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 ...

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. ...

Review of HP S7540

IIyama vision master pro 1413 17"

Advantages: Price, quality, reliability
Disadvantages: Not for advanced and demanding users

1 IIyama is definitely one of most recognized and respected both CRT and LCD manufacturer,( for Windows and Macintosh) and that places it above other producers on market because of it's expirience, and japanese origin. Sometimes people say that company that is focused on one specific item makes better stuff and if it comes about IIyama i can fully agree. External look IIyama vision master pro 1413 17" is simple monitor without addons like speakers ...
...Support Even though it's IIyama it is still just a CRT and unfortunately it has broken after almost 3 years usage. IIyama gives us 3 years door-to-door warranty. One phone call and next day monitor was taken from my doorstep and after one week i had it back again, working and polished - first i thought i got a new one. IIyama proved to be professional company that cares for costumers long time after buying their product. (5/5) Conclusion Vision ...

Review of Iiyama Vision Master Pro 1413

A tube monitor fit for students

Advantages: Assuming you got it used - it's cheap; good picture/color qty; supports 85 Hz
Disadvantages: Heavy, doesn't support 1280x1024 at 85 Hz,17", not so easy to adjust picture

At the moment of this being written (november 2008) this monitor is outdated, but when you are a student and money is an issue... Anything that works is good enough. The fact that 1280x1024 works only with 60 Hz is a bit annoying - and damaging to the eyes, since on newer systems (I use Win XP, but I'm sure that the experience is pretty much the same with Vista) the small resolution is a bit of a setback. Anyway - 1024x768 at 85 Hz works fine and ...
...if you're given this monitor for free (like I did), then it's worth using for some time. If you're planning on buying a monitor, aim for at least 1280x1024 at 85 hz (it's perfectly OK that it's CRT and not LCD. In the case of LCD - the frequency doesn't even matter) and 19". LCD is nice if you don't want sore biceps from carrying it home (17 kg!) and if you don't want it to take a full half of your desk... And, of course, it's better for the eyes. ...
