Viewsonic LCD Widescreens - Opinions

Anyone tried these? specifically the ViewSonic N3740WB-E 37inch HIGH DEF LCD TV BLK

Its pretty cheap at AU$1000 and the specs seem good, hard to track down reviews though and its a pity it does'nt have a built in tuner.

I have a 32" model...N3251W...and I'm satisfied with it. It has a good picture on both HD & SD, not as good as my 65" Mitsubishi DLP but pretty decent. I drive it over a DVI-to-HDMI link from a 2600XT card. I really have only two complaints...it's a bit short of inputs (another HDMI would be nice) and the user interface is kind of awkward, both of which I was aware of when I bought it but I think it's worth the $500 US I paid for it.

Thanks Zed, that sounds encouraging.
