Don't buy this monitor. [Posted on 2007-03-02]
I picked up this monitor over the weekend because my old one died on me and I needed to finish something that day. I went out and selected from whatever was readily available and chose this monitor as it was only one of two CRT models available.
The image is nice for the most part but there are two problems that really bother me:
1. The explorer bar (Windows XP) at the bottom of the screen shifts a little--vertically and horizontally by a few pixels--when you open and close a window. It doesn't prevent the monitor from being usable, but it's really annoying and I've never seen any other monitor do that.
2. The max resolution is 1280 x 1024 as they claim, but the only refresh rate at that resolution is 60Hz and I personally can't stand to look at a screen at 60Hz. 75Hz becomes available if you switch the resolution to 1152 x 864.
I've already ordered a replacement and will be returning this one.
Great basic monitor [Posted on 2008-07-31]
I've had this monitor for years, and I've had no problems with it at all. Image is stable and crisp. On-screen-display is good enough. My only complaint: the data cable is hard wired into the monitor which means you can't replace it if you need to use a longer cable.
