1 Good Monitor worth $200+
No dead pixel, bright screen. Blurs a bit in 1024x768 mode, but clear in 1280 x 1024 mode. It's worth $200
2 Don't bother with it, unless you like dead pixels
Got the first one. Looked fine, but with poor quality speakers and 3 dead pixels. Ordered a replacement from Amazon, and promptly got the replacement yesterday. This one has one dead pixel. Looks like very poor quality control. I must commend Amazon for prompt replacement.
Two out of two are bad, so I am returning both of them and looking for a different manufacturer. If you do get one with no dead pixels, how long before one dies? These cheap monitors must be from a rejected lot. My recommendation : DON'T BUY IT!
3 Poor quality and speakers F**Ked
Looks like Alleurs(sp)LCD. Wait for DVI type with better quality. Speakers are useless w/soundblasters or THX systems.
4 Poor Video Quality
Unfortunately, the old adage "You get what you pay for" applies here. I purchased this LCD to work as an external display for my iBook. Video quality is no where near what I've seen from other LCDs-- including those from Apple and Dell. Text is especially fuzzy. I also tried the LCD monitor with my Windows-based PC and experienced similarly poor (if not slightly better) video quality. I am very disappointed, to say the least. This is either going on eBay or will be returned to Amazon. :-(
5 Check Out the Speakers
I ordered the monitor and received it quickly. Set up was a snap. The monitor looks nice and works well with the exception of the speakers. At what appears to be full volume, which is difficult to tell with the lack of a user's guide, it is not very loud at all. It almost is a whisper, not bad if you want to play a music CD in your cubicle, but more troublesome if you want to participate in a web-based seminar. I have requested a replacement, so will hold out final opinion until another monitor arrives.
6 dont bother with ordering this
i recieved the unit in a few days and hooked it up right away and to my amazement the screen had a least a dozen tiny colored dots on the screen which to say the least are very annoying. the darker the image on the sreen the more you can see the dots. im sending my back for a refund because im not sure if a replacement will be any better. but who knows maybe i just got a lemon? jim etiwanda. ca
