How's the VGA image quality? Can any owners of this model comment on this?

This, and any 22" or larger LCD monitor, is going to give a softer image when using an analog input like VGA. It really can't be avoided when you get to these sizes and resolutions in LCD, unless you get a truly expensive monitor meant for graphic design artists. It will work, but it won't be as crisp or clear as if it were connected via HDMI or DVI. That's just what you deal with when you switch to large LCDs. However, for a VGA image, this looks pretty darn good. The review you read might have neglected to calibrate the monitor properly once connected via VGA. It's not washed-out at all... It's just not as crystal-crisp as a digital source.

yes it will be better than VGA. But HDMI is better than all. gives you multimedia and great picture.

The VGA I had it hooked up to for a day or so seemed fine, but I did not play any games on it. You can pick up a VGA to HDMI cable conversion for $8. Not sure if that would alleviate any potential issues.

I don't know. All I've used is the HDMI and USB, and have not had any issues at all. The other comment about the USB port being defective makes the most sense. I don't think VGA would deliver power -- I think that has to go through the USB connection.

I am running the cable straight from my desktop PC across the room to my Sony flat screen w/o a booster. I have not experienced any problems thus far. Picture is clear, bright, and w/o degradation. I'm guessing that equipment types may be a source of any reported problems; For what it's worth, I am using a PNY NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 Graphics card.

Yes, I have, that's why I bought it. A few things. There aren't any DVI ports so you'll have to connect either RGB or HDMI. My video card only has DVI ports so I had to get a DVI-HDMI connector. Also, I have played with the adjustments a lot. My nvidia settings report the native resolution being 1920x1080, but it's actually 1366x768. Anything higher or lower and the text looks really crappy, blurry and whatnot. This is when you connect it via HDMI. To tell you the truth, it's not too bad, I have only had it a couple of weeks as well and I am still adjusting it. Haier's website is no help though.

I'm playing Skyrim on it right now. Runs at pretty much full res with no problems or lag. I've also played Far Cry 3 at full settings on it with no problems.

VGA connection for 1024x768 was the reason I chose this one, and have been very happy, From AVSForum, equal number that could look at both in their homes chose one or the other, a wash PQ-wise (color preferred Sammy, black/dither preferred Panny). cnet is not very helpful, recommend that you check AVS, the PN50A450 forum as well as the panny one for further details. I can highly recommend the 42A450 after 500 hours viewing. Friend has the px80u, he loves his as well, but had horrible luck connecting his XP PC.

No, actually it looks good. That is the resolution I'm using and I like it a lot. I would buy this monitor again.

Andrew, the resolution for 120 fps is VGA (640x480), for 240 pfs 512x384 and for 1000 fps 224x64.This looks quite bad, but I still find good use for the High Speed. You just need to be aware of what to expect.

I'm curious how the computer linked with to the large plasma screen looks. I would think that 1024 x 768 on such a large screen might look a bit fuzzy or pixelated. Do you see problems with this? Would you recommend going for a higher resolution?

I have hooked it up to my PC and it looked fantasic. The resolution is the same as yours IIRC. Check you VGA cable, it almost sounds like it is too long or it is bad. It should look really nice when you have it working right. Also check to see how old your video card is, older cards may have trouble since it is an odd resolutions. Check the manuf web site to see if there are updated drivers. Ernie

Was only able to go up 1080P@60hz by default ... I am using a gtx 670 for the test.I did a custom resolution through nv control panel and it actually go up to 2560x1440 but it didn't look good at all. DVI and DisplayPort seem to have no issues with it.

I have, it looks great, very high resolution, looks awesome playing HD quicktime movie trailers on it. Connect my Powerbook through mini-DVI to DVI converter, then use a DVI to HDMI cord its pretty huge though.. for a monitor for regular use, in my opinion, but maybe i'm just used to my 13" powerbook screen.
