Tweet

If you’re in the market for a new LCD HDTV that won’t place too much strain on your finances Viewsonic’s latest Full HD TVs, namely the 32” VT3245, 37” VT3745 and the 42” N4285, may prove of interest in offering not only 1080p HD resolution but also integrated SRS TruSurround XT audio surround sound processing technology.

Of the three new LCD HDTVs announced, Viewsonic’s press release has confirmed that the 32” VT3245 and 37” VT3745 both tout integrated ATSC/NTSC/QAM digital tuners, 4,000:1 static contrast ratio, 16:9 aspect ratio anti-glare displays and 5ms response times (that said, it seemingly transpires that only the VT3745 offers 5ms response time whilst the VT3245 actually only manages a pretty poor 6.5ms – regardless of what Viewsonic’s press release states) whilst also offering onboard 3D video processing – which, we’ll grant you, sounds somewhat exciting but, in practice, simply refers to the clarity and crispness of the images produced (so, no, these are not 3D-ready TVs).

Billed as being ‘designed for TV or monitor use’ whilst being ‘perfect for streaming media content from the Internet, including TV shows and movies’ it’s interesting to note, also, that whilst this could be understandably taken to indicate that the VT3245 and VT3745 come with network connectivity they don’t – at least not according to the spec sheets Viewsonic have posted up separately. What they do offer in terms of connectivity, however, is HDMI x2 (with HDCP and audio support), RS-232 and well as RGB analog, S-video, TV/cable, composite (RCA) and component YPbPr/YCbCr

The Viewsonic 32” VT3245 is due to shipping anytime now for around $800 whilst the 37” VT3745 is due to commence shipping from October when it’ll set you back just shy of $650.

Information concerning the Viewsonic N4285 is, at this juncture, rather limited except to say that it offers a 42” display along with Full HD, a dynamic contrast ratio of 10,000:1, that it’ll come in at around $1,000 and that its set to hit around the same time as the VT3745.
