Good quality TFT monitor at reasonable cost

Advantages: Lightweight, good viewing angle adjustment
Disadvantages: Speakers not best quality, but workable

...I decided to replace my 19" CRT monitor for home use. Using a 17" TFT at work, I found the resolution ont hat more than adequate. Research on prices on the web showed that this Digimate monitor was the most reasonable, with the right features. I was particularly attracted by the angle adjustment, and the built-in speakers. Ordering was extremly simple - I used a company called aria - and the cost was £123 inc VAT. I had the screen delivered to my work address, which was no problem for their on-line ordering system. The product arrived promptly and well packaged. Configuration onto my system was easy - very much a simple plug and play, as you would expect these days. The process was simple for all levels of user - from basic to expert. Setting the monitor up ont he desk - again very easy, with the angle adjustment...

Review of 17" Digimate L-1718 TFT Monitor

Excellent TFT for an Excellent price

Advantages: Cheap, but still an excellent quality monitor, 12 ms response time
Disadvantages: Built in speakers, monitor wobbles with the stand

.... Another unlike able point is that of the odd designed it tends to let the monitor wobble a bit, for example if you have your printer on the same desk or if you give it a tap. But it's really not an issue as you don't go around tapping your monitor or printing documents constantly. I would highly recommend this monitor to any one it's as good as any well known manufacture, but much cheaper if your looking for a 17 inch monitor for all round media use this is the TFT for you....

Review of 17" Digimate L-1718 TFT Monitor

Are You Smart Enough?

Advantages: great price, great product
Disadvantages: none

...have only dealt in monitors up until now they are about to launch a couple of LCD Televisions in their range. I'm no expert but I'm going to try to explain exactly what it means to have an LCD TFT monitor. I'll apologise to any electronic specialists out there in advance in case I get this wrong and would love to know so I can correct it. In simple terms then LCD or Liquid Crystal Displays have been around for a long time now in such things as digital watches, clocks and even on the display panel on your microwave. The liquid crystal solution is placed between two sheets of polarizing material and when electricity is passed through the liquid, the crystals act like a shutter either opening or closing to allow or block light coming through them. TFT or thin film transistor is what adds the colour into the frame and each of the pixels...

Review of Yusmart 19" TFT Monitor

Angelcare Monitor

Advantages: Peace of mind.
Disadvantages: Remember to turn off when lifting baby out of cot

...I knew from the outset that i would be one of those paranoid mum's constantly worrying about my baby & wondering if he was still breathing through the night, so I invested in the Angelcare monitor with movement sensor mat. The set includes a 'baby unit', 'parent unit' & movement sensor mat. The mat is placed under baby's mattress (if like mine, the base of the cot is slatted, or you're using it in such a moses basket, then you will need to place the mat on a firm surface such as a piece of plywood under the mattress), & is so sensitive that it can detect even the lightest of breathing. The mat connects to the baby unit which then transmits to the parent unit. If no movement (yes, even light breathing counts as movement) is detected for 20 seconds, an alarm sounds on both the baby & parent units, enabling time to get to your baby...

Review of AngelCare AC401 Movement and Sound Baby Monitor

A Quality Monitor

Advantages: Many functions, clear sound, no interference, talk back
Disadvantages: Temp sensor maybe a bit sensitive

...We recently borrowed this monitor from a friend - it's on our wish list but we can't really afford to buy one, so we are trialling this one at the moment. Due to us borrowing it, we were never given an instruction manual, but have still managed to figure out most of the functions with success! And compared to our Tomy Walkabout, this is a fantastic monitor, even if it is a little pricey (£69.99 I think) The Baby Unit: This unit has 9 buttons across the top: -On/Off Switch -Rec button (which I think is to record your voice but we haven't used this function) -Page (to page the parent unit I presume if you've lost it somewhere) -A button with three circles on - I think this is to increase or decrease the brightness of the nightlight -Nightlight -Volume up -Volume down -Play/Stop (the lullabies) -Music (to select...

Review of BT 150 Digital Baby Monitor

£185, yet I'm not 100% satisfied...

Advantages: Big size, Space saving
Disadvantages: "Signal Out of Range" until WinXP driver loads if TV-Out is plugged in, Dead Pixel, No DVI

...The Di-Fusion 19" TFT monitor is a screen for the computer, just like the one you're staring at now. If you still have a CRT (TV sized monitors), then the one I'm reviewing is a flat version of that. CRT's are outdated and flat screens are fast becoming the standard. The Di-Fusion has a silver frame with black everywhere else. The screen is easy to set up and involves connecting the screen to the 'foot' so it can stand, connecting the VGA cable from the PC's graphics card to the monitor, power and sound cable to your PC (optional). I think the silver plastic looks a bit cheap but only if I look closely. Like most TFT monitors, you can physically adjust the angle of the screen by tilting it. This one is no different and it is easily done. The viewing angle is about average. Looking at screen at an angle from the monitor does make...

Review of Di-Fusion P196A 19" TFT Monitor

Angel care baby monitor set my mind at rest!

Advantages: easy to use, flexible, gives peace of mind
Disadvantages: unable to think of any!

...This product was a definite good purchase! I was quite overwhelmed with how much choice there was in the market as to which baby monitor to buy and I settled on this one as it sounded ideal. The product is a senor pad which detects tiny movements and will alarm after 20 seconds if there has been no movement so, for example, if your baby stopped breathing an alarm would go off after 20 seconds alerting you to this. The sensory pad is a flat square which you place underneath the cot mattress so it isn't bulky or uncomfortable for the baby to lie on. The pad is attached to the monitor which is really easy to use. It has a night light- which we turn off every time we turn the pad on so we can tell just by looking if we have remembered to turn it on! it also has a light which flickers every time your baby moves but this light is...

Review of Angel Care Movement and Sound Monitor

Good cheap baby monitors (Tomy Walkabout Classic Advance Monitor)

Advantages: 100% portable, mains or battery powered, good solid units
Disadvantages: Can eat through batteries

...Recently the video baby monitors that I had been given (second hand) gave up the ghost so I had to purchase a new set. I decided that I didn't need a video one again or one with any other fancy gimmick on it (one that plays a melody etc), I wanted a nice basic and reasonable cheap monitor just so I could hear when she wakes up in a morning etc. After looking online at the hundreds of monitors available (most of which are very expensive) I found the Tomy Walkabout Classic Advance and after reading a couple of reviews I decided that this one should do the job just fine. Whats in the Box? In the box you get a set of instructions whish tell you how to get started and how to use all of the various features these monitors have, you also get two baby monitor unit, one is the baby unit and one is the Parent Unit and you get two mains adaptors...

Review of Tomy Walkabout Classic Advance Baby Monitor

Monitor Your Baby

Advantages: peace of mind
Disadvantages: none

...Baby Walkabout Advance from Tomy Living in a flat I felt I did not really need the most high tech and expensive of monitors and just needed one that really did the job. I was looking at all the ones available to buy on Amazon and this one sprang out at me. It was not the cheapest monitor going but it certainly was not the most expensive either. Monitors range from about £15 up to an astonishing £100 plus. The latest ones out on the market offer a television screen where you are actually able to see your baby as well as hear their sounds and monitor room temperature. I feel however the television screen is a little bit much and think I would find myself glued to the screen while all the time away from the baby. This particular baby monitor set me back only £29. I think this is a fair price for what you are getting...

Review of Tomy Walkabout Baby Advance Monitor

Dell 1907FP 19 inch TFT monitor

Advantages: Crisp image, USB ports
Disadvantages: none

...--Background-- I use this 19 inch monitor in my role of Project Manager. It is the first TFT I have been bought by the company as previously, all staff used the bulkier CRT models. First impressions are that the amount of desk space you save is vast and the image quality is very impressive. You have the choice of either using the VGA interface or the newer DVI interface, whichever you choose you are guaranteed a crisp image. --Installation-- This monitor is extremely simple to set up even a computer novice would have no problems with it. All that needs doing is connecting the appropriate VGA / DVI cable from the back of the PC to the monitor and then connecting the power cable to the mains. The next time the PC is switched on, Windows (assuming you are using that operating system) will detetect the new monitor and attempt...
