I picked one of these up and so far am very happy with it for the price. I haven't tried using it as a PC monitor - I wanted a TV for my bedroom and so far it looks great. Surprisingly enough, with my work schedule etc I haven't had a chance to hook it up to anything but composite and s-video - but even those (from a reasonable viewing distance) look a-ok. This weekend I hope to actually send it some hidef signals, plus I'll try running coax cable into it and try out the tuner.

As every other review states, the remote kind of sucks and the menus aren't very usable - but size for price, it's a steal.

coax isn't the best quality, AV (composite / RCA cables) provides for only a slightly better picture despite it being digital cable. I have both connected so I can do PIP which is actually pretty nice.

I haven't put an HD signal into it yet either... as I need another HD box instead of the standard cable box... damn $38 "professional install" required.

For the standard feed, it looked better on a regular tv set, honestly. Not sure if it's just my connections now that I moved it over... I can see a lot more snow/static in the picture than I used to... even with RCA cables (not just coax).
