ViewSonic VT2730 27 inch HDTV monitor

Today we’re taking a look at ViewSonic’s 27 inch HDTV cum monitor, the VT2730. This 27 inch 1080p display falls neatly in the gap between HDTV and monitor ideal for someone short on space or after a large PC display. Admittedly not a large market but an existing one none-the-less. The LCD HDTV sports 100,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and a 3.4 ms response, here are the rest of the features and specs on the ViewSonic VT2730

Possibly the best thing about the VT2730 is its price tag which rocks in at only $369 over at Amazon. We like the VT2730, and if you’re after a large monitor its a pretty good purchase at $369. However we’re not totally convinced as its suitability as your HDTV. We did find one review over at PCMag who had image quality as a negative yet colour quality as a plus.

If you are using a ViewSonic VT2730 either as an HDTV or as a monitor, feel free to let us know what you think.
