I just hooked up my new Viewsonic and the sound quality is very poor. I amwondering if there is something wrong with it. Have others noticed this?

I find the sound quality very poor and avoid listening to this TV. However, it doesn't bother my wife.

I returned mine. The overall quality was very poor in my opinion and the cheap price was in line. I did not have sound issues but the picture and sound were both underperforming, regardless if the price. For an additional $30 I gig a Samsung and sm happy

We returned the ViewSonic. Sound was OK, but picture quality was poor. Understandthis set is more of a monitor than a TV. Just didn't work in our situation.

Absolutely true, but this applies to most small screen inexpensive TVs. That's why many viewers buy the low cost external AC powered speaker bars with low profile that sit in front of TVWith this the sound is great.RKB

I never hooked up sound, so I can't speak to that aspect of the device. I think that this is a very old model, it's probably been sitting in the warehouse for a long time. I returned this model immediately after receiving it. It wouldn't power up, when it finally did the screen was obviously damaged - googling suggested the damage was from being too hot. Sorry, that's all I've got. It would be helpful to know what source you have it hooked up to and how you've plugged it in.

Hi, I have had one of these units for a few months now, and am quite pleased with the sound quality given the size of the unit and necessarily tiny speakers. It's not super loud and a little touchy to adjust with the remote, but otherwise fine.

Like on Window's PC's, you will have to download the right drivers. It took me about 4 hours to get my new 1080p monitor to work right, had to download 3 or 4 drivers. Make sure that you go to the ViewSonic page to update all your current drivers first, the disk that it comes with does not have the updates on it. You will probably have to go to Apple to get the right Mac drivers too. It's a pain, but the monitor works awesome once you get it set up. I'm extremely pleased with mine, the side viewing is just as good as direct on viewing. One of my laptops that I have set up for this monitor only has 1GB of Ram, and it works just fine with it.

All my veiwsonics work well (about 4 of them up to 9 yerars old)- never had one die - all are good for reading/writing text - check for HDMI port - some cheaper models may have vga only. I'm pretty confident of viewsonic as a quality brand.

Just be happy your soundbar is working. I returned mine - no one at Sharp, after 3 weeks of trying, would believe that my unit lost sound output intermittently. I now have a Sony soundbar that is working well (with my Sharp TV), and I could not be more satisfied.

I'm a novice with electronics, but you could try hooking up a pair of PC computer speakers and plugging them in to the headphone jack to see if the problem persists in the new speakers. it could possibly bypass the problem and give you better sound quality. If not, there must be a problem with the soundcard and time for a tech to check it out. If it's warranty, get a estimate from experienced tv repair before you take it to where HCL uses, I've heard not so nice things about their work, google them for reviews of their company. Sorry, I don't remember name, but you'll find it in some of the bad reviews on Amazon. See if you can better advise, but I should be pretty close. Sorry I meant TCL.

I personally think its a defect. Had the same issue without any storm. Denon has a two-year warranty on those though so they repaired mine for free, minus the $60!!! It cost me to ship it to their repair center.

Have you tried to call their technical support? They were really helpful when I called them. Also, you can always return it. I returned my first one since I had some issues with the sound and got a replacement and it is perfect. Check the HDMI Cable too. You may need to try another one in case it is bad.

I just took delivery on one from Amazon, a BRV46 and in any picture mode it looks like I am watching throw a window screen. I am not sure if this is the vaunted "mura" or "clouding issue". But I am not happy.My house is a little cold today, which could be a factor. But I must just return it and swap in a Panasonic plasma for about 1/3 the price.

Not with mine. Got to use analog audio desperately. That's disappointing... still, great picture quality, so it is worth it.

Thomas, I have the same issue. The settings taken from CNET look god awful. Movie mode looks particularly heinous. It places a sort of grey/green film over the colors and the picture. Dynamic seemed to be a better mode for me. Contrast 100/ Brightness 45ish/ Sharpness 0/Color 46/ Tint 50-50/Color tone Cool 1

I am inclined to think something is wrong. Mine has a nice picture. I did no adjustments on my monitor. I kept the factory setting because the picture was great.

I have a Toshiba Satellite 2435-S255 and there is a standard VGA connector on the back that you can use to hook up to this ViewSonic monitor. You should have some display capability when you plug it in. Your disc may have a scratch and be readable or it may be bad. Contact the company or try downloading the software from their web site.

Did you ever have any luck the green line issue? I have the exact same issue with the Soundbar I just purchased. At 1080i it looks fine, but at 1080p to my 1080p Toshiba 42" Regza I get green lines.

I honestly don't know and have not experienced this issue. I guess now that you mention it, I did feel like when people talked on this tv it did seem a little low. I would mess around with the audio settings and see if anything helps in there. If not, I would reach out to LG or research on some forums on the internet.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Now, we are forced to buy a new receiver due to 3D capabilities. It is quite annoying...Regards

The sound is actually pretty good, but I'm still getting a sound bar and wireless base. Since this is a Sony system, can anyone give me Sony model numbers that they like the best and why? My TV is the 550 70". Thanks.

I have to admit the Coby doesn't have the great sound of the new Panasonic I got earlier...not by a long shot..But turn it up and it's OK..I hooked mine to separate speakers so it helped to have a sound system hookup..But for the money it's a great 3rd TV for back room..Great picture..Now that did surprise me about Coby TV..
