if one can watch tv without a tv tuner card , and has inbuilt speakers, then why not sell the model as LCD TV at a higher price???

afaik there is no 26 inch monitor in affordable range.
secondly the inbuilt speakers in viewsonic are not good enough to use much or always.
Though the monitors are good and have DVI port which is a plus.

Dell is compartively better. and same spec monitor is the one in 14,478 site price ~15K when tax is counted.

Do you know model number of 26" monitor with S-video support??

in viewsonic only one 28" model supports s-video all other models doesn't support S-video

this is the model vx2835
*ap.viewsonic.com/in/products/productspecs.php?id=312

also from dell ultra sharp 2408 WFP (24")

and Dell UltraSharp 2709W (27")

hope this helps ...

if u want cheaper there are few models of LG which supports S-video and AV(composite) input ...
