I asked the csr if it was the source but he said no.. htat's just the way it is

i guess u gotta see it yourself to see if it's what u're lookking for

I'm a bit of an idiot when it comes to stuff like this heh, however I'm looking to buy a new TV, and I'd like it to be a flatscreen one. Is this TV worth buying, or even looking at, if I don't currently have HDTV capabilities?

No, because for SD channels/sources the quality on regular non-HDTV CRT is usually better than lower end LCD TV's such as this one. Depends what you use the TV for really .. if you watch 24, Heroes, Prison Break, or other television shows in HD, you'll want HDTV. And right now there is no standard for HD-DVD/Blu-ray, so until then you're only taking advantage of HDTV widescreen for watching TV and playing PS3/360/Wii games.

This TV is horrible
Save your $550 and do not buy this TV
Colors suck, Remote is ugly, slow response it's like a 3rd. old panel !
