Aspect ratio: The aspect ratio refers to the shape of the video image. Standard television has a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is almost square in appearance. Digital television will have either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio, which is widescreen and appears rectangular, looking more like a movie screen and filling more of the viewer's field of vision for a more lifelike viewing experience.

 Great PC Monitor September 14, 2007
C. Swallows (Gainesville, FL United States)
I have been using the Viewsonic 2700W as a PC monitor for over 19 months and have been very happy with it. Just make sure that you have the latest driver for your video card and it will work fine with sharp screen images and text. One problem that you may encounter with the video driver is that some cards will automatically recognize the monitor and download their driver. However, that driver may have a max resolution of 1280x720 whereas many software programs are now requiring a min resolution of 1024x768 and won't work with the monitor's native resolution. So make sure your video drivers are capable of higher resolutions.
Also, the complaints about the noise from the power supply are justifiable. It is a design flaw in the FSP-180-1ADE11 but the noise is not noticable (at least with my unit) unless you demand a quiet environment to work in. My power supply became erratic and started overheating so I bought a compatible one from Shenentech that does not have a fan. Very quiet. Anyone want to buy a used power supply?

I purchased this model 3yrs ago for Xmas 2004 when it was the latest technoloy.
My 1st unit stopped working after 2 months and only after a significant amount of aggrivation with customer support it was replaced under warrantee by viewsonic BUT ONLY with a rebuilt unit and I had to ship mine back to them in California first (good thing I had the box). Now that it is almost 3yrs old it will not turn on at all and the high voltage board is burnt out & not worth fixing. A product like this should last well beyond 3yrs. I certainly feel cheated and victimized. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM AT ANY PRICE. If I could I would rate this one negative 100.
It also goes without saying that this model is now obsolete and there are much more advanced lcd hdtv out there w/ better resolution, better contrast and HDMI connectivity.
 N2700W as a Computer Monitor January 8, 2006

Best monitor I have owned. For people having trouble using this as a computer monitor, use a good video card, I am running a GeForse FX 5200 with 128 MB Ram. Set the computers resolution to the monitor's native resolution (1280 X 720). The software driver will set up the refresh rate a 60hz. Reset it to 72hz manually and everything will sharpen up to a crisp picture. You will have an unbelievable monitor. I am totally impressed. My power supply is not loud at all, it's hardly audible with the sound off.
 No S-video, flaky with closed captions, locks up December 21, 2004

First of all, let me say that the image quality on this monitor is terrific, at least with HDTV/component input. With analog input (cable TV or composite), the picture is grainy. The pixel response time is also not as fast as models that have come out more recently.
My main complaint is the lack of an S-video input. It is inexcusable for a TV that costs this much to not have an S-video in. It also only has 1 set of component in, whereas most HDTV's have at least 2. All of the other Viewsonic TV's in this series have S-video, why not this one?
My #2 complaint is the fan noise. This thing has an external power supply brick (the type used with laptops) which has a fan inside the brick that runs continuously when the TV is on, and sometimes when it is off! The speakers on the TV are so weak, that you can hear the fan over the TV sound almost all the time.
Before purchasing an HDTV, you also must realize that a monitor of this size will make a poor PC monitor, no matter what. Even HDTV resolutions are nowhere near the typical PC monitor resolutions, and trying to use a device that is primarily designed to be a TV as a monitor will produce poor results.
Last, the TV has issues displaying closed captions. When trying to display closed captions from a DVD, for example, the whole picture became scrambled. Plus, it sometimes "locked up" and wouldn't respond to the remote. At first I thought the problem was the remote, but it wasn't; the TV literally required a "reboot" in order to start responding again.

Bought this TV on sale, but it has been one long headache. As another reviewer has reported, the TV has a very noisy power box which sounds like a loud whirring....I, also, called the company to complain, and they said they would send another box. A week later, they sent another of the same box. After calling the company, they had no advice. They realize that this is a design flaw, and have taken this TV off the market and discontinued it. So those who bought it, on sale, got stuck with something Viewsonic knew was a lemon. The noise is so loud at times, that you can hardly hear the TV. I will be returning the TV, but am very upset about Viewsonic's knowingly selling these off, discontinuing them, and leaving no recourse. I will be forced to buy a more expensive TV from a major manufacturer.
