“47
LCD
Rated 100% by by Neil-Rosenberg--The-real-Neil (Mar, 2013)It connected with my WIFI in a heartbeat, with no problems, it has built in Netflix, which I love, and best of all it has an easy to use ANALOG audio output jack on the back that I use with a old set of really great computer speakers from Boston Acoustics.
32”
LED-backlit
Rated 100% by by Art-Vandelay (Oct, 2011)I have also connected my PC via HDMI and this screen makes for a crisp 1080P PC monitor, and youtube video @ 1080p looks excellent.
