Viewsonic LCD TV Review

Filed Under LCD TV Reviews, ViewSonic LCD TV 

ViewSonic Corporation has its World Headquarters in Walnut, California and they say that they are “a worldwide leader in visual display products–including LCDs, LCD TVs, projectors, Digital Signage and CRT monitors”.

They don’t say where they manufacture their LCD TVs, or whether they manufacture LCD panels themselves, but they have offices in Taiwan and China, so that’s most likely where they assemble their TVs.

They divide their LCD model range into 3 categories, based on size:

  1. Small size - 16 to 24 inches
  2. Midsize entertainment - 26 to 37 inches
  3. Big screen full HD - 42 to 52 inches.

Here is the ViewSonic N4785p LCDTV - it looks just like most other LCD TVs doesn’t it?

ViewSonic-N4785p-LCDTV

Features of the N4785p include:

  • Full 1080p high-definition performance brings details to life
  • 1920×1080 resolution delivers 100% of your HD signal for unsurpassed image precision
  • Three HDMI inputs let you add Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, and other digital components for complete, uncompromised HD entertainment at home
  • ClearPicture™ technology ensures extreme clarity in fast action movies and sports
  • Dolby® Digital stereo sound optimizes your HD entertainment experience

ViewSonic Market Positioning

My view is ViewSonic are positioned in the middle of the market - above the pack of cheap LCD TVs, but below the top brand names - Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, Philips etc.

As usual it’s up to you to decide what features of an LCD TV are most important to you, make a shortlist, set a budget and then make sure you go and see a few TVs - i.e. don’t just rely on other people’s reviews on the internet - before making your decision.

Smarthouse Review of ViewSonic N4060W

This LCD TV review was done in July 2007 and they gave the ViewSonic N4060W 3.5 stars out of 5.

  • Pros: Connectivity; design
  • Cons: Feeble sound; limited contrast/black level; colour tone/detail with standard def sources.

To be fair to ViewSonic 2 and 1/2 years is an age in the fast moving world of LCD TVs - things can change a lot in 6 months, never mind 30 months.
