Advantages: Great Resolution, Auto Adjust Feature Disadvantages: None
Dell UltraSharp 1800 FP is an eighteen inch flat panel display that is truly breathtaking. I have the pleasure of staring at two to four of these at work all day long. They have been on my desk for over two years and are still impressive to me as the day they came out. The screen brightness has held up as well, something I was initially concerned about. Adjustable buttons on the front allow for quick and easy screen adjustments, while the Auto-Adjust ...

Advantages: crips clear picture Disadvantages: I think it takes up a lot of energy
I have been using this monitor at work for over a year now and the picture quality is crisp and bright. When you're using a monitor you definitely want these two qualities. It is easy to view pictures at true colors, you can read both large and fine print without strain to your eyes and you can have multiple pages open on your monitor without any issues.
There are 4 buttons in the front of the monitor, one is the power and the other 3 are setting ... ...came with a power cable and a serial cable (monitor cable with blue ends). The monitor has it's own stand and takes up about 4-5 inches in depth! Much improvement from the huge clunky monitors of old! It's 17 inches in diameter which these days is OK. People who work on spreadsheets, databases and design software such as Photoshop would benefit from a 19 or 21 inch monitor which was widescreen - of course that is completey my opinion! :)
The monitor ...

Advantages: Flat screen, it pivots up and down, nice clear display Disadvantages: Wobbles a bit on its little stand sometimes
I use this dear monitor every work day so feel I know it pretty well. It has several advantages which include its ability to pivot up and down - quite important for both the tall and vertically challenged amongst us.
Also, if, as I do, you tend to sometimes gather a small throng of people around your monitor to show them something on the screen, whether work-related or purely entertaining, then those on the outer edges of such a gathering may see ... ...sitting directly opposite - the advantages of a modern flat screen monitor (much better than having to turn it around to show the display to each individual and thus over time, no doubt weakening the cables that have to turn with it).
The stand of the monitor looks rather fragile but supports the screen fine - it stands pretty solidly on my desk although it does wobble quite a bit if I push my chair too hard towards my desk!
There's the option ...

COMPAQ TFT1501
Some years back, after a burglary and when the insurers failed to pay the full replacement value of my then pc system I decided to build my own pc. I bought a basic HP shell along with a monitor. All went well but the monitor irritated me as the light reflected off it. So.. rather than affording a whole new pc I decided just to upgrade the screen and browsing on Ebay for a flat screen I opted for the Compaq TFT1501. Why? Well, the ... ...HP/Compaq equipment and I was familiar with the quality of that brand's flat screen. Finding a great bargain price flat screen on Ebay was a bonus for me - OK so it is quite a small screen but, for me, that is no big problem - I use my pc for internet/email/correspondence and regular home stuff. I rarely played games (that's changed since i got the lappie) and the fact that it has quite a matt finish to the screen means that you barely get any reflection ...

Advantages: very clear, amazing graphics, easy to control brightness/contrast ect. Disadvantages: it may not be well worth the price.
Like all the apple product, this product, the Apple Cinema HD Display , shines and is simply brilliant. WIth a diagonal size of 23 inches, it is not so big that you'll have a headache as to where you can put it, but it's not so small you can't even see a page properly. The screen is extremely clear (chromatic colors) and it doesn't tire out your eyes. The screen has a 1920x1200 pixels resolution (16.7 colors) and very flexible viewing angles. All ... ...alot of electricity power, but Apple Cinema HD Display doesn't. For a screen so bright and big, it only uses around 80 watts and in standby, it uses 3 watt.
Last, the price. I'll have to admit, like with most apple products, the price is high. You probably CAN get a screen just as good for lower, but you won't be disspointed by this screen. I won't say I highly recommend it, but if you're looking for a durable, good quality screen, you got one here. ...
