Monitor Reviews

This screen made by Hp is the best screen I have ever had on a computer!

17 inches enough to do a billion things at once and a great LCD display to watch great movies.

Anyone interested in a great screen - this one is the way to go.

I bought this monitor through eBay and I'm pleasantly surprised with it. It has a large viewing area (within reason), handles 3D games and graphics, and has a very easy to use swivel underneath, which to me is a ++. Most monitors that I have used have been very hard to adjust and move, but this one moves VERY easily, and has a wide range of movement. I bought my own Benwin speakers, but as some HP monitors usually do, it comes with speakers slots in the side of it. I can't think of anything that I don't like about this monitor? I prefer a CRT to a LCD anyday because of clarity of picture, so I highly recommend this one.

I've had this sucker for 4 years now and I've dropped it twice actually, but it still work perfect... It's nice and big too.

I love this monitor it looks awsome, and has a built in TV tuner, it ships with a remote that is also very slim and sleek. On the remote you can select either a 4:3 or 16:9 screen width both in Monitor, and TV mode, as you are aware a LCD TV with the same features, if you could find one, would cost in excess of $1,000.00. I bought this unit primarily as a TV and have not been disapointed at all, the picture is crisp, clear, and bright, I use the uunit in our master beadroom as a TV, and I just bought anotherone for our game room, whihc is where we have a PC, but now the monitor can double as a TV, and a PC monitor, we can also watch DVD movies, because the PC has a DVD drive, and we can watch tem as they were meant to be watch in 16:9 Theater Wide style.

I love this TV, and I am sure you will also.

When I decided to start shopping for a camcorder, not even fully intent on buying one yet, I ran across this particular one early on and, somewhat to my surprise, never found another one that offered as much as this one did. When I think of videorecorders and video cameras, I first think of Sony, but Sony didn't really offer a product with all of the features I found in this JVC camcorder. When I began my search, it didn't take long for me to decide that I wanted a VHS-C camcorder: I wanted to play my videos in a VCR, and I could not really afford a digital camcorder, anyway. Next, I decided I wanted a color LCD screen that was at least three inches. While zoom capability wasn't really that important to me, it also did play a factor in my decision-making process. Finally, if possible, I wanted something that could also serve as a digital camera.

This camcorder has all I wanted and more. In terms of recording modes, it offers S-VHS, S-VHS ET, and VHS. I'm not a photographic expert, but the S-VHS video playback of my tapes was much sharper and clearer than I expected; as far as I am concerned, digital video could not look much better than this and certainly offers no advantages for me to justify the extra expense. I should say that the camcorder is very light and comfortable in my hand no matter how much time I spend recording. As for the LCD screen, it is very nice. The colors, especially depending on the angle from which you are viewing it, often seem too bright, but the picture on the tape itself is perfect. One thing this model does not offer is a color viewfinder, but I don't plan on using the viewfinder much at all anyway. The black and white image on the viewfinder is very good, but using the viewfinder only serves to make you stumble around with your eyes pointed down. With the LCD screen, you can remain a part of the action as you record rather than come off as "some guy with a stupid camcorder" terrorizing your family and friends. The display rotates 270 degrees, as well, so you can record from almost any angle. One important feature of this camcorder is digital stabilization; it's hard to walk around and maintain a steady shot, and this features helps keep the jerky movements to a minimum. When it comes to zooming in, this camera really outdoes most of the competition, offering 400x . While anything at the maximum zoom is naturally going to be pretty grainy, the video quality is excellent until you get close to that maximum. Recording in darkness is also not a problem for this camcorder; besides having its own light source, it also comes with a "Night Alive" feature that increases light sensitivity and allows you to get color video in dark environments.

This is a dual camcorder, serving as a digital camera as well as a video recorder. Certainly, the quality of digital photos is not quite as good as true digital cameras offer, but they look really good to me. With 2 MB of flash memory, it can hold up to 30 digital images at one time. Other cameras offer a higher capacity for digital photos, but this is enough for me. The video capabilites come first in my mind, and the digital picture feature is just icing on the cake. The software that comes with this product is really good (at least for an amateur like myself), and I had no trouble hooking the cable up to my COM 2 port and downloading images.

There are a myriad of other features, many of which I am still just exploring. There are many combinations of screen fades/wipes and special effects. You can film your video as an old, black and white movie, really annoy your friends by stretching the width of the picture and making them look fat, add a strobe effect to jazz up the action, add a fog element for that touch of fantasy, or--my favorite--use video echo to make everything look ghostly and weird. There are more features than I can discuss here in this review.

Returning to simpler matters, I must say that the documentation that comes with this product is excellent. While it does take some time to figure out all of the many things the camcorder can do, there is no problem getting the thing up and recording almost right out of the box. On a final note, I must add that the sound quality is also very good. Since there is no way to use an external microphone with this product, I worried that I would have a hard time hearing people's conversations on tape. This is not a problem. Not only does it pick up the sounds you want to hear, it also picks up a lot of ambient sound as well. All in all, this JVC product offered me everything I really wanted in a camcorder, and I am more than happy with it. Now all I need is something interesting to record.

Ever sit in front of a computer for hours on end trying to type a last minute essay for class? Studies have shown that glare from a computer can place strain on your eyes, thus making you feel a lot more tired in a shorter time than if you reduced the glare. I have one of these on my screen and can last longer at my desk than otherwise. It's definitely a must for students and those that spend a lot of time in front of a screen.

I was looking around the internet for good quality LCD screens, there are many cheaper 17inch LCD screens, and there are many more expensive. But if you want quality then I would recommend that you look at KDS screens. I have tried many LCD screens, and none have the quality that this one has. I have tried LG LCD screens, and Sceptre, but they dont have the quality of the KDS LCD screens. The Hf ranges from 30kHz to 80 kHz, and the Vf ranges from 50kHz to 70kHz. I play alot of games and work on my computer, and I also edit video on this screen which comes out very clear. So if you can afford this screen I recommend it.

I know someone who has a sony 15 lcd and this thing is exactly like it, except this one is not ugly white and is 200 dollars cheaper, great value!!!

Wow! What a difference this monitor made. I have the desktop back.
I replaced my 17" CRT with this monitor, no hassle installation and the rascal is BRIGHT. I even played Moulin Rouge on it to see how it would do with a DVD and I was very impressed. The controls are on the front of the unit now and the auto adjust feature works like a charm. What a great deal with free shipping, you will not be disappointed either.

I own this flatpanel in OEM version (SGI F220), and I'm extremely satisfied with it. What made me go fo it was the exceptional crisp colors when watching DVDs. Also good control for adapting and stretching the picture.

It works up to 1600x1200x83Hz in analogue mode and has picture in a picture which is very nice as tv out from your gfx board.
In digital you have max 1600x1024x60Hz, but all other resolutions look good as well, thanks to the good stretching and interpolation.

The only negative point is pixel refresh rate could have been a bit better (on very fast action you get some jagging), but I've not seen this any better on other LCD monitors either.
