Advantages: Very attractive appearance, slimline, smart and good quality Disadvantages: Some people prefer chunky monitors, and if this is you, then this isn't the right choice
I was given this monitor by my parents after my previous monitor (of dubious company and origin) exploded one day...
As you can imagine, I was desperate to get another monitor quickly, and so made this choice as soon as I could. It was definitely the right one- this monitor is perfect for me.
I have little desk space so its compact size and shape is perfect, it's light and easy to move and adjust, and the silver edging looks very smart and stylish.
I was a little uncertain about purchasing a Belinea monitor- I'd never bought anything from, or heard much about, this company before. But despite not being as prestigious as a brand like Sony, this little monitor is wonderful. As a personal fan of TFT's, I'd say it's perfect, especially on space-saving and for a modern, updated look for your workspace.

Advantages: Cheap, simple to use, stylish Disadvantages: Lack of resolution options
As a school ICT teacher monitors are obviously important to me. We have kitted out our classrooms with the 1730s for a variety of reasons. Firstly they proved to be one of the best value models that our supplier could provide us with. I can't say exactly how much they cost us per unit but suffice to say it was cheap.
When our inspection unit arrived we were delighted to find it had a hardened screen covering which means that we have had no failures due to over enthusiastic hands. The range of options are fairtly limited but the auto settings and auto adjust cope with most things we throe at it from a school point of view.
The viewing real estate is good with a reasonably small bezel all around and built in speakers at the bottom of the unit.
Style wise the silver effect fits in with most modern equipment and the large base ...
Advantages: Not Expensive Disadvantages: Re-fresh rate is not very high
I have bought several Belinea monitors and have been fairly impressed. The screen is very clear for a budget model.
The monitor controls are on-screen and they are a little confusing at first, but you soon get used to them. Everything you need is only a couple of presses away.
The main problem I had, and it?s inexcusable really ? is that the manufacturer doesn?t supply a Windows driver disc to install the monitor. I had to download on from the Internet.
I have noticed that these monitors are prone to flicker more than others that I have used. This may not be the general case though, so read other people?s views on this.
Overall they are very good value and reliable.
They also include a three-year on-site warranty, which shows how reliable the manufactures think the product is. ...
