Good monitor for everyday, normal use.

This monitor was included with a Compaq computer that I bought and it hasn't given me any problems since. It's a flat screen (different from LCD) with 2 small slits on both sides to slide the speakers in to hang on the sides of the monitor. If you don't have the speakers or if you don't want to connect them to the monitor directly, that is no problem because the slits are barely visible and do not stick out. The monitor doesn't take much room and fits snugly on my desk. I don't ever have to turn it off because like most monitors, it automatically goes on standby when the computer is off or in sleep mode and turns back on with the computer. All in all this is a good, reliable monitor.

By R. Geissman
Purchased this monitor as part of a bundle with an Emachines system @ Circuit City. The monitor has a great picture and comes with JBL Platinum Speakers and built in microphone. While I'm not a fan of built in mic's this one works OK. The speakers are powered and need to be manually turned on and off via the volume control. They can be hung on the side of the monitor or they also can be put on the desktop with supplied stands. They sound pretty good but sound distorted at higher levels. They are a huge step up from the supplied e-machines speakers that came with the CPU though. Controls are easy to use and all cables and such are provided. ...

I love this monitor. I bought it on sale 3 years ago and it has worked beautifully. I've yet to see any cathode-ray tube with a better picture. I guess the rating should really be 4.5 stars, because it's a little on the bulky/heavy side, even for a CRT (I think that may be why Compaq redesigned their monitors shortly hereafter). But once it's in place, that really doesn't matter. Now I have a crisis: my new machine came with another 17-inch monitor, but I can't bring myself to give this one up.
