perfect for laptop external monitor

 

I bought this as a larger, brighter display for my laptop (Toshiba U205-S5022 ... 2 1/2 years young ... XP Professional - upgraded to 2GB RAM - stellar investment BTW!). This fit the bill almost perfectly (see 'mini' cons listed above). My other...

bright, clear image; high contrast ratio ; its close match (1360x768) to my 12.1" laptop screen resolution (1280x800) makes it an excellent choice for an external monitor ; VGA and DVI-D ; intuitive controls & menu; good control/calibration software ;...

standard stand is tilt only; will need something to put it on or a swing arm/wall mount to raise it above the level of your open laptop (unless you have a docking station a la Dell Latitude, of course) ; a perfect match to native laptop resolution...

Great Monitor

 

I've had this monitor for about 5 months now and I've been quite pleased with it. It has a fantastic picture, excellent color balance and contrast ratio. Its picture rotation function is quite a nice feature epically when working with portrait document...

As stated in earlier reviews the monitor settings are controlled by touch sensitive buttons, which in its self isn't so bad, but its difficult to see which button does what. Good thing is, once the monitor is adjusted to your preferences you don't need...

Beautiful monitor! Easy to assemble and set up! No dead pixels

Driver software on CD does not work with Windows Vista 64-bit OSes! You have to register the monitor before you can locate the proper driver software for Vista 64-bit OSes. However, once you find it, and install the driver for your particular...

Good Brand, Good Price

 

Still glad i bought it, solid monitor, good brand, and looks great.

The monitor has a alot of little bells and whistles which make it a bargain. The 15000:1 contrast ratio is noticable and it had power saving features ; Ive tried this monitor on movies, gaming, and benchmarks, and its absolutely fine

since its 18.5", its max res is 1360x768. Still not bad though ; The Asus 19" went on sale with free shipping 2 days after i ordered this one
