This panel may satisfy frugal users, but people looking for a higher standard of graphics output should pass it by.

KDS Rad-5

Low price; great performance; fast pixel-response time; full-featured onscreen menu system.

Confusing, hard-to-press control buttons.

You can't beat the price on this bargain 15-inch flat-panel display.

Plain and simple, KDS's RAD-5 comes with a great price but little else.

KDS Radius Rad-5

 

The reason? Supply and demand. During the past year, new LCD fabrication plants have come online, especially in China, Korea, and Taiwan. At the same time, sagging sales in the desktop PC market have spilled over to affect notebook sales, causing...

KDS Rad-5 review

 

Currently available at Office Depot and Wal-Mart for $399, KDS's 15-inch Rad-5 display delivers surprising performance and a few midrange features to boot. What's the problem then? Considering its bargain-basement price, we couldn't find one--you even...

KDS Radius Rad-5 and ViewSonic VE150m Reviews

 

We've written more than once that a 15-inch monitor is too small for productive work nowadays, but we'll gladly make an exception for LCD monitors -- a flat panel's true 15- rather than a CRT's under-14-inch viewable area, combined with its...

The VE150m's frequency range is 50Hz to 75Hz (vertical) and 30kHz to 60kHz (horizontal); the display stayed stable even under our fluorescent lights at its default 1,024 by 768 and 60Hz -- once after a reset we forgot to change it to our usual 75Hz...

I received this awesome monitor a day ahead of schedule and with no dead pixels! The sticker on the top is horrendous though, I've already written a red-hot complaint to KDS about it, it took me 20-30 mins just to get the darn thing off! One thing you...

KDS RAD-5 Gray 15" LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 300:1

 

This monitor is excellent - no dead pixels, very bright and sharp. At first I didn't think it was all that great, then while looking through the on-screen menu I found a "pitch" setting (I think it was) and after looking at text and moving the slider...
