 Finally the 2700W is repaired June 20, 2010
Rocky (Hong Kong)
I got this 2700W TV from a friend, who asked me to fix it. (but he later chosen to buy another TV) He used it for 2 years and experienced all sorts of problems. The screen mess up after turn on for 1-2 hours, and power supply overheat and smell came of from it.
I got the TV in winter 2009, after replacing capacitors (voltage regulating components inside), it works in evening but not in the morning. I assumed that it is a thermo problem and left it aside. In order to rule out if the problem came from the power supply, I mail ordered a supply of the same specification.
The new power supply works fine, but picture still mess up after around 1 hours of operation.
Recently, I opened a 32mm hole at the back of the TV, added a small fan which sucks away hot air from the main chip. All problems were gone and it works great.
I don't understand how Viewsonic can make a 180 watts power supply so small, only double of the size of typical 45W notebook power supply. I disassembled the problematic power supply. I found that the components were very closely packed. Although it comes with a noisy small fan, the air path was probraly obstructed.
After repair, I like this TV. The menu is easy to use, come with PIP (picture in picture). The screen quality is good and I could not find any dead spot on the LCD panel.
I don't under why Viewsonic not to work better on the overheat problem. Viewsonic is cheap to buy, I will still consider it if they have some improve on the abovesaid issues.
 Great PC Monitor September 14, 2007
C. Swallows (Gainesville, FL United States)
I have been using the Viewsonic 2700W as a PC monitor for over 19 months and have been very happy with it. Just make sure that you have the latest driver for your video card and it will work fine with sharp screen images and text. One problem that you may encounter with the video driver is that some cards will automatically recognize the monitor and download their driver. However, that driver may have a max resolution of 1280x720 whereas many software programs are now requiring a min resolution of 1024x768 and won't work with the monitor's native resolution. So make sure your video drivers are capable of higher resolutions.
Also, the complaints about the noise from the power supply are justifiable. It is a design flaw in the FSP-180-1ADE11 but the noise is not noticable (at least with my unit) unless you demand a quiet environment to work in. My power supply became erratic and started overheating so I bought a compatible one from Shenentech that does not have a fan. Very quiet. Anyone want to buy a used power supply?
 N2700W as a Computer Monitor January 8, 2006

Best monitor I have owned. For people having trouble using this as a computer monitor, use a good video card, I am running a GeForse FX 5200 with 128 MB Ram. Set the computers resolution to the monitor's native resolution (1280 X 720). The software driver will set up the refresh rate a 60hz. Reset it to 72hz manually and everything will sharpen up to a crisp picture. You will have an unbelievable monitor. I am totally impressed. My power supply is not loud at all, it's hardly audible with the sound off.
