Rating: - great picture... tinny speakers
This TV is well priced and very versatile to connect. The speaker inadequacies can easily be worked around by connecting to a good computer sound system. The viewing angle is a bit restrictive at closer viewing distances but is not a serious drawback. Overall, I am very well pleased with my purchase. I especially like the size. It sits beside my 22" comp. monitor so I can multi-task.

The sound is annoying (I found the music setting to be the least annoying for listening to voice). The picture must be viewed at eye level, as also noted in the first review. On a positive note it has all the inputs and outputs you would need.
Rating: - Not what we expected
Got the N1630w 15-inch TV for the kitchen counter, but will need to find another use for it because the speakers are totally tinny, even with full bass and treble added, or different sound preferences selected (I think Viewsonic expects you to add external speakers to this unit so the sound is as good as the picture). Unit also sits very low to the countertop, and doesn't have a swivel feature to allow it to be tilted upwards. The viewing angle is critical .. like viewing a projection TV .. you must look ...
