Average Reviews:

I too purchased this at a club store for a discounted price ($219 with a coupon) and it is truly a beauty. I use it at work for documents mostly. Do not be put off by the earlier review's comment about text--it is perfectly fine and the text is actually sharp and easy to read. Took five minutes to set up, and I'm back to work right away. Excellent product, and ViewSonic's reliability is well known.

Acer H233H bmid 23-Inch Widescreen LCD Display (Black) Review

Acer H233H bmid 23 inch Widescreen LCD Display
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As many today's "cheap and fast" LCD monitors this one is a 6 bit screen. This said it can only produce 262,144 exact colors - and do this very fast.
Other 16,515,072 colors are produced using very sophisticated Hi-FRC time-based dithering algorithm, that actually flicks monitor dot slightlyat very high frequency.
Most people do not notice HFRC dithering and it does not create any inconvenience for computer related activities or for watching movies or for playing games. Nevertheless Hi-FRC systems visibly change colors shade depending on screen tilt.

So if you are buying this screen for editing images (and I mean at least PhotoShop or Gimp here) or any other application that requires correct color representation you should consider more expensive 8 bit screen.

With exception of this detail the monitor is real value for money.

It should be mentioned that HDMI input and built-in speakers open couple of interesting capabilities for this product.
For example, using (included!) HDMI cable you can easily use it as a monitor for X-Box, PS-3 (but not for Wii) or DVD player with HDMI output. Or you can connect it to your cable provider hi-def box therefore instantly converting monitor to small HDTV. The only problem is quality of integrated speakers - see below.

Well, I am still using it as a computer monitor, connected by (included!) DVI cable and pretty happy with the image quality. The screen is sharp, bright and I do not have a single dead pixel (but your mileage may vary, of course). Oh, and they include the VGA cable too, just in case.

Other pleasant details are touch controls instead of buttons and a special control for fast switching between Text, Game, Cinema and User monitor profiles.

Acer also includes program utility for some fair color correction, though as I say - if you need a better one, you may need an 8 bit LCD.

There are some drawbacks, of course.
First, the screen cannot be adjusted vertically (but you can adjust tilt).
Second, as I have mentioned, this tilt changes colors slightly. If you look from below, colors seems darker.
Third, integrated speakers are not suitable for stadium concerts... well, to be frank, with 1.5 watt power they barely acceptable as desktop speakers. It's probably a good thing one cannot connect Wii to this monitor, because it will be really hard to hear anything from the safe distance required for Wii controller.

Despite all drawback this is well deserved 5 star product. One cannot expect to buy luxury car for the price of low end sedan. In its category, for this price and as of today this monitor is a brilliant product.

ASUS VH242H 23.6-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black Review

ASUS VH242H 23.6 inch Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After 3+ months of great use of the VH242H, I cam home to find a problem that seems to be affecting/afflicting several other reviewers of this monitor - a flickering gray screen that does not seem to abate. I'll be hitting up ASUS service in the next few days, and will update this review or add comments as things progress.

Up until now, I've been very happy with this monitor and would certainly have given it 4 stars. I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1 star because it did so well. I might downgrade it depending on how ASUS service deals with this monitor.

[UPDATE 12/21/09]

Well, the monitor has gone to the ASUS repair facility and returned to me (with about a 2-week lag, and not the best online information regarding whether the monitor had been shipped or not), and it worked right out of the box.

And then it didn't. After putting my MacBook Pro to sleep and waking it up I found... the flickering BLACK screen of death. After jiggling, I was able to get the monitor working, but this happens now every time I either put the computer to sleep or unhook the monitor cable (which connects to a DisplayPort adapter). I've updated the video; more to follow soon.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I know some people will use this aa a small form pc for everyday use, but I'm only reviewing this from a HTPC perspective.Right now its connected to my network wirelessly and Im streaming my movies to my flatscreen tv.Its great for viewing Hi def content, I thought theres no way a processor this slow could ossibly playback through HDMI clearly.I was pleasantly surprised, after a bit of setup it streams ANY format thrown at it through HDMI.I loaded windows vista on this because of windows media center wich really helps with managing all my movies, music and pictures.The only issue is viewing flash video online, dont get me wrong it plays the video reasonably well but you will notice the stuttering at times on the video.Flash currently is not configured to run on these new processors so viewing flash online will be an issue until flash 10.1 wich will be released some time early next year.The processor isnt strong enough to handle high end computing tasks like video editing or photoshop, but this isnt what this pc is made for.Coupple of notes about setup, it comes with windows xp home but that OS may not provide as much sophistication as most people would like, I installed vista on this pc pretty easily.You must have either an external dvd drive or a usb drive with at least 4 giggs of available space.If your using a usb drive you must load the OS dvd on a diferent pc and then copy the files over to the usb drive, afterwards connect to this pc and start setup while in windows xp.Also please remember to load all the drivers needed if you install a new OS.[...]

ViewSonic VX2835wm 28-inch (27.5-inch Viewable) Wide LCD Monitor Review

ViewSonic VX2835wm 28-inch Wide LCD Monitor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
SEE MY VIDEO OF 4 Monitors all displaying the same problems. This was sent to ViewSonic, and They have ignored me since.No one in the company will admit to this problem, and now that I have recorded it for them, they have just ignored me from this point on.Since this is the way they want to play it, I decided to share my experience with everyone.

I purchased the VX2835wm from Circuit City Online site unseen, because no one had one of these to see. Mostly to get a near 30" Monitor for 1/3 the price of others I went for this. Since its a ViewSonic I felt comfortable with my purchase. I got the VX2835wm in July 2007. It was a problem right out of the box, and I've had 4 replacements of this model with each of the replacements being worse then the one it was replacing. Its Dark at the top of the Monitor, and bright and washed out at the bottom. You can't see at more then a 80 degree angle despite reading it's a viewing angle of 170.Colors are muted at the top third of the screen, look fair in the middle, and are washed out at the bottom. You can't Calibrate the Color of the monitor with anything external like a Pantone Huey, or a full professional Color XRite system.Several calls to support just got my head bit off by a very angry Support Tech, which seems to be the status-quo. I was barked at several times about not calibrating the monitor, and it was already calibrated! (Right!, Calibrated by the Blind.) I went an purchased the ViewSonic Extended 5 Year Warranty hoping to get better service then the standard Support Line - NOPE! Just got a nicer person telling me the same old thing.

After several months of calls, Emails, and third party non-ViewSonic Techs coming onsite to look at the problem they finally sent me a replacement under my additional Purchased Contract Guaranty of 48 hour turnaround that took a month to get!The Replacement came packed well, and was such a P.O.S. too in that it was a Demo Unit all scratched up on the Screen, Base Broken, Silver Paint all rubbed off - I called them and said you got to be joking!This model kept Popping and Hissing with the connection. Then I waited for another one to arrive under the Purchased Contract Guaranty of 48 hour replacement to arrive 2 weeks later.This time they sent me a new in Box VX, and at first it finally looked like the nightmare was over, but this one had vertical lines running top to bottom in all the light areas of the screen where a picture would be on the screen.It was suggested it was my Computer this time, But I had already tried the screen on 4 different computers (PC's and Mac's).

Then Since I'm determined to get this to work somehow, I go and purchase another VX2835wm from Amazon, and what I get is the same nightmare of the washed out colors at the bottom, and Muted at the top.So 4 of these VX2835wm's in my office, and NOT one of them have ever worked as they state.

This is a the worst waste of Money I have ever gotten involved with. I've been in the Prepress & Printing Industry for over 20 years, developing Color Correction Applications to the largest printers in the world. After spending first top dollar for this Monitor, plus a high shipping price, Tax, and then the purchase of the 5 Year Extended Warranty.I spent double what this should have cost me. I ended up sitting 2 of these on my floor unplugged because they are worth nothing because they are so bad to look at.

ViewSonic Should Recall this Touted Top of the Line VX2835wm, and do the right thing and return our hard earned money.PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND LOOK AT SOMETHING ELSE!

HP W2408H 24-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor Review

HP W2408H 24-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently did some much needed upgrades for my home office and this by far my favorite.I first saw it in Best Buy, came home to check for online reviews and to see if I could find it cheaper...I did at Amazon!

It's VERY easy to set up and is crystal clear.( I mean, razor sharp -- no stretched or blurred look anywhere!)However, there was something not quite right with the colors (especially greens) that really bothered me.PLUS the HP "My Display" software that goes with it that contains all of the drivers etc, is not fully functional on non HP machines. (meaning no calibration was available for color or contrast beyond what's built into the monitor itself which was never enough to fix my problem)I was so frustrated and disappointed.(I had been warned of this on another site but thought I'd take a gamble)Well, after trying to hook it up via the HDMI (from VGA) cable that came with it to a new $150 video card -- the colors were still way off and now the screen was all jumpy from that stupid card...(that went right back!) Then, I noticed something when I right clicked on my desktop to adjust my display settings (in XP pro) there was a selection (that had been there all along...duh) that said NVIDIA Control Panel (my internal graphics card) and I was able to calibrate the colors and adjust everything else there and now everything's hunky dory!When it first boots up, the colors look a little neon-ish again but within seconds it goes to the profile I created from my graphics card software.I am sure many would have figured it out sooner than I did, I just wanted to prevent anyone else from beating their head against the wall for a week like I did if I could.(BTW, I have completely removed the video card that I bought and it's hooked up via VGA and it is still crisp and clear)

**BTW, even though the My Display software is largely useless for me, I left it there.For some reason when I uninstalled it, the light that's under the transparent power button on the top of the monitor goes away.That was the only noticeable change after uninstalling it but it annoyed me, so I reinstalled it and it's back on and I just ignore the software**

My husband and I publish a local magazine that is glossy and full color and I am able to do so much more with this monitor than I could before.I can view two (sometimes 3) projects side by side if need be...I love that!And typing an email in outlook looks like it's in about a 60 font!And programs like Illustrator where you need a lot of workspace it's invaluable.I never have to scroll around to grab or view something.My last monitor was a 19" Sony flat panel (that cost more than TWICE what this one did 4 years ago) and I thought it was just fine but once I plugged this lil beauty in I quickly passed it on to my son for his computer.I haven't needed to use the portrait position of the screen so I haven't even tried it.But it came that way when it arrived and was very easy to swivel back around.

One bad thing...don't count on ditching your speakers for the ones that come with this one -- man do they stink!I swear my laptop has better speakers.But it's sort of like people griping that their cell phone camera doesn't take good enough pictures.If you want a good camera buy a camera!If you want a good monitor buy this one and just pretend the speakers aren't even there.The price is way worth it even without the speakers.

Q700 Sff E5400 500GB Review

Q700 Sff E5400 500GB
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the Lenovo Q700 to use exclusively as a home theater PC.Its small size and black finish make an unobtrusive addition to the livingroom decor.My only complaint about its appearance are the bright blue flashing lights on the front which indicate power-on/sleep state, and disk activity.I'm looking for some translucent tape to cover the LEDs to reduce their intensity.

The Q700 is very quiet.The internal fan and hard disk drive produce a barely perceptible sound; nothing to spoil the movie watching experience.

It comes with a nice remote control for Windows Media Center, but like the remotes for my other HT components, it's been replaced by a universal remote (URC RF20). The supplied keyboard has a nice feel and a look of quality, but the keys have to be pressed down hard to ensure registration.I replaced the included keyboard and mouse with more appropriate wireless versions which I can use from the sofa on rare occasions.The Windows interface grahics and text is a bit to small to read comfortably from a distance of 10+ feet even on a large screen TV.

The Q700 comes loaded with Windows 7 and Windows Media Center.This was my first experience with either and I'm impressed with design and performance of these Microsoft products.My one wish is that it be possible to more easily customized the WMC menus to better match my HTPC setup.I prefer the MediaBrowser add-on for accessing my movie library.I was able to hide the unneeded WMC "Movies" menu item, but only by editing the Windows registry. This is not something a novice should expect to do.

The Q700 performs well as an HTPC.I cannot think of any situations where the Intel Dual Core was unable to keep up with the processing load.Any lack of responsiveness in the WMC interface can be attributed to the universal remote, not the PC itself.

The built-in TV tuner is very good.It performs as well as the my Samsung HDTV tuner. I use it as my primary tuner so that all TV functions are included in the WMC interface.I wish the PC was equipped with a second tuner so that I could watch another channel when a TV program is being recorded.As is, one has to switch over to the HDTV tuner to watch a different channel, a more complex operation than I prefer.

Another minor complaint about the Q700 is that the analog audio outputs are not parallel to the HDMI output.If a line is plugged into the green audio output jack on the back of the Q700, the audio to the HDMI is interrupted.The same is true for the front audio (headphone) jack.I wanted to feed the analog audio output to the whole house audio amplifier.As is, the lines have to be manually plugged in whenever whole house audio is desired.

Depending on your intended use of the HTPC, the 500 GB hard disk drive may not be adequate for storage of music and video.My movie library contains only 160 DVD quality movies which consume about 600 GB.I don't know how easy it is to replace the Q700's HDD with a larger capacity drive.I decided to include network accessible storage (NAS), expandable to several terabytes, to accommodate my expanding movie and music library storage requirements.

In my opinion, buying an HTPC like the Lenovo Q700 is preferable to using a standard desktop PC or tying your home theater into your office PC using an extender.A standard desktop PC is too noisy and consumes a lot of power compared to a device like the Q700.Using an extender (like the HP X280N, if you can find one these days) will reduce overall performance of your system and make unavailable some WMC features.

I highly recommend the Lenovo Q700 as an HTPC.
