Famous Brand / 19-inch / 1280×1024 LCD monitor

Monday, April 25th, 2005 | Monitors, Reviews

Here is another to be added to the ever growing list of low priced 19-inch flat panel LCD monitors. Just as 17-inch flat panel LCD monitors were becoming such great value, now 19-inch monitors are doing the same thing.

So let’s get to the technical specifications. It can support up to SXGA 1280×1024 resolution @ 75MHz, which means you will be able to fit more windows onto your desktop when you are working, without them looking too small. The contrast ratio is 700:1 which means a cleaner, sharper image.

It will accept Analog RGB input signals, as well as DVI input. Stereo speakers are included too.

Reports from consumers say that you get pretty much what you hope for from this monitor.

It’s display is very good, giving the sharp image they claim. And doing everything as claimed.

The only concerns lie with the company that produces it. As with many small companies, although the product is good, their service is terrible, and it is hard to get response from them on any matter. There have been reports of long waits for the rebates that come with this monitor. There was also a case of someone’s monitor failing 23 days after the end of the 1 year warranty.

I still recommend this monitor, simply because amongst the cheap flat panel computer monitors that are around, it is good for the money.

If you buy it from a reputable retailer, you will be able to cover yourself if the monitor has any bad pixels, which are when one of the dots on the screen doesn’t show the right colors, as the retailer would handle the exchange.

So right on the money, but maybe not for those looking for good backup service and a well known brand.

Note: This monitor has previously been under the brand name “Sceptre”
