Advantages: Huge, high resolution, clear and bright Disadvantages: Fiddly OSD and sizing
As the standard monitor that came with my Mesh PC, this has done me proud. The totally flat screen is a great feature I never knew I needed until I used other PCs after this - it has a surprising effect on how clear the whole screen seems. The monitor can support amazing resolutions without objects shrinking too much on the huge screen - I have it on 1280x1024, but it cna go as high as 1600x1200, still keeping clarity, never flickering, etc. Graphics ... ...odd "Super Bright Mode" turned off, and whites can even burn the eyes for a second with it on.
That said, most monitors nowadays do all of the above, and with flatpanel technology getting cheaper, the days of 18" cubic boxes on a desk top are numbered.

As the standard monitor that came with my Mesh PC, this has done me proud. The totally flat screen is a great feature I never knew I needed until I used other PCs after this - it has a surprising effect on how clear the whole screen seems. The monitor can support amazing resolutions without objects shrinking too much on the huge screen - I have it on 1280x1024, but it cna go as high as 1600x1200, still keeping clarity, never flickering, etc. Graphics are precise and sharp, with bright colours even with the odd "Super Bright Mode" turned off, and whites can even burn the eyes for a second with it on. That said, most monitors nowadays do all of the above, and with flatpanel technology getting cheaper, the days of 18" cubic boxes on a desk top are numbered. The only niggles are that the OSD control buttons are lain out very oddly, and it takes a while for the fingers to adapt. There is a surprisingly exhaustive selection of options - most of which I never delve into - but annoyingly, the V/H size and positioning drift whenever the screen changes resolution, meaning I need huge black borders in order that the edges aren't lost at the lower resoltuions that my family uses. In addition, sometimes the monitor doesn't "wake up" when the PC is turned on, and I have to manually reset the PC to get the monitor's attention. These promblems barely ever turn up, though, and in general the screen is amazingly bright, sharp, big, flat... basically, great.
Product Information for "Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 740SB" »
Manufacturer's product description
The new Mitsubishi Diamond Pro740SB is based on the new Diamondtron M2 picture tube. As a result of this progressive technology, along with outstanding brightness levels, this 17-inch unit has a sharp, clear and flicker-free picture right into the corners. Reflections due to ambient lighting are reduced to a minimum by the absolutely flat surface of the screen and enable the user to work more comfortably and ergonomically. This is helped by the dark tint of the screen and the Lambda/4 non-reflective coating on the picture tube, which also ensure that the contrast is outstanding. With a tight grille pitch, accuracy of detail is guaranteed. The Super Bright Mode (S.B.M.) can be switched on and off via an extra button. Like other new models from Mitsubishi, the DPro740SB comes fitted with the new sRGB industry standard, allowing automatic color calibration. The DPro740SB now requires less space than before. The new "Self Diagnosis Circuit" displays technical problems directly on-screen in the form of an error message, thus helping the user or the technical hotline to clear a fault more quickly. The monitor is Plug and Play compatible with an Asset Management feature that simplifies administration on networks. The password-protected, user-friendly On Screen Manager provides controls for all adjustments, such as geometry, color temperature, moire cancellation, ergonomics check, factory reset, status information and the selectable Intelligent Power Management (IPM). The DPro740SB meets all safety and ergonomics specifications and requirements.
