I bought this monitor about two years ago from an online PC store, after trawling around on the internet and visiting PC stores for a good deal. The first thing to say is that this monitor is a bargain - if my memory serves me correctly I paid 89.99GBP for it, and it is probably even cheaper now.
It is a standard 17inch monitor, with a 16inch viewable area. Although not a flat screen, the picture quality is as good as some (albeit low-end) flat screens I have seen.
It is on the large side, 41.5 cm x 44 cm x 41.5 cm, and weighing in at about 15 kilos. Roughly the same as a portable TV, really.
Installation is easy, just plug'n'play. I have changed computers whilst I have had this monitor, and no problems with either installation. On Windows 98, ME and 2000NT I haven't even needed to use the supplied driver disk. I imagine XP would be the same.
I have recommended this monitor to friends, and two of them have taken my advice - they seem to be as pleased with it as I am. Also, my brother is a 'techie', and he has bought one for his spare PC (if a techie likes it, it's got to be pretty OK!).
Think that's about it, folks. If you are after a monitor, and aren't too bothered about the bulkiness, you could do far worse than shell out 80 odd quid on this bit of kit.

Review of Hansol 720 E by
TheCrusher
Advantages: 16" Viewable, Clear Display, OSD
Disadvantages: Quite bulky, Pc only.
Hansol have been making affordable monitors for a while now and admittedly I had never gave them a second thought until I saw this pup for the amazing price of £89 which was un-resistible considering it came with a 3 Year Warranty (yea most do these days) and boast's some nice specs.
Ok so what's under the hood of this display that makes it so great for that price?.
