Dell W3000

Pros: Terrific picture quality. Solidly built frame. 30" LCD for $2k, not bad.

Cons: Dell support sucks. Didn't come with a manual. Poor black contrast.

The Bottom Line: It's a terrific performer, and that's what really matters. The whole user manual thing was an annoyance, but I know my stuff. Hopefully you do, too!

Review: I recently bought this 30" LCD Tv from Dell. I got it because it seemed like the best bang for the buck, and for the most part it is. The TV itself is small, relatively lightweight, and while I haven't measured it exactly doesn't actually seem to be 30" ...

Pros: Probably the best price out there for a 30" LCD HDTV.

Cons: Side-mount speakers don't sit flush when mounted on the TV. Dell's foreign customer support.

The Bottom Line: Buy it if you're on a budget, avoid it if you have the dough.

Review: I just received the TV and here is my first impression: The TV weighs about 60 lbs. w/ the stand and about 45 lbs. w/o the stand. I bought the optional flat wall mount with a quick release lever offered through Dell. The TV sits nice and flat like ...

Pros: Economical.

Cons: Problem identified above.

Review: I use two Dell W3000 30" HDTVs for two computers and to watch DirecTV television programming in two offices. I bought them about a year ago and they are both having the same problem. Sometimes the Dell W3000 screens do not power-up when the computer is ...

Pros: Fast delivery.

Cons: DVI w/o HDCP limits. Must use analog connections.

Review: I recently purchased. It was packaged with Samsung HD841 DVD player. The connection for DVI cable on the TV is not capable of accepting HDCP feed. So the free DVD player does not work with the TV using the DVI cable, unless you are playing a DVD ...

Pros: Fast shipping (probably b/c Dell wanted to get rid of them)

Cons: Poor picture and sound, minimal attention to standards

The Bottom Line: Do not buy this product - you can get much better for marginally more $

Review: I've had this for about 1 year now, scroll to the very bottom of this review to get an update as of Feb 7, 2005 Do not...and I mean DO NOT waste your time or hard earned money on this oversized, ugly, ineffective paperweight. I am so disappointed with ...

Pros: Good audio/video, compact size, removable speakers.

Cons: Poor service, no video on power up

Review: I bought this set because it would fit in our entertainment center. It has adequate sound and video but there are several issues as to why I could not recommend it. 1) Dell service is very user unfriendly. 2) The set is extremely slow in response to ...
