Real Digital's RD2200 monitor boasts a detailed, 22-inch TFT LCD screen with razor-sharp images and a 864 x 480-resolution picture. The RD2200 scan-converts from source inputs up to 1,600 x 1,200, letting you use it with PC and Macintosh computers (VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA) as well as with high-resolution home theater equipment like satellite receivers and DTV set-top boxes (625p, 625i, 1080i, and 720p). A high (400:1) contrast ratio, exceptional peak brightness of 420 candles/square meter, fast (16 ms) response time, and wide (160 x 160-degrees) viewing angles enhance the unit's standard-format (4:3 aspect ratio) image. For connections, you get RS-232 controls, high-definition component-video, S-video, two audio/video inputs (stereo analog audio, composite-video), Scart, and DVI (digital visual interface) inputs to accommodate several different devices, with video signals ranging from standard NTSC to PAL and SECAM. The RD2200 is wall-mountable with VESA-compliant mounting holes, and a built-in headphone jack allows private listening. What's in the Box
Monitor, RGB cable, AV cable, power cable, Pbpbr cable, remote control, user's manual, AC adapter (85W), and warranty card. Note: As this set is intended for display purposes only, it does not include an NTSC television tuner. All television reception must come from external devices like DTV receivers, satellite receivers, cable boxes, and VCRs.

 El cheapo... January 11, 2005
We bought 2 of these Real Digital monitors for my Mac G5 dual-monitor editing system at work. The resolution on them is absolutely horrible. At the end of each day I feel like I'm about to go blind. On the higher resolution settings, you cannot read the type because the pixels bleed together. On the lower resolution settings, the aliasing and jagged edges harken back to the days of Mac Classic. If you are considering buying this particular monitor for use with a computer, you'd be better off throwing your money out the window. We decided to return them and spring for Mac-brand flat-panel monitors. The difference is astonishing.
 Real Digital RD2200 PC "driver" / Review July 25, 2004
Bought this monitor about 6 months ago and im really happy with it. I got a great price off this website. I use it with windows media center and when i hooked it up and ran the media center part it looked great but everything else like the windows desktop looked really grainy almost unreadable. After searching for a monitor driver because it simply installs "plug and play monitor i came up empty handed, nothing to be found" I figured out what you need to do is download a program called powerstrip, that allows you to tweak your settings to better suit this monitor. Using a page towards the back of the users manual that lists the monitors opimal frequency settings that cant be met using simply windows. After putting these settings into this program that runs at startup my desktop looks 5 times better than what it looks like when just plugging it in. Enjoy this great monitor
This works great if you know what you are doing! April 18, 2004

I have this panel. I bought it because I wanted a TV in the bedroom and had limited space and money. I really wanted HDTV but from 6 feet away only videophiles could obviously tell the difference between EDTV and HDTV. SO I took the plunge and bought this. The rebate came quickly and yes there is NO technical support here. You are on your own. Also the warranty is serviced by AMAZON. The CR was shocked when I told her she was the one to help me. She laughed..but on with the story. I have this paired with a Samsung HDTV Directv receiver. I have my Directv TIVO and DVD player plugged into the SAMMY and then they all get connected to the LCD using DVI. The HDTV picture is fantastic and the TIVO is superior to the SVIDEO connection I used to use. The DVD is crisp and clear using 480P. The bottom line is that if you pair this with a a good video receiver you will be happy with this low cost LCD panel. And yes..don't even think of trying this as a computer monitor...It is awful!
Don't buy it; if bought, return it. March 3, 2004

What a junk LCD TV the RD2200 is. Connect to PC gives you terrible output. Connect to TV, cable, digital, isn't impressed either. Where is the support when you have question or need help ? There is no where to be found - help yourself ! My regular monitor is even giving a better result for output. I don't understand how they can produce this piece of junk to sell. I RETURNED IT right away after trying it out of box. Not worth even $50 to own this one.
This is the worst monitor I ever experience. March 2, 2004

I have bought 1-Samsung,1-NEC, 1-DELL and 1 Samsung TV/LCD monitor + 2 HDTV in my house. This RD2200 is the worst one. When you connect to computer output. You can not even read any thing on monitor. It blur out even at 1280x1024. It take a while to switch from one signal to the other. I do have digital TV signal from Direct TV. Picture for TV output is not as clear as other TV I have (Samsung TV/LCD). This one I got may be defective one. I test only one. Beside picture quality I still will not buy it due to time delay when switching from one mode to other. Much better spent money somewhere. Other people who bought may never connect to PC to see or have only analog cable TV and think it was signal problem from cable. It is not so. This is the first time I ever give bad comments on any products. Be careful.
