LG L1715SS

As I seem to sit at a computer screen all day I thought it wise to invest in a nice flat screen monitor - mostly this was to help stop my eyes deteriorating which, I understand, is mostly caused by the flickering of standard CRT monitors. My new TFT had to meet the following criteria: - 15" or more visible screen - Display resolution of 1024 x 768 or more (preferably 1280 x 1024) - Have a decent display for playing PC games which are pretty fast ...
...on my desk - Cost less than £200 I had a look through the ol' Argos catalogue and this one caught my eye. It was small enough to fit on my desk nicely, had a 17" visible screen and a native resolution of 1280 x 1024 and cost £30 less than my planned budget - brilliant I thought. 20 minutes drive and £170 later the screen was mine. I also like the fact that it doesn't have built in speakers. Other monitors I have seen have very poor speakers which ...

...monitor worked perfectly. Since then, I've had no problems at all, and its worked better than ever, and has been doing for around 7 months now. I would certainly reccomend this as it is very reliable, loads up straight away, and uses little power. Thanks LG for another great product!! ...

Reason for Purchase Like many people I wanted to gain some more work space from my desk which was largely overcrowded by my 17CRT monitor. With this beauty I managed to gain back a whole foot of desk space! Looks The monitor is stylish in its charcoal and grey/silver colours which added that final touch to my PC with a futuristic black and silver case. Price At just under £200, considering it is one of the cheapest 17" available, it is certainly ...
...steady (ideal for my home office with its bouncy floor boards). And it is not cheap and flimsey like some. Wall Mounting There are threaded screw holes in the back for attachment of a wall bracket - BUT BE WARNED - some sellers state that this can be hung like a picture, which to me suggests two screws in the wall and hooking on, but actually you need a bracket which costs in the region of £50. Set up To set up there is an installation disk to ...

I recently made the transition from the world of the old clunky CRT monitor to that of the flat TFT's. I was wary at first as they are still relatively expensive, I was however very happy with my purchase. The monitor comes in a fairly attractive box and is packaged very securely. The base is quite small and really does allow you to free up a lot of much needed desk space. The only stipulation is that the back of the monitor be at least 10cm away ...
...cant put it right up against your wall you still save a large amount of room. My previous monitor was a 15 inch CRT which took up over twice the space of this 17 inch TFT. The monitor comes with a power cable and monitor cable (which is not permantly joined to the monitor). Connecting them is easy enough and connect vertically into the back of the monitor. Onto the performance. Overall I would give it full stars, colours are crisp and vibrant with ...

After my old chunky monitor sopped producing the colour red I asked my dad to get me a new flat screen LCD monitor, I ended up with this. He brought it of ebuyer.com for £158.37 with an onsite warranty of 3 years. The design of the monitor is a thin grey-beige frame with a grey base and back. It is 17" viewing screen (that's diagonal), 15" high including the base, about 3" thick and 15" wide. It is a clear display and doesn't get warm like some ...
...at least 10cm from the wall to allow for ventilation. One down side is that it doesn't have any speakers, but if you have speakers already its not much of a problem, plus having no speakers means it is narrower than ones that do. The base was a little stiff to pull out I was worried I would break it, but following the instructions and putting it on a chair it was fine. The monitor comes with a detachable power lead so if you have a desk that plugs ...

After realising that my old 17in CRT Monitor was going to be too bulky to take to university I started hunting for a 17in TFT Monitor. Whilst looking at ebuyer.com, i saw a lot of great value monitors. However this met all my requirements: 17in, compact, leaves me with a lot more space, matches the rest of my system AND must be fairly cheap - I was shocked to see the price for a 17in TFT monitor had fell greatly since I'd last looked. I was considering ...
...the rest of a normal system. However LG's sleek grey and beige look goes well with most custom built and off the shelf PC systems. Prompt delivery meant that I received it two days after I'd ordered it. It was securely packaged, and wasn't troublesome to set up and connect to the computer. Provided in the box, as would be expected was a Power Cable, M-M monitor cable, some simple to follow instructions of setting up the monitor, and a Driver CD ...

After Christmas we moved house so we decided that we were going to upgrade the computer system. Luckily for me a friend at work builds PCs in his spare time, so after a quick chat with him we went for it. Forget the computer but the monitor we received in the 'package' was this exceptional piece of equipment. This monitor is everything and more, here are just a few good points:( I could go on all night about this monitor it really is that good) ...

This is by far the best monitor i have used. Since the day that i received the monitor i have had nothing but a crystal clear display. It is great for movies with its preset contrast and brightness controls. At the back of the monitor it has the ability to be wall mounted. The connections on the back are a VGA and kettle power lead. There are a fair amount of features from the menu like white balancing and language changing. Not to mention that the ...
...saves power. This monitor can support up to 1280 x 1024 which is a good resolution for videos and gaming. You will not be disappointed buying this monitor! I would recommend this LCD monitor to anyone who is wishing to purchase a 17". If you are looking for complete reliability and a good warranty this is the monitor for you! ...
