HP Pavilion Monitor-great value

Advantages: Clear, crisp picture
Disadvantages: Heavy, HUGE, not flat

This monitor came with my HP Pavilion M50 computer system I bought some five years ago. It's a 13 inch monitor and is, of course, made for the HP Pavilion M50 system, but is compatible with other towers. (duh) First off, for the whole system, we paid $99.99 for the whole system. You can buy the monitor, which is 6 years old, for about $25 now. It features detachable external speakers, a microphone (in the top face), an on/off button, four different ...
...and a swiveling base which allows you to move the monitor up and down for better viewing. In this day and age, this monitor is very DEEP. It measures 16 inches deep, making it difficult to fit into many computer desks. With the speakers attached to the sides of the monitor, it is 20 inches wide. It is also 15 inches tall, including the base. It is quite large and heavy. So far, I have logged approximately 7500 hours with this monitor and have had ...

Review of HP Pavilion M50

NOT impressed and wont recommend a HP7540 monitor

Advantages: Good colour display (WHEN MONITOR WORKS)
Disadvantages: SERIOUS problems with the buttons in front of monitor.

When I bought my HP 7540 montitor i was under the impression that HP is supposed to be a good brand. I should have known better to be honest. My monitor is not even 2 years old and i have a serious problem. The settings that come up when pressing the menu button on the monitor just comes up by itself and obviously stands in the way of any or every window in the background. Obviously that means i cant do ANYTHING unless i manage to get rid of that ...
...the problem in the end? I had to place a small toothpick between two of the buttons (the two on the left hand side) thereby "keeping them slightly apart" and the problem seems solved (for now) I doubt whether i will get a HP again. ...

Review of HP S7540

Smaller sturdy little beast

Advantages: Cheap and reliable
Disadvantages: still a weight

...have only 3 of the Compaq V70 model. This is almost identical to the V75, just a little bit smaller. OK when you look at the thin LCD type monitors that are becoming more and more common, you might ask why are we still using these, and why will we probably continue to use these for a long time to come. Although my employers have probably not given this consideration in a previous review it was pointed out to me “that Its interesting to note that ...
...small when compared to the Compaq P1210 it is still a fairly sizeable monitor. Yes it has it does have a flat square display. It is nearly as deep as it is wide. Although I am not one to give you a review stuffed full of technical bits, to get a better idea of the actual size I have included the following the following, the screen is 16” (corner to corner). The dimensions are approx 16 1/2” wide, 17 1/2” high and 17 1/2” deep. The weight comes in ...

Compaq V500 The beauty from Compaq

Advantages: Good quality, healthy
Disadvantages: Exspencive, not verry pretty

Well, I used this monitor for 6 month, It is has good look, but the biggest advantage is quality for this product. This monitor have 100H frefreshrate and i like i very much. It has permision of Ecology energy and ergonomics emission picture on it. On front of it there is three buttons "+"; "-"; and menue button. It is very easy to use this menue. In menue there are default opptions like, Size, Geometry, Language, Degauss, Menagement, Factory Reset. ...
...then i would like. The design is not very pretty, so you must use to it. Monitor leg is not very sensitive and you must push hard to put monitor in good position for you. And on the end this is not Trinitron monitor but an ordinary cathod ray tube. I suggest to buy this monitor for person who needs work a lot of hours, because this monitor is healthy for eyes, res 1024x768 is on 85Hz ...

Review of Compaq V 500

Makes you want to look

Advantages: Clear quality picture
Disadvantages: Size and weight

The Samsung 1100p Plus CRT monitor is an ENORMOUS 21 inch monitor with a 20 inch viewable area, with a .21 mm dot pitch, 1800 X 1400 resolution, with the choice of using the standard 15 pin video cable or BNC connectors. (BNC cables are generally used more in high end applications rather than in video gaming or daily work. Don't let this discourage you in buying the monitor since it is just as good for your normal everyday use also. Okay now back ...
...of this paragraph. Enormous is not an understatement. With the flat screen models of today, this monitor looks like a T-Rex in comparison. It is 47 cm from front to back 51 cm from top to bottom (including stand) and 50 cm from side to side and also weighs about 26 kg. Now this might not be a space saving monitor, but if you are not worried about space this amazing monitor could be for you. Now for the display control buttons. This monitor unlike ...
