Optiquest Q71 17" Monitor (PC/Mac)

Summary: A Good Monitor for the Price
Review: I bought this monitor for my old Performa two years ago. There were some problems getting the right adapter initially, but once I did, it was easy to hook up. You can adjust the color and brightness with a press of a button, located conveniently on the front. I've never had a problem with over-heating like I had with my previous monitor, although I must say that this monitor does put out quite a bit of warmth when I've had it on all day. And, it is big and bulky, like one reviewer mentioned. But the picture quality is very good for both graphics and desktop publishing. It was well worth the money.

Summary: Decent, nothing more, nothing less
Review: I use this display everyday at work and always thought it was ok. Then I bought a new Sony for my home computer and the Optiquest does not compare favorably, granted my Sony costs almost twice as much. Everything about this monitor is adequate, from the colors, to the text sharpness. If your going to do graphics on your computer, then you can do much better, but web surfing or word processing its ok.

Summary: Excellent for the price
Review: I was stuck in the torment which is a really old small monitor. When I would surf, most web sites didn't show up correctly because of it, and I decided to buy a new monitor. I chose this one, for the price, and because a friend recommended it to me, having purchased one himself.

When I plugged this one in, it was like the scene in Wizard of Oz, when it goes from black in white to color. Amazing. The difference it made in viewing web pages is awesome.

I primarily use mine for web surfing, word processing and some graphics design, and I've been quite pleased.

The monitor works with both my current computer, a Pentium III, and my old one, an AMD-K6. It was very easy for me to hook up, and I didn't even have to use the software which came with it, it already was compatible with my computer, which was a plus. I love just being able to plug things in and go!

I set out looking for a moderately priced monitor with a clear crisp picture, and I got it. I'm completely satisfied.

The only thing negative I can think to say is that it takes up alot of room on my computer desk! It's quite big and bulky. But for the price and picture quality, it's a small price to pay.
