Proview Monitor 713
A Good Flat Panel

I used my computer regularly everyday and I had my computer with nothing broken for four years until my very large and heavy old monitor decided not to work. It was annoying because we knew the new flat screens cost a lot and we couldn't go without a monitor so we went quickly to the shop, wasted no time. We went to pc world as we thought they would have the best choice available. Which they probably have from what I saw. I take a lot of interest in computing so before I thought about buying I just looked around to see what kind of monitors are available and what are the newest like. I saw a monitor/TV in which you could be on the pc and watch the Tv at the same time on the same monitor, fantastic but it wasn't for me

The Proview Monitor 713 was though when I first saw this it stood out as it looks good then I saw the price it was the second cheapest there. So I though its cheap and it looks good you can't get much better. So I went to purchase this. I also got a good guarantee on it which made the purchase better. I eventually got home and for those people who still have those monitors with bricks at the back you will be shocked when you eventually get a flat screen. Everything about it is so much better. Looks so much more stylish, gives a lot better picture, only need half the space and it has a nice big display with plenty more pixels.

This monitor features an brilliant resolution of (up to 1,280x1,024 for both PC and Mac) which is great for a start. It also has a bright 450:1 contrast ratio and 250 nits of brightness. Which is also very good if you were wondering. All LCD flat panels deliver a very clear bright and crisp image especially this one. The actual size of the screen is 17 inch. Which, yeah, is fairly big. Personally I wouldn't want anything to big anyway. One of the best things about the Proview Monitor 713 is that it gives out a extremely good pictures when watching videos and playing games which is very helpful for me. It's flicker-free.

This is one of the best looking monitors I have ever seen. That was probably why I bought it. It's mainly silver, but on the base and stem it is black which is a good colour combination for me as the rest of my computer consist of those colours. Those colours also make it very stylish as white is going more and more out fashion. Proview Monitor 713 has a range of buttons on it the buttons are
• Volume Up
• Volume Down
• Auto Adjusting
• Menu
• Power On/Off
They are all very easy do use and you don't need to be very good on computers to change the brightness for example.

The great thing about all flat panels are the space they leave on the tables. You now need minimal space for a monitor now giving you more room to put your drinks or documents. If you haven't had a flat screen before and you go and buy one in the future you will be delighted when you notice how little space they actually take up. Funny thing is electronics is always getting better, well how can a monitor get better for how much space they take up?
The picture is brilliant you will notice the difference. I find these LCD's find it easier to get dirty and dustier some how so you might often need to clean the screen unless you get one of those plastic bags to put over them when you are not using it. The picture can be changed to your satisfaction with the…
Brightness
Contrast
Colour
Positioning
Phase
And OSD
So you can have it your way you are use to. Although I have never once changed mine. I don't know why you would actually won't to. Maybe it's for people with not so good eyes and can see better on a darker contrasted screen.

I have now had mine for around two years and not one thing has gone wrong with it. So they are certainly made to last which I am glad to hear. The difference I noticed when I got this was phenomenal. I favourite thing about this is it's got everything you can want for a standard monitor. Obviously you can get extremely good ones which all sorts on. But for your standard monitor. This is one for you. It's great.

To install this on to your computer it couldn't be easier. Literally all you have to do is put the cable in the back of your computer and tighten the screws on both sides, restart your computer then that's it. No CD's nothing just one plug to plug in good isn't it.

If you want a standard monitor this is the one for you with a low price tag it delivers a great picture, its easy to install, looks very stylish and takes up next to no space at all. So buy this I would defiantly advise you to. I already told my friends to and they are very happy with it.

Nice review. We could never go back to have a CRT monitor after having a TFT. x
