Hanns.G HG281DPB LCD Monitor Review

By Bill O'Brien (computershopper.com)

Low price ; good overall display quality

Limited connectivity options ; OSD buttons are on back of bezel ; minor gray-scale/white-level weaknesses

Despite the shortage of video connections, the Hanns.G HG281DPB performs surprisingly well for a budget big-screen monitor.

G HG281DPB LCD is the definition of a big-screen bargain. This $500 27.5-inch...

Hanns.G HG281GPB

By Katherine Stevenson (maximumpc.com)

We hadn't even heard of Hanns.G until about five months ago, when we tested the company's HW223DPB. That 22-inch model's 6-bit color, bare-bones build, and lack of HDCP earned it just a 6 verdict in our August issue. But Hanns.G is clearly stepping it ...

HDMI input ; good color ; low price point

Lacks the options of more expensive monitors ; no height adjustment

The screen's performance is also acceptable. The HG281DPB was fairly adept at DisplayMate's obstacle course test patterns. Grayscale reproduction was smooth up to 256 steps, but the light end was a little blown out at 64 or more steps. We detected ...

Hanns-G HG-281DJB: HG-281DJB

By Roy Santos (pcworld.com)

This extremely low-priced 28-inch wide-screen (27.5-inch viewable area) monitor produced very high text scores, making it ideal for people who want a large monitor to view several documents at a time. The HG-281DJB also has an HDMI port, but its ...

Good built-in speakers HDMI port

Weak graphics performance Boring panel design

The Hanns-G HG-281DJB has a tempting $599 (as of December 10, 2007) price, and it does a decent job with office documents. But it does have a hard time in certain graphics situations, so you may want to look for a more well-rounded performer

Hannspree HannsG 28" LCD Monitor: BIGGER *IS* BETTER (CHEAPER Ain't Bad Either!)

By mrkstvns (epinions.com)

I love the space-efficiency and sleek black design of most LCD monitors on the market these days, but the good ones in big sizes are often priced above what I want to pay for a monitor, so I've made do with my old 21" CRT. That changed a couple months .....

Good looking, sturdy, BIG flat-screen monitor with excellent picture quality

Just a few worries about buying an unknown brand (offset by CA$H savings!!)

Happy with my purchase

By N/A (newegg.com)

This monitor, like many other reviews say, is gigantic. I was skeptical about buying this monitor because it used TN paneling, which means it has reduced viewing angles. However, upon receiving it, and testing this for myself, it seems perfectly fine from...

The box that the monitor came in looked kind of beaten up, but despite that, there was no dead pixels, and everything inside was in mint condition

Absolutely Fantastic

By mojo (newegg.com)

The screen is 24 inches wide and 15 inches high. When I reviewed a folderful of old Photoshop work I discovered glaring flaws on about a fifth of it. They all looked perfect on my old Envision CRT screen, even when blown up. On the HannsG every little de...

My biggest monitor previously was a 25" Sony Trinitron. This monitor seems to be about 50% larger, and the picture quality is excellent. Crisp and sharp and very easy on the eyes. This monitor ROCKS ; The item shipped quickly from Newegg, and came complet...

The initial picture setting is a little confusing but once you learn the basic steps it's actually pretty easy. Very similar to working the button controls on a Sony Bravia, it's a matter of learning which buttons to push in what order. After the initial...
