ViewSonic N4200W 42" 720p HD LCD Television

Pros:
To be serious there is no real pros in having the ViewSonic NextVision N4200w 42 in. LCD Television compared to any other television. I’m not really going to waste time in writing about the television, most people talk about how wonderful the product is, but I know most people don’t care; people are interested in the CONS sellers don’t want to tell you. You already know the “stats”/ description / details. All im going to say is everything it “says it can do, it does it.”

Cons:
- Really stupid remote. When I first opened the box I immediately noticed the really “cheesy” remote. It’s similar to a remote you can find at the dollar store or flea market. Not much effort was made in producing it. This isn’t really my complaint; there is two serious annoyances from this remote.
1.The Viewsonic is NOT compatible to any “universal” remote you have. The user manual does not provide any “codes” so that you cant set up your universal remote. The only way I believe you can use a universal remote is if it can detect the signal and imitate it. If you don’t have such hardware you’re stuck with a cheesy remote that doesn’t feel real.
2.The original remote not only feels like junk; you have to point directly to the receiver. Like you literally have like a 20-30cm radius around the receiver of where you have to point the remote. And the receiver it self is only around 2cm squared.
- For some it doesn’t matter, but for me, it’s quite annoying that the television cannot change channels to a standard “cable” for normal television. This isn’t going to be a problem if you have satellite or a “cable box” whatever your cable company provides.
- The television has a lame red and green light bulb indicating if the television is turned on and turned off.
- There are no zoom functions of the television.
- Bass is fine, but if you want to boost the sound on your movies and you want to hear a “thump” in your sound, the “thump” isn’t that impressive. If you don’t have surround sound, sound quality probably isn’t a problem for you anyways. But for those who like their sound, they probably already have surround sound. Use it.

Overall there isn’t anything CONS about this product, in general it is a good product. I will be using it for a long time.
