LCD Monitors > BenQ LCD Monitors > 1280 x 1024

Advantages: crisp display, fast response, almost everything i can think of!
Disadvantages: 4:3 aspect

Just got this recently to replace my old Belinea 101530, and it was an excellent replacement. I was a bit sceptical about getting this when I was looking about, I saw the specs and say that it had response time of 2ms, great but the contrast ratio and brightness were not the best I'd seen on the net. Got the monitor and was not disappointed in the slightest! There really isn't much to say about this but I'll try... The monitor has a 19 inch screen ...
...this monitor is 1280x1024 which doesn't seem much better than older monitors but is adequate for the size of the screen. The brightness of the monitor is excellent, watching videos on the computer is now far more enjoyable now that I can actually see all the detail!As normal the brightness and contrast are set half way, I found that I had no need to change this, I did experiment with different settings but the default is fine. The only disadvantage ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, Big viewing area, good resolution.
Disadvantages: Colour temperature is too cool. Not the best for DVD viewing.

...viewed on its own the Benq is as bright and even as you could possibly desire but put it beside a nice TV set (36inch Panasonic CRT) and suddenly the whites look kind of yellow and the flesh tones are sooo red. Greens are too green and blues too... well, blue. This is a common failing of TFT screens and although it does no worse than most it certainly does nothing to move the genre on. But for most people this won't even be an issue, just don't site ...
...if you're a professional photographer, then don't even think about it. Getting A Move On: As you might expect, this is the area where all the weaknesses show up. This monitor displays all the usual TFT problems when showing moving images like TV or DVD. When characters walk or move suddenly they seem to leave a ghost image or trail behind them. Most people can't tell you this unless you point it out but they always "know" there's something not quite ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap to purchase. Easy to set up and use. Great picture quality.
Disadvantages: No bulit in speakers.

...the company opted for the Benq FP731 although I presume it was on price and that they got a good deal from a supplier. But you wont hear me complaining as they are fantastic, and a vast improvement on the old 15" flat grey boxes we had before. The first improvement is the picture quality. With the flat screen you get full use of the 17" screen, and they have a resolution of 1,280 x 1,024 pixels. I can't really get my head around all the technical ...
...picture quality on the new Benq monitors and the old, tired HP monitors we were using. If the image quality does happen to go wrong then the Benq will adjust it back to its optimum settings by simply pressing the I-key on the front of the monitor, without you having to mess around with complicated manual setups. As well as this the Benq FP731 monitor seems to work with any system. We have a vast assortment of different desktops in our office, with ... Read review

...(hd15) 1 xdvi-d - 24 pin digital dvi. Although it is perfect without the digital dvi lead it is worth getting the digital dvi lead for interference free computing. Be careful though where you buy this as in pc World it is £30 on Amazon £10 with postage which is a bit of a difference. The dvi cable though may not be compatable with the connector on your graphics card but you can buy an adaptor. It will convert a d-sub to a dvi. It has a flat panal ... Read review
