In my experience with the compaq TFT8000 flat screen monitor i found that on a hole it is a great monitor for ur average home needs, using a great balance of resolutions and quality, i find the monitor easy to setup and use, the compaq TFT8000 offers a wide range of resolutions to suit your needs for the task you r performing on the monitor itself. Not to discourage anyone from buying a compaq TFT8000 is to get maximum quality the monitor must be placed perfectly on your desk holding to the fact that screen becomes jumpy and quality drops dramaticly, therefore my conclusion is that the compaq TFT8000 is an all round good family pc monitor. Please enjoy the compaq TFT8000 as i find it to be a really good family monitor.
