The Optiquest Q9 LCD monitor is a bargain monitor that actually works!

 

I acquired my Optiquest Q9 LCD monitor by repairing it and saving it from the trash heap. Yes, if you wish to purchase your own Q9, you must first make sure that it is new or if used comes with a 30 day warranty. The power capacitors in this ...

Bright display

Weak power capacitors will fail under continuous use, poor speakers

Still going strong after 2 years

 

I've been reading the reviews by folks who've had failures after a year. Maybe mine was made better because it's a year older than theirs?

Great colour, no dead/stuck pixels. Didn't ever try the speakers, so I can't comment on that. I don't do gaming, but it's been great for casual web / word processing / spreadsheet type work

Limited tilt adjustment, integrated monitor cable

Attention: Do not buy this monitor
