Summary: Do not buy this for use with a PC
Review: I bought this as a 2nd gaming monitor for the PC (my first was the Kreissen 30" version) and was sorely disappointed.

Although the screen has a native resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels it does not appear that the internal circuitry supports it. In fact the manual actually tells you to set your PC settings at 1024 x768. This was confirmed when no matter what I tried, I could not get it to display either through the DVI or VGA connector at 1280 x768.

In contrast the 30" version of the Kreisen which I also have worked flawlessly at this resolution.

I ended up returning it and exchanging it for the 30" Kresisen which is a really good value.

If you are buying this for use as a TV only this review may not apply, but if you are planning on using it with a PC pass on this one.

Summary: KREISEN KR-270T is an excellent LCD TV (HDTV Ready) Buy
Review: I bought this TV and had it over 3 months and it's one of the best investments I have made on CE products. First, it saved me so much money campared to many other more expensive LCD TVs. I also checked out several other products similarly priced but did not like the design or the picture quality from the obviously less than superior LCD panels. KREISEN makes full line up of LCD TV line from 17" wide up to 32". I have done my research and only s few branded products are selling 32" LCD TVs and at much higher price too. KREISEN only sells LCD TV, which makes them more focused rather than companies who brand LCD TV, Plasma, LCOS, etc without having expertise in one flat panel category. They have good tech support and the guy told me all of the LCD TVs from KREISEN is made in Korea, which gives me some more assurance of the quality of the product as well. I highly recommend KREISEN. In fact, with the money I saved on LCD TV, I purchased KREISEN DVD Recorder which is also another great value.
