TV Installation Description

Wall-mount concealed-wiring installation includes securing mounting bracket to wall, attaching the TV, and hiding wiring up to 15 feet. After your purchase of the TV with installation, a professional installer will contact you to schedule the arrival time of the two-man installation crew. Expect the installer to inquire about the particulars of your installation plans; if electrical or other work is needed, you will need to arrange for that. The installers will secure the manufacturer-included mounting bracket to your frame or masonry wall, mount and secure the TV, connect it to a pre-existing exposed AC power supply using neat wire management, integrate it with a pre-existing home theater or audio system located in same room, and program new universal-style remote(s). In addition, they will attach and conceal cables from your tuner source and other video inputs by routing up to 15 feet through your frame wall, or, if necessary, using installer-provided matching or paintable track molding. If you provide upgraded wires or accessories, they will work with those. All wires and cables will be dressed using wire ties and neatly routed to your TV. Wire clippings, drywall dust, or any other debris caused by the installation will be cleaned up, and the TV box and packing materials will be removed from your home. Upon completion, the installers will review the installation with you to ensure your satisfaction. There is a one-year labor warranty on the installation.

Amazon.com Product Description

The ViewSonic VPW425 42-inch plasma TV includes a built-in TV tuner to bring stunning images into the home and boardroom. At less than 4 inches deep, it easily fits in just about any location. Revolutionary NextVision technology brings images to life with spectacular brightness and depth, and XtremeView performance offers viewing angles up to 160 degrees while delivering vivid images with unmatched picture quality.

Progressive scanning, for use with sources like DVD players and digital TV set-top boxes, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional picture, providing higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The display is compatible with high-definition signals, including 480p, 480i, 720p, and 1080i.

Picture-in-picture and split-screen (picture-on-picture) capabilities make it easy to view multiple windows at once. Professional-grade adjustment features let you tailor images to a particular application, and built-in virtual surround sound speakers round out the multimedia experience with a clean, professional look. Also included are tools for managing image shadowing, precise white balance adjustment, and an external RS-232C control interface (RS-232 cable not included). You'll also enjoy ViewSonic's free, 24/7 technical and customer support (excludes major U.S. holidays).

Excellent Plasma for under $3000.00.......2005-10-18

This viewsonic T.V. is great as long as you know how to hook it up. Unlike regular T.V.'s if you hook up to this T.V. using the Coax Cable the picture will be awful. Now if you hook up using the S-Video, Componet, or Composite Video the picture will be perfect. That's why Plasma's are considered monitors instead of T.V.'s What the cable and satilite companies don't tell you is that you 50% of signal strength when you use the coax cable hook-up, or what others call the RF adapter. Regular T.V.'s can make up for this signal loss plasma's can't. So for all you out there do some research before you buy a Plasma.

A terrible, terrible TV.......2004-12-03

Even at the low price, this TV managed to disappoint in all categories. The remote is a giant brick with all the important buttons hidden under a slider. The image quality was fuzzy and poor. The screen would glitch every once in a while for no apparent reason. Any white or bright area on the TV (even with the brightness turned down low) would cause a terrible BUZZING sound from inside the unit. Weighing in at 90 pounds, it was difficult to even rotate it a little by yourself.

Let me put it this way -- I had the TV for about 2 months before someone broke into my office and stole it. I was actually happy to see it go.

Im not happy.......2004-09-20

Im sure the other guys were impressed with this unit .Im not.If you can manage to get the picture bright enough be prepared to hear a nice loud humming sound!!Ive used it with all connections tried.Even with the 17 pin connect to my comp it was dissapointing and the sound from any white background is disgraceful!Forget about burn in as well.Its going to happen..Youd better spend the extra money and not cheap out as I did..I kept Myself to spending under 10 thousand bucks to redo my room ,this is just for electronics.I use it for my bedroom cause of lack o space.My SONY bigscreen is best pic Ive seen so far.Ill save my cash and get a sony plasma next..Oh and the heat is insane,No one mantioned this so I doubt if they truly even bought one.I wish I wasnt first to get this TV no reviews were out back then...

Pretty Darn Good For Under 3K!.......2004-02-03

O.K.----I think our man Steve from CA. might have been better served if he had read the owner's manual first, and then had professional installation. THIS IS NOT A HDTV! It will take the signal, but will have to "dumb it down" to display. But that display is absolutely gorgeous: sharp colors, wide viewing angle and NO artifacts.
As for using the display as a computer monitor, I would be hard pressed to recommend it any higher. As with all viewsonic monitors I have owned in the past, apps from word processing to the newest games are just perfect. I connected my cable to a media center computer I built, and now use a nifty program called Snapstream that puts the old TIVO to shame! Now my wife can tape her soaps, easily burn her favorites to DVD, check her E-Mail, surf the web, video chat with her mom, play Tetris (O.K.---she's a little behind the times in her gaming!), find that song she has been looking for, etc----all from the comfort of our bed. She's now happy as a clam, which any guy will tell you pays the ol' hubby dividends far greater than the sub 3K cost of the unit. And I must admit, I can't wait for Halflife II on a big monitor with the display settings jacked to the max!
Two caveats: Again, no HDTV. Perhaps more importantly, if you are going to set this unit up yourself, you ought be an enthusiast. Trying the many input choices enabled me to decide on the best option for myself, which proved to be the DVI for the computer, and the S-Video for all TV functionality except for DVD playback, which benefits with progressive scan connections (you know, that red blue yellow thingy). If you rely on the manual alone, you are apt to be left confused, as it is far too brief and poorly written.
If you feel, as I do, that the PC is the future engine to drive home entertainment, this unit is an excellent partner!

whatever.......2003-11-25

misarable? ha. a fuzzy plasma t.v.??????? Maybe you should have got grandma to help. that way you wouldn't have dropped it. maybe that's why it's fuzzy
