I have only just had this about a week after my old faithful extremely large 19" monitor failed on me. We bought our new very sleek flat screen 17" monitor from www.lbcomputers.co.uk - we paid £159.00 for it. It is not the cheapest outlet, but we find them very helpful and they have been maintaining our computers for the last couple of years. They also offer there own guarentee on monitors.

DEAD PIXEL WARRANTY

When you buy a new LCD monitor you stand a good chance of getting one or more dead pixels. These are not only annoying as you eyes naturally focus on them but are not covered by your guarantee.

LB Computers is different, we will replace it no matter how many pixels are damaged, even if just one is. All they ask is that you return the monitor in sellable condition together with all its original packaging material and content within 7 days of purchase.


Included in this price came a 3 years Warranty pick up service - So no extra cost for added warrently. We find this very useful as our monitors usually die within the 3yrs.

The Package contains

The LCD Monitor and the stand
DC Adapter (Potrans: UP0608b1190 or APD: DA-60F19)
Power Cord
15-pin D-sub Signal Cable
Audio Cable
Warranty Card.
User Manual (CD-ROM).

It is quick to setup.

Shutdown your computer and unplug.

Combine the LCD monitor with the stand tightly

Connect the 15-pin D-Sub signal cable and Audio cable to the computer and the LCD monitor.

Connect the LCD Monitor power cord to DC adapter, and connect the adapter socket to DC power input socket to the computer firmly and completely.

After installation, please turn on th eLCD monitor and the computer, respectively.

There are simple to follow pictures also in the manual to help guide you on installation.

The monitor also comes with various functions, you get to these by pressing the menu button on the front of the screen.

Brightness, contrast, clock, phase, h.position, v. position and sharpeness - all can be adjusted by + and - tuturial on the cd rom provided.

Well thats the techincal stuff, now for real life stuff, our opinion.

Sound quality is excellent, picture quality unbelieveable, fantastic. very clear, colour quality is spot on. If you need to adjust the brightness, colour etc - the buttons are very easy to operate -

How it looks>

Well I have to say if you can get sexy monitors then this monitor is very sexy and sleek.

They come in two colours black or white, this refers to the back panel of the computer,

Ours is black at the back, which is also where the cables fit, the cables fit nicely not sticking out and making a messy appearance. It is nice that they have taken that into consideration in the design.

Front of the monitor has a silver surrounding approx 1/2" around the sides and top and about 1.5" at the bottom of the screen where the two speakers and the buttons are situated.

The buttons comprise of 6 buttons all in black, these are
menu, - , +, Turbo, Auto/Exit and the Power button.

Comparing to other monitors I have had the Videoseven is more vibrant, compact, large screen without the black border commonly found on older monitors. No flickering on the screen.

I would highly recommend this monitor -

Thank you for taking the time to read this review.
