Description:

Use GoVideo's TW1730 17-inch TFT LCD television to watch TV, work on your PC, and generally enjoy a bright, clear, distortion-free picture. Connect a DVD player--standard or progressive-scan--and savor your movies the way Hollywood meant them to be seen: on a wide, 16:9 aspect-ratio screen. But connect an HDTV set-top box/receiver and you'll experience some of the most vivid, lifelike images you've ever seen on a television. The TW1730's slim, elegant design will look good wherever you decide to put it (in a bedroom, say, or a kitchen, or a den). You can even mount it on a wall using an optional VESA-standard mounting bracket--the unit stands less than 3 inches wide (without its included stand).

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), screen life (no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be cheaper and, to some eyes, slightly more natural looking than their plasma flat-panel counterparts, which usually "spec" higher (higher brightness, higher contrast ratio).

This lightweight, versatile display boasts high picture quality (450 cd/m2 brightness, 450:1 contrast ratio, and a wide, 176-degree viewing angle) and can be used as a television, computer monitor, or both at the same time. The TW1730 also features picture-in-picture, a five-band graphic sound equalizer, and built-in 5-watt speakers.
