ViewSonic intros 47-inch N4785p / 42-inch N4285p LCD HDTVs

Not really lookin' for a projector? Fret not, as ViewSonic is also dishing out a new pair of "affordable" 1080p LCD TVs. Announced today at CES, the immediately available 47-inch N4785p / 42-inch N4285p both come with 1080p resolutions, a glossy piano black finish, Advanced ClearPicture and an integrated NTSC / ATSC / Clear-QAM tuner technology to boot. As for the smaller guy, you can expect a 2,000:1 contrast ratio, while the larger of the two gets 1,500:1. You'll also find the usual complement of ports on both, and while the 42-incher is set at $1,399, the 47-inch iteration only demands two Benjamins more.

a "benjamin" is $100 dollars, not $1000. it would be pretty stupid of viewsonic for them to make their 47 inch tv only 2 benjamins more than the 42 inch.

Don't sweat it, Daniel. I said something really stupid once - but I didn't post it online for all to see, of course!

these have been around for a few months, i bought the 42" for $1099 cdn from Costco in November - good tv for the price.
