General Comments

I have tested the Monitor with the following configurations
1) Intel DA815eea2 mother board with PIII 1 GHz. on board AGP with 4 MB RAM. runnning Win 2k pro. The screen resolution was tested at 1028X768 upto 1280X1024. These test were carried out using two brand new monitors. Same test were carried out with an extranl AGP with 16 MB RAM with similar results.

The colors were poor. In fact the icon of explorer looks horrible on the screen. One has to strain to see that this is the lens in the explorer icon.

The screen appears hazy and unclear. I can see the pixels and so the uniformity in the font is lost.

The screen is too bright. ( Especially the white portion) and if the brightness is reduced coloured pictures appear unclear.

I found the standard samsung 17" 750S ( which is not a flat screen monitor)a much better monitor. It does not hurt the eyes. Also I compared the colors with a 17" monitor supplied by Micron and found it far superior in comfort than the LG Flatron.

    I'm sure the guy has never set eyes on this monitor. I've owned this monitor for a year and I am very pleased. It has great focus all over, just minor problems at the edges which is common for most monitors priced twice as much. The colours are vibrant and the picture is rock solid at 85 refresh rate. Great performance for the price. No 17'CRT monitor is worth more than 350. All above are just overestimated and overpriced. Wait for LCD prices to go down if looking for excellent display.

    I hate monitor reviews because many people fail to realize the problems with clarity/focus/sharpness etc... stem from both the monitor AND the videocard. If one were to compare a geforce line vid. (not the special ones with better filters) card to a matrox or ati card, in most cases, the matrox and ati cards have way better image quality. Now, you were testing on some integrated videocard...

    Ok ppl ...I I greee with this guy who says that most of the ppl above don't know how to test a monitor ...well At least you should tell us something about video card!!!!! And there is no STANDARD about that ... 1.)IT'S VERY IMPORTANT WHAT KIND OF VIDEO CARD ARE YOU USING 2.)AT LEAST GET A PROGRAM FOR MONITOR TESTING 3.)CHECK YOUR CABLE THAT IT'S WELL PLUGED IN YOUR VIDEOCARD 4.)AVOID MAJOR ELECTROMAGNETIC ARTIFACTS LIKE SWITCHER POWER SUPLY FROM COMPUTER OR OPEN COMPUTER WITHOUT A CASE 5.)AND THEN YOU CAN WRITE A GOOD REVIEW HAVE FUN!!!

    The beauty of my testing is that all the monitors Samsung, LG and Micron were tested using the same setup of video cards and CPU boards and then compared. The results are what I described in my review.
