Reviews & Ratings for 15.6" N1630W Widescreen LCD TV, Black I bought this tv for my the kitchen. Got a swing up bracket to hang it from under a cabinet. It works well and all the connections are easy to access and are out of the way. I like that it also has the built in ATSC tuner so we can either watch DSS or local stations very easily. Just the right size.

Reviews & Ratings for 15.6" N1630W Widescreen LCD TV, Black Need a TV for the kitchen with height limitations. Purchased the Viewsonic. For its size it has a a very good picture and is easy to set up.
The sound could be better but is acceptable. Remember, it's in the kitchen.

Reviews & Ratings for 15.6" N1630W Widescreen LCD TV, Black I wanted a small tv for my kitchen with a CAM tuner and this fit the bill and the price was the lowest I could find. Picture is what you would expect from a LCD - looks great straight on but looses some at the sides.

Reviews & Ratings for 15.6" N1630W Widescreen LCD TV, Black Installation and set up were extremely easy, and the picture quality is excellent except for one thing. The field of view is very narrow. I optimized the image for my 5'2" wife, and the blacks are washed out for me (6'1") at normal viewing distance.

Audio malfunction
Date: January 29, 2009
Written By:
BuzzyFrom: Stroudsburg, PA
Pros: small and portable Cons: audio malfunction
Reviews & Ratings for 15.6" N1630W Widescreen LCD TV, Black I purchased this Viewsonic TV through the online vendor PC Connection. The picture isn't great, but it's acceptable. But I noticed a problem with audio as soon as I turned it on. At any volume louder than a whisper, the audio on this TV buzzes and sounds distorted. The unit I received is defective. I sent it back to PC Connection for a full refund. I'll let you all know if PC Connection honors its full-refund policy for defective units.

Reviews & Ratings for 15.6" N1630W Widescreen LCD TV, Black The first unit arrived, packing intact, but DOA. PC Connection promptly reshipped another unit and it worked fine. Even with digital input, the picture is average.
Still, for the money, it is recommended.

Pros: price and setup easy Cons: picture quality is bad from angles
Reviews & Ratings for 15.6" N1630W Widescreen LCD TV, Black I was looking for a good, inexpensive TV for my bathroom and this unit does the trick. It is not a perfect picture, but I knew it would not be going in. You can not see the picture very well from angles but I was able to adjust the picture setting to make it a little better. I would recommend this TV if you are looking for a good value TV.

gpittjrFrom: South Plainfield, NJ
Pros: great picture for the price Cons: limited viewing angle
Reviews & Ratings for 15.6" N1630W Widescreen LCD TV, Black I bought this TV for my 10 year old son for Christmas. It is his first TV and he uses it to watch TV and play video games. He has a small room and the TV is a good size. It was easy to hook up to operate and he has no problem switching it from TV to game mode. It has a great picture and good sound for his small room. The only problem I have noticed is that we started with the TV on his dresser but it was too high and the picture did not look good. You have to look at the picture from the same level or it looks very dark. This was solved by moving it to his desk. Great TV for the price.

Reviews & Ratings for 15.6" N1630W Widescreen LCD TV, Black I ordered this TV from PC Connection and had it deliverd standard ground just prior to the holidays. It showed up 5 days later with no problems. The unit itself was easy to set up and has plenty of input/output jacks and HDMI that equal what you would expect on a much larger set. The picture quality is exellent. The sound is a little tinny, but that is to be expected from such a small TV. Overall I'm very satified with both the vendor and the TV itself.

Awesome TV

tripletpkcFrom: Nothern, New Jersey
Pros: awesome picture Cons: picture a bit fuzzy when viewing at an angle
Reviews & Ratings for 15.6" N1630W Widescreen LCD TV, Black I have to admit that reading some of the user ratings/reviews almost made me NOT buy this Viewsonic 16 inch TV but I’m glad I didn’t listen. A rating of a 3 or lower is not giving this TV the justice it deserves. Also, not sure why anyone would complain about the poor picture quality when viewing programs at an angle and subpar volume. A 16 inch TV is not meant for hosting Sunday afternoon football parties.
The TV is awesome!!!! Right out of the box I did a channel scan (only using rabbit ears for an antenna) and picked up couple dozen channel’s (HD, digital and analog) The picture quality is stunning and comparable to my 32 inch Toshiba REGZA LCD HDTV that cost me a lot more $$$$$. The volume is more than enough for the size of the TV. Viewing programs at an angle does distort the picture somewhat but not enough for me to complain...again it’s only 16 inches (15.6 to be exact).
I would highly recommend this TV to anyone looking for a 16 inch TV for their kitchen, kid’s room, and gaming system. I would not recommend this for hosting Sunday afternoon football or Super Bowl parties.

Pros: good quality and cheap price Cons: small but you know what you are buying.
Reviews & Ratings for 15.6" N1630W Widescreen LCD TV, Black I bought the TV for my wife to use in her office. It is decent quality. For the price, you can't beat it. The picture is bright, has nice detail, and it was simple to install. My digital cable looks beautiful on it. Simply stated, I would buy it again. One word of caution...15.6 on a LCD TV is like 13" on a tube TV. However, the picture quality is much better.
