5 out of 5 stars best prosumer monitor on the market.......2007-06-27

the only glitch was software ...the monitor does not magically display the pictures or desktop when you rotate the monitor you must right click and select. The display is perfect. Worth the little extra money. It's value and quality far above the myriad of all the others. As a photographer I can really evaluate my work. If I need photoshop it's now a pleasure to work with.

4 out of 5 stars Flat Panel Monitor.......2007-01-05

My monitor came with a dark "smudge" in the top right corner - since it doesn't interfere with anything, I left it alone. I don't have any random pixels on the screen or any bright spots. The color and tone are excellent.

This monitor is easy to adjust color space and set up a color profile to use with my pro photo printer. WYSIWYG

It's a great monitor although I think I'd get the 24" if I could have a do over.

4 out of 5 stars Great quality picture but noticable input lag.......2006-11-22

Picture quality is beautiful. The stand is sleek, sturdy & adjustable. This monitor is awesome in every way except for the fact that there is some input lag. Basically what that means is there's a small delay between mouse movements and movements of the on screen cursor. Input lag is an issue that affects larger LCD monitors, notably S-PVA, S-MVA, and Overdrive-TN panels. Most people may not notice it... it's very minor... yet gamers might get annoyed by it. I'm not a gamer, but I definately can feel the lag, especially when compared to a CRT. I've kind of gotten used to it by now but I'd rather live without the lag.

4 out of 5 stars Big, beautiful monitor.......2006-08-28

Excellent aspect ratio and working area. Superb sharpness, color, brightness, contrast, build quality. No bad pixels so far. Good software functionality. A lower minimum stand height and easier-to-use software would make it perfect.

5 out of 5 stars Great Monitor.......2006-04-25

This is a great monitor. I love it because it can be used in either prtrait mode or landscape mode.
The screen is bright and the pixels are crisp.

          5 out of 5 stars Big and Bright conventional format LCD monitor.......2003-07-28

          This monitor is huge. And bright. The contrast is amazing, and the colors don't budge with your eye in one corner of the monitor looking across it, so I can almost believe the 170 degree viewing angle claim. I find it works better a little further back than most LCDs I've been used to due to the relatively large pixel pitch resulting from 1600x1200 at 21.3" diagonal. Larger monitors further back are easier on the eyes because they don't require close focusing which causes strain. This monitor is the smaller sibling of the 240T, which is an otherwise identical monitor, with identical height and pixel size, but with a 24" diagonal at 1920x1200 resolution. My wife and I are both computer professionals, and we have one of each at home. For working on the computer, the 240T is almost too large, and the extra width is all but unusable because windows at the sides of the screen seem far away.

          This monitor, like the 240T, accepts S-Video and composite (not component) video input, and does a reasonable job of de-interlacing and scaling. The major difference is that the 240T is high enough resolution for full 1080 format HDTV (1920x1080 pixels, 16:9 letterbox aspect ratio), which can be input via either DVI or VGA. This monitor, the 210T, can only manage 1600x900 for letterbox; both run 1600x1200 for regular TV 4:3 aspect ratio.

          DVDs played through the computer's DVD player and scaled by a decent graphics card look much better than those coming from S-video when there aren't too many motion artifacts (see my review of WinDVD 4); but many DVDs play so poorly on PC home theater DVD players that I fall back on the regular DVD player through S-video fairly regularly. For computer connections, DVI input is much much sharper than VGA input; if you get this monitor, it's worth upgrading to a graphics card with DVI output. Contrary to the manuals of the monitors and graphics cards, both the Radeon 9000 Pro 128MB and the Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB model had no problem driving the 240T and 210T at their full resolutions in DVI mode at the monitor's native 60Hz refresh rate.

          I'd like to see Samsung's new DVD HD931 player that provides progressive format (de-interlaced) DVI output, which should be optimal for this monitor (and the 240T). The home theater review sites love the HD931 player and the whole concept of connecting via DVI. The only reason I don't have the DVD HD931 is that the monitor only has a single DVI input, and it's in an awkard, though space-saving, vertical arrangment. Turns out that DVI routers are expensive, so plugging in two DVI inputs to a single monitor doesn't seem practical yet.

          This is the black one; there's also a silver model.

          4 out of 5 stars Samsung 210T.......2003-05-12

          Hi, I just got my 210T this weekend. I did a great deal of research before finally purchasing this monitor. One thing that I noticed was that there weren't that many reviews on this monitor which is what prompted me to write one. This is a truely great monitor. It allows you to connect many other devices to it other than your computer. I personally connected my PS2 and my cable box. You don't even need a tv tuner to get this monitor to broadcast tv signals. The picture in picture is a great feature which allows you to do work and watch tv or anything else you connect on a different source. Picture quality and brightness is exceptional. If you do get this monitor try and set it up digitally because it is much cleaner in my opinion.

          5 out of 5 stars I'm in love........2003-03-21

          I previously was using a dual monitor setup with a Samsung 17" 170MP (Which I LOVE) and an NEC 1850X which was pretty good and I wanted just one monitor.

          Go buy this monitor.

          The color is great - you can see it from every angle, and it's HUGE. 1600 by 1200 res - Which you will want to use.

          The only things I can think of that are slightly negative is that I wish it was even HIGHER res - But I am a resolution junkie! ... and you don't really need the DVI cable - I have tried many times with both the VGA and DVI and they are both the same. NO DIFFERENCE.

          You WILL get compliments on this monitor - The most common is "Wow - That is a cool monitor!"

          I'm such a nerd for even doing the review - But I LOVE this monitor.

          PS: I am an IT Manager and know my fair share about computers - I went through 20+ monitors before plunking down the cash for this one.

            Product Description

            The RX-D401S is a new audio/video receiver that offers the convenience and performance of HDMI up-conversion. It features USB inputs for streaming audio from a PC and JVC's Hybrid Feedback digital amplifier technology.HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital audio/video interface that allows a single cable to carry uncompressed audio and video signals in digital form, offering high quality signal transmission plus the simplicity of a single connection. With HDMI-equipped source components, such as a DVD player or cable/satellite box, just one cable connects the component to the JVC receiver. On the output side, a single HDMI cable connects the receiver to the display.To ensure the best possible video signal, regardless of the source, the RX-D401S up-converts composite, S-Video and component signals to HDMI. Handling the HDMI up-conversion is a Genesis deinterlacer that incorporates DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) technology from Faroudja. It includes two HDMI inputs and one output.The new JVC receiver also features a USB connection that allows music to be sent from a PC to the receiver for playback. The connection is wireless on the RX-D702B, using the 2.4GHz band to transmit uncompressed signals over a range of approximately 100 feet. The receiver comes with a transmitter that plugs into the computer's USB input. Interference from other devices is automatically detected by the transmitter and an interference-free band is automatically selected.To deliver the best possible sound quality when playing compressed audio files, JVC receiver features the company's exclusive CC Converter, which uses advanced digital signal processing to improve the quality of these files. The CC Converter computes the data that was lost during the digital-to-analog conversion and recreates the original signal.

            1 out of 5 stars HDMI did not work and one of the digital inputs.......2007-06-15

            One HDMI input gave me video but no sound. The other gave me nothing.
            That was on the TV. It was able to pick up sound on the receiver. The reason I bought it was for the Dual HDMI ports as a switcher and for the HDMI for my Toshiba HD D1. The optical input over the DBS component input kept shutting of the receiver every 10 minutes. The other optical and coaxial worked fine. This is the most quirky reciever I have ever used. I have had 2 Sony receivers and a Pioneer and they all worked flawlessly. I am using the 5.1 inputs for my D1. If I had known this I could of bought another Pioneer.

            3 out of 5 stars Some problems.......2007-05-12

            Purchased this because it had two hdmi inputs. I was hoping to hook up my DVR and a high end DVD player. Found that using both hdmi inputs was problematic, ended up inputting the DVD player as Component video with optical sound. Tech support was baffled.

            5 out of 5 stars No problems - Excellent Value for money.......2006-11-21

            I purchased the 401S back in September, when the price dipped below 3 bills. At that price (and even at the current level) this receiver is excellent value for money.
            What I was looking for was a small, HDMI-capable receiver to power a family room setup. There are certainly better choices for a full blown home theater, but for my needs this unit fit the bill perfectly. Currently, I have HD satellite and DVD player connected through the 2 HDMI inputs and a second DVD player/media server connected by component video and coax digital audio. Everything is channeled through a single HDMI cable to the HDTV, with sound being handled by a JBL SCS200 home theater system (another bargain from Amazon).
            Everything works perfectly, setup was easy and performance is very good. HD images are delivered perfectly and sound quality is excellent for movies and also very good for music. I can't really say that I notice the 1080i "upconversion" of analog video (I tested S-Video and Component), but the simple fact that I can channel these through the HDMI output is a great feature.
            I was concerned about the overheating problem reported by other reviewers and I agree that the unit does get pretty hot, but no more so than some other components, including my satellite receiver. As a tip, all heat build-up is on the left side of the unit (viewed from the front). There are vents on that side, but none on the top of the unit, so I don't quite understand the warnings about stacking devices on top. I actually have components stacked on top of the 401S and everything behind glass doors, but I have left plenty of space to the left of the unit and the rear of the cabinet has good ventilation. So far I have not had any problems, despite the unit often running all day. The unit has an overheat shut-off protection feature, but it has never been triggered.

            Pros:
            - Switching of all video (HDMI and analog) through a single HDMI output
            - Small form factor
            - Easy setup
            - Simple to operate
            - Very good overall performance

            Cons:
            - No renaming of inputs
            - Would like to see HDMI passthrough when unit is off
            - No on-screen menu
            - USB input on front only

            Conclusion: yes there may be better AV receivers out there, but you will have to pay at least twice (3 times?) the price for them. Perfect for a smaller HT setup.

            2 out of 5 stars Has potential but needs work........2006-11-02

            I bought this receiver back October of last year to replace an Onkyo receiver (which I adored until it started to malfunction). I got it at a decent price and it functioned well until this receiver also started to malfunction. Oddly enough, it started doing the same thing the Onkyo did. After the volume went past a certain level the receiver would just power off on its own. I sent it to be repaired by a local shop and they got it back to me three weeks later after replacing a part. After using the receiver for another month the same problem occured. I took it back to the shop again and I'm awaiting a repair once more. (They've had it almost three weeks again.)

            It does run hot. Also, it's shy of one more digital audio input. The menu system is atrocious and the manual isn't much better. My DVR box won't send a signal to my tv via the receiver because it views the receiver as an HDMI exteneder (though I think and hope this is only an issue with the version of HDMI the DVR box is using). Also, I believe signals sent via HDMI will not be upconverted.

            I bought it because it was one of or the cheapest HDMI switching and upconverting receivers on the market at the time, but clearly it isn't ready for prime time yet.

            5 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for!.......2006-10-10

            If you're looking for an AVR with HDMI support, this definitely could be the one you've been searching for. As others have reported this receiver runs very hot, but I've had it for well over a month and I havn't had a single issue yet. The audio quality is amazing and the upconversion of 480i video sources to 480p through HDMI is done very well. THE perfect receiver to have for using your new HD DVD player or PlayStation3 on your new display. I tip my hat to JVC for including so many great features and top quality at such an amazing price.
