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 ...

Review of Compaq V 70

IIyama Vision Master Pro 454

Advantages: Sharp Picture, Flat Screen, High Resolutions, Speakers on the front.
Disadvantages: Takes up a lot of space on a desk, 2 thin horizontal lines going across the screen

This is the best monitor i have ever had, i've had it for about 2-3 years now, and i don't look to be selling it to buy a TFT or another CRT. Everything is crystal clear and very sharp! Games Play like a dream because of the cripsness of it. I currently use a screen resolution of 1600x1200 and it handles it very well even at 120hz. The screen is completly flat, there is a usb hub connected at the side of the monitor, this is very handy if you run ...
...This monitor also has speakers built into it just incase you really need to hear something (i have never used them before, but i can imagine that they are probably not the best things in the world!) One disadvantage in my opinion would be that there are two very thin horizontal lines going across the screen (one near the top, and one near the bottom). I've been told that this is because of the flat screen instead of the usual curved CRT look. This ...

Review of Iiyama Vision Master Pro 454

hp monitor revolution!

Advantages: Simple to use; high quality resolution; tough; versatile, etc
Disadvantages: Heavy; bulky; large; takes up alot of space, etc

The hp pavilion mx70 is a fantastic computer! This is because it is versatile, tough, good quality and has a fantastic monitor resolution. However, I think that the main disadvantage with this monitor is that it takes up a lot of room, as it is extremely large. Also, it is heavy and hard to carry - by my standards anyway. It has a fantastic speaker at the top of the monitor, which in turn, produces good quality sound and I find it is very useful ...
...with them too. The brightness of the screen can be adjusted by pressing the button on the left side that has a small image of the Sun. The contrast can be adjusted by pressing the button next to the brightness button (right) - half of the image is a shaded circle. This monitor/screen is perfect for the beginner or experienced computer enthusiast, with its simple-to-use fuctions. It represents excellent value for money. ...
