Wow! 20.1" - Beautiful!

Advantages: Superb Picture - Well Made - Looks Gorgeous
Disadvantages: Heavy!

...giant screens to work on - one for arranging and one for mixing - perfect! So, what made me choose this monitor over the competition? Well, the Apple Cinema Displays are widely regarded as having the best picture quality, unfortunately they are simply way too far out of my price range. The 20" model is almost £600, double the price of this one. It's specs are stunning, however, and I made it a base for comparison, my benchmark that other choices should aspire to. I looked at many different models: ASUS, Dell, NEC, Philips, you name it, I checked it out! Then I found Belinea. A division of German based, MAXDATA, Belinea wasn't a natural lead to uncover in the flatpanel monitor market. Although they are apparently "market leaders" in their home Germany, I have only ever seen the brand on old, defunkt and small CRT monitors. However...

Review of Belinea 10 20 35W

My view on Belinea 102010 15 inch Monitors

Advantages: Not Expensive
Disadvantages: Re-fresh rate is not very high

...I have bought several Belinea monitors and have been fairly impressed. The screen is very clear for a budget model. The monitor controls are on-screen and they are a little confusing at first, but you soon get used to them. Everything you need is only a couple of presses away. The main problem I had, and it?s inexcusable really ? is that the manufacturer doesn?t supply a Windows driver disc to install the monitor. I had to download on from the Internet. I have noticed that these monitors are prone to flicker more than others that I have used. This may not be the general case though, so read other people?s views on this. Overall they are very good value and reliable. They also include a three-year on-site warranty, which shows how reliable the manufactures think the product is....

Samsung NC20 Black

Advantages: Battery life, size and weight
Disadvantages: None so far!

...I have just purchased a Samsung NC20 from Amazon. I originally planned on getting the NC10 after reading lots of fantastic reviews, but I was apprehensive about the size, being approx 10" screen. Anyway I heard about the NC20, and after seeing a HP notebook of the same size, I decided to wait for that instead... Amazon have had the white version in stock for a few weeks, but the Black one only came in this week. Customer service was excellent, I ordered on Wed evening, but due to a problem with my card, the order only went through at 6.30pm on Thursday...it was then delivered at 8.30am on Friday!!! That's what I call express service! The cost was about £375, so it's not the cheapest on the market, but the reviews of the NC10 swayed me in spending a little extra. Anyway I've been pretty much glued to it ever since...

Review of Samsung NC20

An excellent monitor for the LCD-wary

Advantages: excellent viewing angles, great contrast, good colour, tiltable screen
Disadvantages: belinea's hot pixel policy, no calibration software

...The review below pertains to the 1000:1 contrast, 8ms *new* version of the Belinea 10 19 20, not the older 600:1 25ms one whose spec is listed above. Since LCD screens flooded in to dominate the monitor market, I've remained a steadfast CRT fan and LCD skeptic . LCD monitors I'd seen in shops were too contrasty, with shadows that went quickly to black and screens that changed colour and contrast dramatically depending on the viewing angle. Even when sat right in front of LCD monitors that I'd used, I'd noticed that a shift of my head or of position could alter the brightness and contrast of the picture. Not the best, then, for the viewing and post processing of photographs, which is what my monitor is used for mostly. However, when I needed a new monitor, and I was faced with the fact that there were hardly any CRTs left...

Review of Belinea 10 19 20

Nice Monitor

Advantages: Nice design
Disadvantages:

...I use a Belinea monitor at work all day so i need something a little easy one the eyes and reliable. So far so good, it's not the best brand of monitors i know but it certainly does the job, i use it in 1024 x 768 75hz and it gives a very clear picture. For a 21" it's obviously going to be big, but the overall design isn't that bad, the front is pretty flat to the screen with simple curved buttons to operate the on screen options menu. The only problem i did have with the monitor was when i sat 2 monitors back to back, my monitor did suffer a little interference and discolouring on the screen, so i guess it could use a little more shielding inside. I think this is a problem with most monitors though....

Review of Belinea 10 80 20

cool

Advantages: reasonable price
Disadvantages: dodgy

...the speakers are not very powerful, they are more than adequate for most uses and are certainly more convenient than a set of desktop speakers as they save space and don’t need a separate power source. The monitor is well made, and for me has been reliable, when I bought it, it was one of the few that met the more stringent European safety requirements concerning radiation emissions (in the case of this one TCO95), and due to the length of time I spend in front of it this was a major consideration. Overall I have been very pleased with it and I would certainly consider another Belinea model when I upgrade....

Review of Belinea 1730 S1

Good Value for money

Advantages: Cheap, Good picture, Easy to use
Disadvantages: Small, Highest resolution is 1024x768

...The Belinea 102010 is a very good 15" monitor for the price (about £95) it is easy to alter the on-screen settings such as brightness and size. It looks quite good too - not too much plastic around the screen and not too many buttons - but just enough. The picture quality isn't the best I have seen but for the price you pay its good. Resolutions go up to 1024x768 although at only 15" 800x600 is the easiest to view. The monitor does have some problems with alternative operating systems like Linux and QNX but they aren't too hard to rectify if you have a little knowledge of computers and the monitor manual. Overall I would say if you are short of money and want a cheap monitor for use with a Windows system then this is the monitor for you. I wouldn't buy this monitor again but that's because of its size more than anything else...

19 inches for a small price!

Advantages: Low price, Good quality, Good refresh/resolutions/dp
Disadvantages: Black dot problem???

...to a faulty pixel or whatever I do not know, but eventually the very helpful and pleasant Belinea got a technician to check out my monitor before they sent it as a replacement. Overall the monitor is extremely good quality for a very low price in comparison to other 19" models. It is definitely recommended for people who are on a budget....

Review of Belinea 10 60 20

Dr. Greenthumbs Gives You That 20/20

Advantages: A couple of bangers
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

..."20/20" came out in 2006 as the fourth album from the California Hip Hop group, Dilated Peoples. The band consist of Rakaa Iriscience, Evidence and DJ Babu, the latter two of which are both producer (although Evidence raps and does the beats interchangeably). Dilated are quite alternative and so contrast quite genreally from the rest of the West Coast scene as they fit in more closely to the work of locals Jurassic 5, than the Gangsta rappers who dominate this side of the US (in terms of Hip Hop music). 1. "Green Trees" (Intro) 2. "Back Again" This is the lead single to the album and stood as a great follow-up to their 2004 collaboration with Kanye in a track called "This Way". Here you get them alongside The Alchemist and B-Real as they flow with great confidence whilst trying to show how well-developed their raps are. **Five...
