Advantages: Excellent quality, widescreen is handy Disadvantages: You must have good video card to get full benefit
When building our Dell computer, Hubby pushed for the widescreen monitor. While I thought it totally unnecessary at the time, I'm glad I gave into his request. Having this very large screen is so nice. You can have more than one window open and see both at the same time. The resolution is awesome and it's just a matter of time until all the web content will catch up. We happen to have an upgraded video card as well, and this also improves the picture ... ...It comes with two different cables depending on your video card set up. TIP: The instructions direct you to use one cable, but use the other one if your video card allows it - it will give you a higher quality picture.
I have owned this monitor for over 2 years and it's working like the very first day. I have no doubts about its durability.
As for its footprint, it's actually quite small. While the screen itself takes up a bit of real estate, the ...

Advantages: Bright, Easy to Use, USB Ports, Clear, Swivel, Multi Inputs Disadvantages: Expensive, Addicitve
...quite a long time, though Dell have recently released a 24" monitor that doesn't swivel or have all the inputs this does - but if you had to decided between the cheaper model and this one, this would be the way to go. This monitor easily switched between VGA, DVI, S-VIDEO, Component and Composite, which means you can plug-in several devices at once e.g. two computers, DVD/Blu-Ray Player or TV Tuner, Xbox 360 etc. There are also powered USB ports ... ...speaker you can buy from Dell which attached to the bottom of the screen and plugs directly into the monitor - I bought one of these, but rarely use it as it is not very loud.
You can swivel this monitor right around to a 90 degree angle, which I am currently using - this makes scrolling through text much easier.
I personally find that the 24" is much brighter than the 30" Dell Monitor, and also has better colour continuity. If you are a gamer, ...

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. ...

...Display 23 in, as in Apple the best tradition difference can be seen already from package. Packaged where nothing is left to chance. Package luxurious contains the cable for connecting to DVI computer, the cable feeding and paperwork. The main strengths of this display are certainly the great visual area, the yield chromatic color (REALLY EXCELLENT) the excellent viewing angle that allows a mink optimal to corners very high, and design and ergonomics ... ..."common interest". Who does not evidence can not understand these fund characteristics that seem exaggerated for a display and that the order can be considered like all other display (both we must put it on the desk and watch, one would think). The experience of using this fantastic display is "exceptional" and no other monitors will give you the same agreeability. The body entirely in aluminum gives a sense of professionalism and a clean lines that ...
