Advantages: Nice Display, Bright Colours, Wide viewing angle
Disadvantages: None really

...Same comparable height to that of a 21” CRT monitor but not as wide was bought to accompany my 21” Vision master pro monitor for dual display purposes. I’ve got the shiny black model, not the silver grey, but it’s the same LCD panel at the end of the day. Screen tilt a little stiff, but there absolutely no worries of breaking the panel, as the LCD panel feels very sturdy and well built. On the back of the screen, you have a cover which you slide up to reveal power socket and panel video cable attachment, all facing down tidily. The cable with my screen is a D-sub connector; I did not see any DVI cable, not a problem though as most PC graphics cards are D-Sub connectors, and you can buy DVI/DSUB adapters if you happen to have a DVI graphics card output. On right hand side of panel is 6 buttons (on/off, menu, up, down, ok and eco... Read review

Advantages: Boasts a sharp, bright and crisp image.
Disadvantages: Below average response time of 25ms.

...I am using this monitor as we speak and I am enjoying a bright and defined image. The monitor has a thin silver or black frame that gives the whole product a sleek and modern look and enables the screen to be as big as it is without taking up as much space. The screen comes with a panel to control contrast so you don't have to delve into the monitors unnessecarily complicated menus which can also be accessed from the panel. The front control panel also comes with a handy auto adjust which makes setting up that bit easier. When I am playing games and watching movies I do however see a slight blur, this is down to the low response time of 25ms which is well below average for modern monitors. I feel that this monitor is too expensive for what it is, and buying this monitor now would mean you would not have a high performance, high... Read review

Advantages: 16ms response time. DVI.
Disadvantages: It's not black!!! No swivel and pivot.

...the screen looks square anyway...You cannot change its height but this did not bother me as I changed my position instead. This "disadvantage" is down to personal taste. Black is all the rage these days and LG do not provide this monitor with a black surround. Although the silver is quite nice with plastic at the sides measuring around 1cm in width there is not much of it! LCD panels have a native resolution. A resolution which it displays best. Deviation from this resolution can distort pictures. This panel's native resolution is 1280*1024. This is excellent for the internet and other applications as there is plenty of room to work. In games however you will need to have a good graphics card to be able to output games at this resolution. Also LCD panels are notorious for having poor viewing angles. Look at the panel from an incorrect angle... Read review

Advantages: Technical features, look, price/quality
Disadvantages: Not always easy to use

...I bought this radio-cd player in april 2000. I've liked it from the start for it's original features and the active black panel. Though I'd like to warn everybody who's not really keen on a lot of menu's and title's, because adjusting all listening options is a rather difficult thing. You always have to pass through a pack of menu's. I strongly advise the buyer to install the optional joystick remote control, to make the use of this radio a little easier. If you don't use this joystick you'll always have to open the active black panel before being able to adjust volume/change track... In my country (Belgium), a wireless remote control (card-form) is furnished at no extra cost. This is nice to use when you are standing still but should never be used when driving ! All together this is a good car stereo with excellent features and good... Read review

Advantages: Big, cheap and roomy
Disadvantages: heavy, steel chasis

...I have had this case for nearly 2 years now and personally have enjoyed it. The main selling point is price - I paid £75 compared to £150 for the Lian-Li aluminium equivalent. That said it does have its disadvantages. My first impressions where "wow thats big" (well, after taking of the curier and thinking "wow thats heavy"). Its 70CM of jet black steel. Chieftec have made no compromises on this case, both in and out. It looks good with a nice finish. The fron panel is black plastic, with the rest sprayed black metal, although I have only managed to scrape the paint a few times. Inside the front "door" reveals 6 5.25" drive bays, and 2 3.5" bays, plus another 6 inside means plenty of space for whatever you wanna put in it. The external bays have a set of roller type mechanisms that you atach to the drives and then its a cinch to slot... Read review
