[MinecraftMiner1000]

[xAcm5pts]

my laptop has a better resolution

[IMPACTwrestling100]

i have an insignia 42 and a sony 50

[hunter101sgames]

i saw this but it was white and its 1089p

[thealaa16]

@hunter101sgames yes what is that i have problem like left side from down in white smartimage on and right side down smartimage off ! what the hell is that

[hunter101sgames]

@thealaa16 not to sure what you mean sorry

[heroscaper57]

do you think this would be good for 360's and ps3's because my tv sucks and i want a cheap decent one

[djloftiproductions]

How close can you play Wii towards the LCD? I'm about 2 feet away.

Thanks in advance.

[Auromahaze]

@Pinhead222 Yeah it's fine. The makers of these TVs know that a vast majority of their customers get these HDTVs for the sole purpose of gaming. They build them to handle.

[SmokeyThePolarBears]

how do i get it to put my computer full screen

[WTV2007]

Is this the truth?

[mattehISme]

@Milanaire its the best buy house brand. its good despite being a house brand

[lammaking333]

I just bought the newer version of this tv for 249.99 at best buy, and it is 1080p and LED-LCD not just LCD. Awesome purchase.

[dumbtrooper]

how much for it

[920306915003]

do you still recommended this HDTV?? because I'm planning to buy a 22 inch HDTV but after a couples of weeks past by I still can't figure out what brand should I get. I saw DYNEX 22 inch HDTV 720p for $279.99 at best buy but then I saw this IGSIGNIA 22 inch HDTV 1080p for the same price ($279.99). I need help!!

[DestinyIslander2000]

@920306915003

When I checked earlier it was $249.99 on sale.

[TheMegasuperfox]

this tv is now $199.99 on best buy

[darkfox89]

OH MY GOD! There is a massive disaster on the tv, and you didn't even react!!!!! Hahahahaha I love Insignia. My girlfriend has a 32" and it is amazing. I am thinking about getting one and using it for my pc monitor, and tv.

[darkfox89]

OH MY GOD! There is a massive disaster on the tv, and you didn't even react!!!!! Hahahahaha I love Insignia. My girlfriend has a 32" and it is amazing. I am thinking about getting one and using it for my pc monitor, and tv.

[Persecutioncomplex]

Thanks for the review! I'll be picking up one of these soon. :D I keep my TV right next to my computer so the extended desktop feature should be fun~

[RedPaladin]

I'm watching this vid right now on the exact same tv lol!! I've had mine for about 9 months now and absolutely love it.

[mazdaspeedproduction]

Nice video. 1080p is full HD lol

[xxbox6191]

im using Sylvania 19" as my computer monitor hookup using hdmi too my video card,

[Tunerboy8732]

nice review

[RemoKinga]

i dont think its that bright

[BlackhawkFerrari123]

I have had no problems at all!!! I simply love it!!!

[elbabyboy20]

Hey man i have a 32 same as yours what would be better to hooked up the ps3 i have on the side on left side or on the back ??????????????

[corruptedyouth75]

I have a 32" LCD Insignia. I don't have much knowledge of these HDTV's. What are the proper settings to get maximum HD picture? I saw one in applebee's tonight and the picture was flawless. Mine looks NOTHING like this. Also, how can you change it from 480p to 720p etc... I'm clueless :(

[RIPTINY2293]

do you get hd cable/satilite. if its just hooked up through regular cable box , it looks horrible.

[BlackhawkFerrari123]

I have the same tv except it's 1080p. Yes the ps3 looks great! I sometimes think I'm actually in the video game!

[androidestereo]

I have the 1080 also..How did you setup the remote to work with Directv?? Ipaid 229.00 + tax at best buy

[HonorOfGod]

lol sweet!!

[syphonray]

hey i was thinking of buying it...i was just wondering if you could tell me any problems you have with it, if there is any :)

[123sulcata]

will a ps3 look good on it with hdmi

[rarezas1959]

you'll barely notice it even on 1080i

[videogamesz19]

this tv works perfect for me except mines 16:9

[Cliffdawgy]

btw everyone, there's a dynex tv just like this one. (dynex an insignia are both best buy brands). BUT i gotta say believe it or not the dynex (although cheaper) is better for me cause there is now connection lag on it. The insignia has TERRIBLE connection lag, so when u play xbox 360 and hit a button for a heat shot online it sucks ass. u are literally behind some milliseconds. this is on both a/v connections and the component and even cable. its just a lag all over for insignia 22"

[devin2491]

ok whatever i shouldent of called you a nerd just cause you know about tvs but ill admit i like my new insignia theres just 1 problem i dont like when im playing ps3 dont put my settings on 16:3 or whatever cause it makes stuff on the screen to small so i leave it on 4:3 cause everything looks better i didnt mess with my tv much at all though i just hooked it up

[VolcardoReviewer]

i have this problem is there a way to fix it?

Also did you have the tv?

[Cliffdawgy]

For the connection lag? no there is no way to fix it unfortunately. For some 360 games u can calibrate the game to end offline connection lag, like on guitar hero 3 (the game i used to actually MEASURE the connection lag on both tvs). So i tried both the insignia 22" and the dynex 22" (bought both, returned the insignia), and i gotta say the dynex is damn near perfect on cable lag, while the insignia is terrible. It sucks for gaming, like sniping shooters or guitar hero. get the dynex period

[osheem]

how do you know

[Cliffdawgy]

because as i just said, i bought both tvs before and returned one (the insignia). The cable lag is terrible for all the gamers out there.  i tested it unbiasedly, using the calibration system from guitar hero 3 and using my pc. its legit trust me try it out for urself. that's insignia's only problem i could find, but its massive for me

[osheem]

@Cliffdawgy i believe you. i bought a 32" favi and its great

[AnhedonicTheFirst]

They got the 1080p for the same price now. Just got it today. If you want a tv I'd suggest you pick that one up.

[hybridRace92]

cool review, i got the same tv, but whenever i want 2 watch a Blu- Ray movie on my PS3, it goes in to a weird 4:3 mode instead, if anyone can, can u help me with my problem? but my PS3 games still has that amazing 16:9 widescreen format. yay.

[WWEXbox]

Thank You. At least you showed me you dont need an HD or digital cable to watch TV on your HDTV.

[JBlanco4600]

it does have a switch on the xbox to turn it hd

[eatdirttt]

Thank you very much!

you showed every aspect of the TV and you even put your wii on it!

im getting a TV for playing my wii on and you did everything i needed

7/5 amazing review

[heretic50]

Yeah this TV is beast for playing xbox 360on.

[heretic50]

Cool! i just got the same one at best buy, it's pretty beast.

[Bl4ckbird94]

you can use one desktop for both

just right click on your desktop and go to properties like you would to change your backgrouns but go to (im not sure what it is in vista) settings and then you will see screen 1 and 2

then press on screen 2 and go to advanced and change it to same as 1 or something like this

anyway you get my point

tell me if it works

[crazyjow89]

uh well i got this and i have my xbox360 in it. But it is only letting me use 480p and not 720p. any ideas?

[Bl4ckbird94]

do you use the red,green and blue cables or an hdmi?

if yes i dont know if not use those

[crazyjow89]

yeah im using them. im not that retarded.

[Bl4ckbird94]

oh ya!

change your settings in my xbox, system settings, display, hdtv settings and change it to 720p

[crazyjow89]

wow thanks

[Bl4ckbird94]

and did you change the switch on the video cable (its right beside the port you plug to the xbox) to HDTV

[crazyjow89]

yeah i did that already. it looks a lot better now. thanks

[isiahg]

There should be a switch on the 360 cable, turn it to hd when u have set it up on the 360's display setting screen

[yeahguessmyname]

on this tv i have the same exact model and everything but my stand is really wabbly was there like things to fix that that i probably threw out message me back thanks

[TheDeviilsBrigade]

[93grandamgt]

[1213982]

No problem

[95dmario]

I just got a 26' model and its working great.

[guitarman13sonic]

someone help me i cant get this to work with my xbox360

[desertman123]

plug it in, flip the switch to HDTV, press input then component, then turn on your 360

[Dramaqueen4evur]

thankyou soo much for this video! i couldnt figure out how to play my wii on it!!

[BluRayTrailers]

why would you buy an hdtv if you have a wii....wii's aren't HD

[BeatlesFan32]

lol, you think that the only reason somebody would get an HDTV is to play video games? I have an HDTV and guess what.... I WATCH TV! , and for your information, you ignorant slob, if you have a good TV if will upconvert the video input from the wii therefore making it HD.

[BluRayTrailers]

haha wow bud...you need HD cables to make the video output HD dumbshit...wii has no such thing....wii cannot become HD in any way

[Cliffdawgy]

pwned

[1213982]

Wii's do offer HD but only in 480p vs 720p or 1080p (XBOX 360 is 720p, PS3 is 1080p)

[DaManmythlegend22]

but can you still put componet cable in it?

[Cliffdawgy]

wrong. xbox 360 offers 1080p. it was only 720p when it first came out, but it updated after like 2 months. however, many games on the ps3 and 360 only offer 720p, but in the end ps3 and 360 offer 1080p and the wii offers 480 (and 360 rules btw)

[devin2491]

nerd

[Cliffdawgy]

devin2491 is a fucking fatass with a tiny penis

[devin2491]

how do you know im a fatass? how do you know i have a tiny penis?

[Cliffdawgy]

cause u can just tell these things fatty mc fat fat

[MidMoFuryAirsoft]

@1213982 xbox 360 offers 1080p resoulution, im running my xbox 360 on full 1080p on my insignia 22"

[pdani72]

@MidMoFuryAirsoft xbox DOES NOT offers 1080p in most cases it offers a 1080i its different

[Christianmarquez]

@1213982 @1213982 Not all games on the PS3 do FULL HD. Both the Xbox 360 and PS3 do around 600-720P HD for most games. This is to keep the frame rate up. Both systems can do HD though, good luck finding full HD games though.

[homelikesquire]

@1213982

Well thats wrong. Xbox offer HD in 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p

ps3 is not more HD than Xbox

[DestinyIslander2000]

@homelikesquire

They're the same. Both offer 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p.

I have both.

[homelikesquire]

@DestinyIslander2000

YES! thanks for being someone who actually knows...

[DestinyIslander2000]

@homelikesquire

You're welcome :D

[zalien6]

@1213982 XBOX IS ALSO 1080P, JUST SAYIN....

[DestinyIslander2000]

@1213982

480p doesn't really count as HD nowadays...

[crossworlds1]

i going to buy ,right now, thanks for the review

[jamin686]

Also I think 16:10 is standard for computer monitors, or is at least, one of the standards. The Macbook Pro for instance is 1440x900. Perhaps the res on the TV is such so that people can put their laptops to the TVs if need be. Also the XBox 360 can run at 16:10, at least on the Dashboard.

[JTCPingas09]

my dynex 22" 720p is also 16:10.

[bblvdOG]

I got this tv in 720 and 19 inch and when i turn it on all it gives me is a white screen with audio. No picture. Idk whats wrong with it i want to know if i can fix it before going back to best buy and returning it.

[rumpeltiezerwash]

so I also am getting a hdtv with 16:10 ratio. as most formats are 16:9, will i have black bars on the top and bottom? or is it close enough to not notice....

[smallvllleowns]

u will have black bars but they r very tiny

[crazymario3]

i got the same exact tv this weekend for $270 at best buy =p. i love it.

[gelboy089547]

Hey,

Bought this at Bestbuy today for $280. Only thing I can't figure out is how to get my TV and PS3 sound to go through my stereo that I hooked up through the audio out?

Any ideas?

[gelboy089547]

There are two audio outs. One right next to the VGA plug and one that is hidden for your needs. Look at the TV from the front is is on the left side. Not on the back but on the left, opposite all the controls on the right. Let me know if you need more help. I had that issue too...

[nothingBUTdarkness]

for christmas im getting a 15" insignia HDTV that goes up to 1080p for my ps3 :D omg i cant wait im so excited :D :D :D :D

[NextGenReviewers]

I feel bad for saying this man but there is no such thing. The highest a tv of that size would go to is 720p, anyway from that size you wouldn't notice a difference anyway

[NextGenReviewers]

a difference from 1080p and 720p

[nothingBUTdarkness]

its ok i went to futureshop, asked for details and i got my info. btw i figured out it was a 1080i tv not p. and the tv im getting is a 22" samsung HD 720p tv :). thank for actually replying though.

[NextGenReviewers]

alright, no problem

[1213982]

I love this TV so far...seems to be a decent brand for a great price.

[marrlind]

i have a 46 inch Toshiba widescreen tv for... uh..220. bucks i think

[1213982]

Are you serious?!...where'd you get it b/c i don't believe it...this 22" was 279.99 on sale and Toshiba is a good brand. A 46" Toshiba is like $600+ usually

[marrlind]

i got mine from leons

[Lifeisjustagame666]

I run my wii on a 480i In the living room, I don't get to PLAY IT AT ALL, and my bro deleted my xbox360 account I hate him, SO I SEPARATED FROM USING THE XBOX360 or anything outside of my room, and I don't no else using my wii but me, is this a solution, because My tv doesn't have RCA jacks/YRW cable inputs, and my monitor is 3 years old, like my pc, It would be alot less painful to not buy adapters and get a new monitor, so Buying a HDTV like this and some HD cables worth it?

[gelboy089547]

Im looking at getting one of these. Even for the non sale price of 349 isn't bad considering a lot of the 19" TV's are 299.

Im just wondering if the 16:10 ratio has ever started to bug you considering it doesn't use the full screen? Also are there black bars on the top/bottom and sides or just the top and bottom? Have you figured out how to make it a duplicate monitor or is it even possible? Is there anything you havn't been able to drag onto the monitor? That would bother me but it would work

[gelboy089547]

I'm sorry. I have a couple more questions and I might actually buy this today. We'll see. I saw a comment about an insignia getting green specks whenever there was a black background. True or it has happened to you? Also with the 16:10 do things get cut off on just the sides or the top too? I'm really starting to wonder about the quality of this TV.

Thanks

[vikingscool]

16:10 that is something new for me, maybe it just for a ratio?

[kyori22]

gotta admit thats a purty good deal, i wouldnt mind getting one my self =)

[NewPSCity]

cool but why not go with a Samsung or a sony.

[1213982]

Price...22" samsung/sony/lg are $400+ (this was $299)

[kingsmehul]

bbut samsung is assume,,,

[ArpeLorpe]

Try TV-Brand called Atlus

[dreamorigami]

uh, yeah. get your moneys worth my friend. you can make a 300 dollar HDTV look like a 900 dollar HDTV, and that's coming from a dude that wasn't selling me anything from Zobo Home Theater today on the phone. Zobo is a high-end home theater design company. buying the HDtv is half the work, calibrating gets you the full cake

[1213982]

k, do i need the dvd tho?

[dreamorigami]

no. you can buy a dvd called Video Essentials. you put the dvd into your dvd player, play it off the HDTV and then put on these glasses that come with the dvd, and it'll ask you to do things like, make this square look like this one, or put this line directly ontop of this line using these settings, etc... it's supposed to be as perfect as you can make it.

[1213982]

Cool, thanks :D

[1213982]

Is it worth it though, to have it calibrated??

[dreamorigami]

a buddy and me own Charlotte Gaming League and we're about to buy 16 of these at 265 each. we're excited about the quality of these. did you get yours calibrated?

[1213982]

Sounds very cool :D

I did not get mine calibrated (is that something that must be done professionally?)
