What You Should Know about the N3760w

Good Screen Size For the Bedroom

HDTVs with a diagonal screen size between 37 and 41 inches, such as this model has, are typically LCD televisions with a resolution of either 1366 by 768 or 1920 by 1080 (1080p). Plasma televisions of this size and resolution are less common. The optimum viewing distance for an HDTV screen like this one is about 6 to 7 feet. That makes a television of this size appropriate for a variety of living situations, including the bedroom, the den, or a small living area.

User Reviews for ViewSonic N3760w

    Duration of ownership: 2 Years

    Strengths: none

    Weaknesses: service? absolutely very poor

    Overall Evaluation: Caution! make sure you want a "VIEWSONIC LCDTV DISPLAY".I have a N3250w LCDTV Display since Dec. 2005. The first 9 months, we were pleased with the picture using the 16:9 option even though we didn't subscribe to Cable HD Service.Then we saw what I call 'burn in" that just got worse each day. That became dark bands outside od the 4:3 display and eventually also have dark blotchy in rest of screen. I called Viewsonic Service and they could not help me as we were outside the 1 year warranty. They asked if we had the extended warranty and of course we did not! "SORRY" was the only reply given, outside of service station in California for repairs that I would have to pay myself. Everyone should check extended warranties to find out that "BURNOUT" in not covered in all cases. I've have been told and know of others that burnout occurs on both PLASMA and LCD tv's.A family relative had this happen to his 51 inch rear projection tv as well(with the Channel's logo) etched on his screen. I will look for a CRT (proven) set that also has HD resolution as my future selection. Sony and Samsung have these in the 32-34 inch screen. Buyer beware of Viewsonic and other manufactures of this unwanted feature called "BURN IN"

    Strengths: good picture for the price

    Weaknesses: remote doesn't work for 2 minutes after you turn tv on, intermittent problems with volume and picture

    Overall Evaluation: We bought this TV at Costco. The remote won't work right away when you turn on the TV, so you are stuck watching whatever channel and whatever volume for a few minutes until the TV and remote decide to communicate with each other. But sometimes it does work right away, and sometimes not at all, you just never know. Sometimes you can't get volume at all, even though it is showing the sound is supposed to be turned way up. Another day, there was no picture just a grey screen, and we couldn't turn the TV off - not even with the actual power button on the tv. We thought, okay this MUST be defective so we returned it (no problems there, Costco is great) and bought another identical unit. SAME PROBLEMS. Can't take the frustration anymore, this one is going back too and we'll just have to spend more money. I don't think I'd ever take a chance on Viewsonic again.
