Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I picked up the 327V just before New Year's.I found it in a large electronics chain store for just under four hundred dollars.I knew it did not have a built in tuner, but I didn't need one for what I want to use this for.I got it as a large screen computer display, and for watching my DVDs in my bedroom.
Overall, I must say that this unit has exceeded my expectations.The picture quality is excellent for DVDs.I haven't hooked it up to the computer yet, because it requires a VGA cable that did not come with it (I have a cable on the way).
Anyway, I only have two minor complaints with this unit.One is the bright blue LED that is lit on the power button when the unit is off.It's too bright for my bedroom, so I've had to cover it with tape.The other complaint is that the "universal" remote that I have for my Home Theater Receiver is not able to control this monitor.A "learning" remote is required, at least in most cases.This monitor is too new for the codes to be programmed into most universal remotes.
I purchased a wall mount kit to mount this unit on the wall, and I think it looks excellent there.The mount is a VESA 100mm x 200mm pattern, which doesn't seem like a common size.Many of the mounts I saw were either 100mm x 100mm or 200mm x 200mm.Some were even smaller 75mm x 75mm.I did finally find one that was the right type, and it was very easy to install on the wall, at least for me.
I have used the built in speakers and think that they sound great for what they are, but I'm waiting until I get my home theater speakers set up so I can enjoy the home theater experience.I know that a larger screen makes a better home theater, but my bedroom is too small to make that a practical proposition.This screen feels like it's just the right size for this room, at approximately 14' x 16'.
I would recommend this monitor for anyone looking for something about this size, as long as they don't need to have a built in tuner.If you have a satellite box, cable box, or a VCR, it can work as a tuner.In order to get HDTV functionality, you need an HDTV capable tuner (which most, if not all, VCRs are not).Since it has no tuner, I don't understand why it has buttons for changing channels.This is simply an observation, and is not meant to be a complaint about this monitor.
