HP Alphanumeric Terminal CRT

Advantages: Well designed, good quality case and screen
Disadvantages: Its not a TFT

...I received a Compaq 7500 monitor with my old Compaq PC about 3 years ago in 2002. INFO The 7500 is a 17" CRT screen made by Compaq but made in China. I don't think Compaq sell these any more but I have seen them on EBAY for about £35 and as little as £16.

Its quite small, not as bulky as some of the older model CRTs. The base is quite bulky, it stands on a grey block which is rather large and unsightly. The monitor has "compaq" across the top in red lettering.

...HP w2207 LCD monitor purchase oct 2007 in my quest to find the perfect monitor at this price range i discovered that you probably will have to have a "TN" type technology because they are cheaper and offer excellent response times: of these 22" LCDs my front runners in oct07 were Samsung 226BW Samsung 226CW HP w2207 I was going to get a Samsung 226BW because of the 2ms response time until i started reading about the different versions going about. the S version manufactured by Samsung, being one released to the press for review the other lesser versions A and C that were sub-contracted out to other manufacurers and are sub-standard versions, that give blue color casts etc. The Samsung 226CW that has recently come onto the market and is now available in the UK is the replacement for the 226BW...
