The best 24 Inch Monotor I Could Find [Posted on 2008-03-30]
I did a lot of searching for a 24 inch monitor and finally settled on this one. After reading many reviews it is clear for most monitors the likelihood of a bad one ranges about 3 to 4 percent and the likelihood of dead pixels is 10 to 20 percent. Note that this monitor has a three year warranty. Most others are only one or two years. I am happy to see this one has no dead pixels.

Having moved from a 17 inch monitor the first impression was what a giant! One thing I love is that I can look at my work area and have all my desktop icons in view on the left. And I can have a number of different folders open with them all in view.

The view is crisp and bright and the resolution is great. Even small text print is sharp. And there is little brightness shift with view angle. The monitor has both elevation angle and height adjustment. The height adjustment is spring loaded so moving it is easy but it could be a little smoother. The monitor rotates horizontally smoothly on a concealed "lazy Susan" and tilts smoothly in elevation angle. Both require some pressure so the monitor does not move from desk vibrations and being bumped. Display adjustments are viewed on the screen and changes are made with buttons on the lower right side of the screen frame. The main complaint I have is that it is hard to see the small buttons while you are making adjustments. There are two power switches. The main is on the back which can be left on and one on the front with a blue light is handy for everyday use.

To be able to move the cursor over this large screen you will definitely need a cordless mouse. Still you will need a lot of space to move the mouse. For that reason I have found the Logitech cordless thumbball to be the ideal mouse. And to use this large monitor you will need a video accelerator capable of 1920 by 1200 pixel resolution.
