"Excellent value, performance"
Pros: Great price, features, picture quality
Cons: Monitor only--no tuner. Limited Aspect Ratio settings.
Summary: I purchased the W4207 at Best Buy's 2006 Black Friday sale for $999 on a South Carolina "no-tax" day, so it was an excellent value. It's bright, sharp, and the picture looks great, especially coming from a 27" tube TV. I only see three real cons which weren't deal-breakers for me:
1. Lack of tuner: For me is a complete non-isssue because all of my TV sources are routed through a Home Theater PC running SageTV (http://SageTV.com) software. (SageTV provides excellent PVR functions with great multimedia integration. See http://SageTVTips.com for some Tips about SageTV.) If you require a tuner, you'll have to look elsewhere.
2. Limited Aspect Ratio Settings: This can be an annoyance, but fortunately, SageTV lets me tweak things, so again, it's not a real issue for me.
3. Non-Programmable Remote: Most TV's remotes are not programmable, so this is more a wish-list item, but for a few bucks more, all TV manufacturers really should provide better remotes. I currently use the W2407's remote soley for its power button.
Overall, a great product for the price.
