Reviews of the Dell W3706MC

CNET Review
The Good: Excellent color decoding; independent memory per input; comprehensive connectivity, including two HDMI inputs and a PC input; detachable speakers.
The Bad: Somewhat expensive; relatively unimpressive black-level performance and shadow detail; no backlight control.
The Bottom Line: Despite its relatively light blacks, the Dell W3706MC has a decent picture, and its jack pack and versatile speakers sweeten the deal.

Review Summary: The W3706MC looks like it has a couple of tricks up its sleeve, though. There's Pixelworks DNX image processing engine on board, SRS TruSurround processing, a Midnight mode for boosting the TV's sonics, as well as some picture-in-picture modes
