Cheap HD 1440×720P LCD TV (Dynex DX-LCD19-09, Bought at Best Buy $199)
Turns out I bought this on Black Friday, but really I bought it returning from the airport after 4 days in Los Angeles, CA with my brother for thanksgiving. We went to Disneyland for Thanksgiving day, not a terrible deal but I feel like I got run over by a Disney ad campaign (bring your gas mask if you do the “autopia” ride, CA emissions test hasn’t touched that ride). Anyhow, coming home on black friday, stopped off at Best Buy and picked up this LCD TV.. I reckon having a HDTV in my ramada …

It’s excellent as a TV, it is terrible probably for HD or video games.. I reckon there is some shielding lacking between the TV tuning stuff and the digital components or something.. It doesn’t seem to be very well loved to have so many inputs in one set.. That’s why I got it, but there us probably a technical reason for that.
Your right, it is a small fuzzy on the VGA but its not that terrible. It has to be 60Hertz and 1080 by something to make it look excellent. Everyday, I keep hoping this horizontal line doesn’t come back and it keep coming back -_- The book says that I must not have it close to another electronic device and its not. Hope it doesn’t come back tomorrow. Thanx for the Review.
I was really noticing that in VGA mode it is quite noisy, I’m thinking that it doesn’t have proper shielding inside to guard the video decoder from the other inputs. You can get warranties from guys like Best Buy, I reckon up to 3 years. This was the only LCD-TV I could find with a variety of inputs. Usually you have HDMI and SVHS and some sort of composite input.. But hardly ever VGA (DVI) and Cable, RGB, etc. I admit I don’t use mine a whole lot, these days I watch TV on my laptop.
After 5 months of use. I come across this permanent Horizontal line that I can’t get rid of. Its a small thin line that shows itself in every Video Mode. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you don’t mind looking at a small line all the time.
I’m on vacation now, about 1000 miles away, so I can’t demonstrate this TV right now, but when I get home I can.. Just say me in a couple of days, and I’ll see to it.
NTSC video will always look terrible on any TV, this is because the video encoding for the ancient TV standard involved taking a fraction of the blue, red and green signals and combining them together into a single signal, with a dispurportionate amount of green to red and blue, because the human eye is sensitive to green more than blue and red. It looks fine from a distance unless you capture a picture from the screen and there is color bleeding. But cable, composite, DVI and HDMI on a LCD is rare.
Video on the TV is standard so it’s not HD. I don’t have HD where I am at, so I can’t demonstrate that. I could have demonstrated its support for computer video if I had connected my computer. So for standard video and DVD (SVHS) video, it looks pretty excellent, but I haven’t tested it for high resolutions. But as far as features go, it has more than the ones I researched.. Mainly the variety of video inputs. What we wanted it for was for taking video from standard NTSC without a computer TV card.
BTW tell me how much you paid, I paid about 200 dollars for this one. I dare you, fine me an LCD monitor with TV Tuner and HDMI, VGA (computer) , RGB separated composite, Composite, S-Video. It even has a port for SPDIF.
I dare you, find me a better monitor, within this price range.. I doubt you will find one, unless maybe for 500 dollars.
BTW, the sound sucks from the TV, but connect it to a stereo or some cheap computer speakers, Get some Dell D20’s (I reckon that is the model).. The speakers sell for about 5 dollars on EBAY, I buy in packs of 10 for 50 dollars.. And they sound about as excellent as BOSE, hole in back for pseudo subwoofer. Or get a computer 5.1 surround sound speaker setup, I have an Altec Lansing THX 4.1 that I still prefer, makes the floor rumble.
Okay find me one that is better.. I’ve looked, there is nothing better.. BTW, your ancient TV sucks, because it wasn’t digital and had scan lines, the analog looks better on a CRT but when it goes to LCD you realize just how much NTSC/PAL signals suck. Now if you are talking about LCD monitor, tell me what you connected and how? It’s probably that you connected your PS3 to the RCA jacks.. No use the HDMI or VGA connectors. When in digital mode it acts like a regular LCD monitor.
It’s really a computer monitor with a builtin TV tuner.. It takes in HDMI and VGA, so you can hook your computer and game systems to it. I haven’t tried it with those game systems, but I wouldn’t doubt it’s ability to do well with digital video signals. We got it because of the TV tuner ability cause we needed it to work with a VCR and cable input. It also has more video inputs than most LCD-TV’s.
The sound quality from the monitor speaker is dinky, I end up connecting it to a external set of speakers. You might try going down to your local thrift store or computer discount store (every city has one), some people ditch their ancient surround sound system when they get a new one. There is a bunch of Dell computer speakers, A215 is the ones I use.. Those speakers are as excellent as BOSE speakers, and have a excellent Bass output.
