I bought this because it's a monitor that could be used as a TV. Here's why this is better than just buying a regular 23" LCD television:1) I basically I got a name brand 23 inch television for under $300. I thought that was a great deal.2) This TV/Monitor can handle 1080p. Most TVs this size are only 720. Why does that matter? Because I share the source for this television with another TV, and now I don't have to keep switching between 720 and 1080 resolution if I move to another room.3) This is a monitor. Most TVs this size do not have a PC input.I really like this product for the price. I think the picture is good and the sound is pretty good for the size.If I had to find one con, it would be the off axis viewing, which most LCDs are going to be poor for this. I have this mounted on a wall, and if you are sitting on the floor, the picture and colors are very washed out and slightly dark. Again, this is what you're going to get with most LCDs, so I'm not upset, just a note about the product.
