I would like to split my Xbox360's HDMI output into two (it's set to 1080p for the big main TV), sending one feed to a TV like this Viewsonic in the bedroom. If the bedroom TV's only 720p, I'd have to change the output on the Xbox every time I want to switch, or else let it sit at 720p when I'm viewing main TV.

Same thing goes for Blu-ray when I buy one in the future (I've got an IR extender setup to go between the two rooms.)

On that note, any idea how many HDMI ports this TV has?]]>Dec 15th 2008 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/
From about 9 feet, it takes at least a 46" tv to notice all the details in 720p.
you need about a 74" tv to notice 1080p.

of course you will be sitting closer than 9 feet to this

Mine doesn't have a TV tuner, but the Samsung T240HD does and is currently $410 on Newegg...that sounds like a better idea to me than this.]]>Dec 15th 2008 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/Dec 15th 2008 7:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/Dec 15th 2008 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/Dec 15th 2008 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/Dec 15th 2008 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/
So I either pay MSRP or $400? which one is cheaper?]]>Dec 15th 2008 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/Dec 15th 2008 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/

But it was Engadget which was saying that the Kuro proved that you cannot tell the difference between 1080p and 720p in anything less than 50inch, and now suddenly 1080p is a bonus on a 24inch?

And you said it was "ignorant consumers" which bought products just for the specs......]]>Dec 15th 2008 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/
I'm just waiting for the Engadget Review on this 24" Display...]]>Dec 15th 2008 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/
Like Dez said above, this would make a fantastic dual-purpose display for a dorm, small apartment, or bedroom. Use it as both a PC monitor and a television.]]>Dec 15th 2008 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/Dec 15th 2008 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/Dec 15th 2008 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/Dec 15th 2008 6:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/Dec 15th 2008 7:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/Dec 15th 2008 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/Dec 15th 2008 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/
I ask because:
1. The birds are really not that easily identifiable with Viewsonic, and are kind of boring
2. I don't remember seeing most of the other display manufacturers smattering their logos on their stock screen images]]>Dec 15th 2008 6:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/
And...boring??? WTF? You're looking for exciting logos?

Maybe you should find something more important to complain about.]]>Jan 12th 2009 8:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/
Btw, 1080p is fine for the distance it will be used, assuming you are not using it solely as a tv. It's like the difference between 1600x1200 and 1280x1024 when used as a monitor... super easy to see if you have 20/20 vision.

Having a tuner built in is a nice touch!]]>Dec 15th 2008 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/
Not worth the interest.

If you can't see the difference between 1080p and 720p on a 24" screen, sitting at approximately the same distance you would from a monitor (as this would be used for) then wow. That is like saying 1920 x 1200 and 1280 x 720 look the same on a monitor...]]>Dec 15th 2008 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/Dec 16th 2008 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/Dec 15th 2008 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/Dec 15th 2008 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/Dec 15th 2008 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/Dec 15th 2008 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/I found the monitor listed at ProVantage for $339 + shipping (about $15 to Minnesota).

Anyway, I might be wrong but the appeal of this thing seems very limited to me.

The extra res doesn't come in to play as much for the quality of the video picture as to the when your using it as a monitor.

Anyone who has ever tired to use their tv as a monitor will understand that unless you have a high res the size of your text, icons and such are way to large unless you are several feet away. This hybrid will be able to be placed on a desk and used normally as a monitor.

I just hope unlike the Samsung T260HD it comes with picture in picture. ]]>Dec 16th 2008 12:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/Dec 16th 2008 10:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/15/viewsonic-introduces-24-inch-1080p-vt2430-lcd-tv/http://www.viewsonic.com/products/lcd-tvs/vt2430.htm
