Formac ReWrite SnowWhite FireWire 481248

Advantages: great image quality, design and clarity
Disadvantages: none found yet

...I had been looking for a new monitor for quite a well, reading reviews and lookng in shops. I was very concerned about spending my money on the right item as I am a graphic artist and web designer. I previously owned a 17\" Formac but it had been with me since 1997 and was getting a little tired to say the least! Well, eventually I plucked up the courage to spend my hard earned cash on the Formac Gallery 2010 Xtreme-5. All, I can say is wowweee! it is absolutely fantastic the styling is sleek and it does what it says - gives you excellent colour and image display. I really like the fact that it has two usb points on the back of the monitor this allows me to quickly plug in my camera and other bits and bobs such as my Ipod. I would highly recommend this monitor if you are looking for a professional standard, you won\'t be disappointed.... Read review

Advantages: Widescreen display
Disadvantages: Could be a little cheaper

...Well what can I say, a perfect display from a top notch company. Expect nothing less than perfect with Apple products. I used to be a huge PC fan but with the Intel chips and great designs of the Macs these days i'm really into my Apple products these days. As a Systems Administrator at a large design firm, I have recommended these products over another alternative (Formac for instance) ok so the Apple display costs quite a bit extra, but it's money well spent. The Formacs display quality cannot even begin to compare with the Apple display. The resolution is great and as with all LCD screens, the refresh rate is best viewed at 60hz for optimum performance. These will soon be replacing all of our CRT LaCie monitors as they're nowhere near as bulky/heavy and offer even better quality.... Read review

Advantages: Great looks, Low refresh rate, built in USB hub and reliable
Disadvantages: Non-PC display connetor

...The Formac 1740 is a fantastic TFT. I have set a number of these up for clients and the refresh times, viewing angles and the sheer size of the screen make them ideal for watching DVDs, playing games and generally using the computer. Gone are the days of ghosting that used to be associated with TFTs. Great as these are, I would like to make sure anyone intending to buy one of these is aware of a few points which may cause hic-ups in setting up if you intend to use this on a PC. 1. As the brand name would suggest these are intended "FOR MACs" as in the Apple Macintosh. Only recently within the past couple of years have the manufacturer really started promoting them and making them properly compatible with PCs. As such, some of the monitors still come with an ADC connection which is the standard for Macintosh computer displays... Read review
