HDTVs are the wave of the future, but having one in every room is simply not affordable or practical for most people. Furthermore, the living room is not the only place in the house people want to watch TV: some people want to watch the evening news while eating dinner, the late night comics in bed, or the morning talk shows when getting ready for work. Buying a large HDTV for each of these rooms is impractical both financially and spatially.

ViewSonic recognizes this and offers a compromise: a smaller, less expensive HDTV that still packs quite a good picture on its screen. The 24-inch VT2430 delivers full 1080p resolution, high brightness, a 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and all the inputs you’ll need for your gaming or movie watching delight. At only $400, far less expensive than most HDTVs, the VT2430 is the perfect fit for that small spot in your kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom. Now, you can have HDTV all around the house and still have money in the bank.
