Big is best!

Advantages: Screen size and resolution is huge, good quality, dual input
Disadvantages: size and weight, screen can be slightly blurred when you're very close to it

I bought one of these monitors some months ago now second hand on an auction site, mainly because I wanted something big and cheap. I was lucky enough to only pay £50 for it as it had a small spot of screen burn in one corner (which goes with regular degaussing) and some tiny marks on the glass which you can only see when they monitor is turned off. So far it's proven to be a bargain. The huge display gives up to 2048x1536 resolution which means ...
...provided 2 VGA ports so a PC and games console can be plugged in at the same time, needing only one button press to swap between which port is used, an excellent idea as it means there is no undue wear and tear that you might get from removing and replacing connectors all the time. I use mine with my xbox 360 and it looks easily as crisp and clear as it does on a HDTV, really does the graphics justice and for the price of it and a cable you can get ...

Review of Dell P1130

Beautiful

Advantages: Almost flat screen, clear picture
Disadvantages: none!

I recently bought a new system from Dell, and took the most basic monitor they had. When it was delivered i was amazed to discover that it was really quite excellent: An almost flat screen, and a refresh rate of 85hz at 1024x768, and no distortion visible. The OSD is also very intuitive, making it easy to reposition, degauss etc, while also letitng you change frequencies on the fly. It is also reasonably light, with the casing not too much bigger ...

Taxan Monitor - The Death Star Monitor

Advantages: Robust and Solid
Disadvantages: Heavy

Taxan Ergovision Monitor 735 TCO99 Introduction The oldest looking piece of kit I use at work is this monitor. Taxan is part of a Japanese electronic company who have been around since 1981 and have been a leading producer of monitors. This CRT (cathode ray tube) monitor works by basically firing electron beams through a vacuum at a screen to produce a picture. This picture is what we see when we look at a monitor. Specs ...
...1204 resolution • Mini two port USB hub attached to Base • Manoverable Base • Weighs 20Kg Personal Experience This monitor is a bit old school for me, it weighs as much as a death star if your trying to move it and nearly takes up as much room as one to. The display itself is still in good condition considering its age, its as good as any brand new CRT you will get so it’s certainly lasted. You have all the normal options on a monitor ...

Review of Taxan Ergovision 735 TCO 99

Love your eyes and be spoiled with Samsung SyncMaster 793MG

Advantages: Long life, 1280 x 1024 max resolution, 0,20 mm dp, etc.
Disadvantages: Need more space to place.

...while, since I have this Samsung SyncMaster 793MG, that known as Magic Green. Now, about it dimension. It's big as usual monitors if compared with LCD monitors, so let's say it's really need more space. It has a flat monitor display, size at 17'' (16"/40,6 cm), and 0,22 mm horizontal dotpitch. The colour is black, so gothic match with my CPU case. It support of 1280 x 1024 in max resolution. But, I don't recommend you to use this resolution, because ...
...see the text in this resolution. If you has it plugged in to your computer and electricity, try put your hand nearly it's visual display (where the picture displayed) without touching it. You will feel the ion comes out. It been said that the Ion has a positive function to keep our health. In my place, the electricities are instable and many electronics goes broke easily. My CPU is using a UPS, but not with the monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 793MG). ...

Review of Samsung SyncMaster 793MG

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. ...
