The new standard in the market for 17" monitors, the 730E from Hansol has become the first name in value and design. This is the number one monitor for the SOHO/SME user and the gamer who wants as much quality screen area as possible for the minimum outlay. A steady 0.24mm dot pitch provides clarity. The screen offers a very useful 16" viewable area. Used at its optimum performance the 730E provides a resolution of 1,024 x 768 at a refresh rate of 85Hz. A 5 language on screen display is also provided.
Advantages: A solid monitor that should last well. Disadvantages: Older model. Depends on required resolution.
...Firstly, this monitor is a few years old and looks to have been superseded by the Hansol730E, but it seems to have basically the same specifications, so I think it would be fair to apply many of my comments here to this model too.
The manufacturer's web page has further specifications and info on the range of their products:

**Experience:**
I've had this monitor for 3 years and it's served me well, especially considering the amount of time it's turned on (over 6000 hours at a rough estimate, with 6 hours a day average usage).
**Specifications:**
Capable of running at a maximum resolution of 1280x1024 at 60 Hz, but I am currently running it at 1280x960 (you want to run at a resolution which gives you an aspect ratio of 1.333 (recurring) so that images and text aren't stretched - in case you don't know...

Advantages: lovely picture, one of the cheapest 15" monitors around Disadvantages: only has a maximum resolution of 1024x768 however this is fine for allbut everyone
...Well it was quite an eye opener for me to see this monitor displaying its picture. Myself going along using dodgy 14" monitors for so long I didnt realise what strides had been made in the monitor industry. Lets just say the Hansol 500A was quite an improvement on my yellowing 14" Fujitsu ErgoPro. Also the monitor has low heat output so its not quite up there with Cheese's 14" Compaq, which apart from being the size of a small house, can double as your heater for the winter. Overall this is a lovely budget monitor with it certainly not being the most expensive on the market so on this monitor I wholeheartedly reccommend Hansol monitors to you all. Incidentally as is standard with 15" monitors, it has a 13.8" viewable area. This is definitely the monitor to go for if you want a brand new monitor and your working on a budget....
