Summary: Happy user
Review: I ordered this monitor with great hesitation. I was reluctant to order a monitor from a company that I had never heard of, sight unseen. Sure enough, the monitor arrived dead - all pixels were white regardless of the mode (analog, digital, TV, etc.). I called Cornea's service number and (on the first ring) talked to someone who shipped a replacement monitor to me. I unpacked the replacement, put the dead one in the box and dropped it off at a UPS center (they paid postage both ways).The monitor is great! I use is with a DVI cable with my Mac. The VGA cable is ready to hook up to my XP laptop if I want to run dual screens. The video/TV functions are nice. Bright colors and high contrast in all modes. The only weakness is the sound, but it can run a pair of external computer speakers or hook up to a regular stereo with no trouble.

Summary: Excellent Monitor
Review: I paid a higher price for this monitor in December 2002 and still think that it is worth what I paid. The biggest thing about this monitor is that it gives you the ability to connect anything you want to it. I am using the DVI connector for my computer and get a very sharp picture- with no noticable ghosting. The only reason I would not give it five stars is the TV tuner is not that great- even with the cable TV running on the coaxial cable. Even if it had no TV tuner, it is still an excellent monitor at the price- just consider the tuner as a free bonus. Watching DVDs on my computer or playing games I get very sharp resolutions.

Summary: Don't do it you'll be sorrry.....
Review: I purchased one of these thinking it could replace the TV in our family area, it was larger than out 13" TV, and we could also get rid of our huge 17" Tube monitor. Well the TV picture quality is not so great, but for a monitor, while close to a tube, the resolution just isn't there, and if you have the shades open in the room it is almost impossible to see anything on the monitor, or the TV, I also was not crazy about the color of the case, there are two different colors, Black and Silver, I wish it was just one or the other, not both. Needless to say, the TV, and the huge monitor are back, I guess I will wait awhile, and hope that the image quality gets better in LCD monitors.

Summary: TV in the kitchen
Review: I purchased this to use as a tv in the kitchen. To save space I mounted it IN the wall, so it looks like a picture hanging there. The picture is crisp, clear, bright and viewable from almost any angle. The remote is also of good quality (I received a standard sized one, not a little one as mentioned in other reviews) The reason it got 4 stars from me is the speakers. They are weak but still do the job. I guess if I wanted better speakers I would have spent twice the money on a LCD TV. This is a great buy!

Summary: It works for me.
Review: I quite like this monitor/TV. We have the computer in our bedroom and now we can also watch TV in bed (ER is on a bit late after all). This monitor can be used in five modes Analog, Digital, S-Video, Composite Video and TV. Also it has internal loudspeakers and a remote. As a computer monitor it is reasonable. I have only used it in the Analog mode (VGA connector). One can see a "shadow" behind the letters and one needs to play for quite while with the auto, size and phase settings to get the optimal picture. I have not tried the digital mode (DVI connector). As a TV monitor one can either use RCA style inputs for composite video, or the s-video connector. The picture is very good and most importantly; it works with both European PAL signals and American NTSC signals. The electronics figures out what signals it is and adjusts its settings automatically. Niiice. This unit also works as a TV. One needs to fiddle a bit with brightness, contrast and solor settings a bit, but then the picture is OK. The sound is just mono though and the internal loudspeakers are very small making the sound a bit thin. Also, one can not switch on the captions. This set comes with a remote; which is the flimsiest, tiniest one I ever saw. It is a credit card sized thingy powered by Li coin battery. It has calculator style buttons for sound, channel up/down menu etc. I better get a "replace all" remote because I doubt this thing is going to have a long life. To change between all these modes one can use the select button on the monitor or the remote. It takes quite a while to go from monitor to TV. One can only cycle trough the modes sequentially and witch each step the screen goes black for a few second. I think that this unit was for the money a good buy. Also it looks quite nice even when it is switched off.

Summary: Cornea Systems CT1503 15" LCD Flat Panel Monitor
Review: I was researching an LCD TV for my bedroom for a month before I came to the conclusion that this one featured on Amazon.com is the lowest price out there. Although I was looking at other factors aside from price, but price was among my top three. My first requiremnt was picture quality, then price, then reviews based on other users. Let's just point out right now for the record that as a person that's on the computer an average of 10 hours a day and does a lot of online researching and online shopping, Amazon.com has mastered online shopping for one main reason, the users review are wonderful and really make you confident when you are looking at millions of possible items. I read the reviews about this product and saw nothing but good words. I will be the next to give this item rave reviews.
I waited a couple of months to review it so I can give a fair and accurate review, I have owned it now for 3 months. *PRICE: As mentioned before, you cannot get lower that this for the quality and looks *LOOKS: It is gorgeous, unique design, very very very thin, black on silver makes it very attractive *PICTURE: The resolution on for the television mode and monitor mode could not be better, being in the computer field and always have top of the line equipment at work, this is the best resolution screen I have EVER had! *SOUND: There were some complaints from other reviewers on sound and I was worried when I received it, but I use it in my condo bedroom, and sometimes even when it is on high I still never have noticed any poor sound quality, it is perfect for bedroom use! *INSTALL: Although I am a computer exert, I'm not an electrical expert and was a bit worried that I would have problems installing this since I also had a digital cable box from COX and High Speed Internet, but it was a so easy, did it in a few minutes once I had all the proper cords/wires *EASE OF USE: You won't even need a manual to use this, easy, self explanatory, literally just plug in and enjoy! *SIZE: Very compact, very slim, it is a lot slimmer than many LCD screens out there that don't even have a tv tuner *ADDITIONALS: I must warn you, if you are also connecting this to digital cable you will have an added [$$$] cost for buying all the cables to connect *TV & MONITOR: Other reviewers mentioned that it was a bit slow going from different modes i.e. monitor to TV, this is such a small set-back you get used to it and you are so happy with this tv/monitor that you won't even care! ADVICE: If you are also connecting to digital cable and high speed internet modem, buy good wired to connect these, I don't remember the names of the wires you need but there are 2, buy the ones with atleast 2GHZ even though COX will tell you all you need is 1GHZ. It makes a lot of difference is resolution and quality! All I have to say is buy buy buy and buy from Amazon.com too, you get it sent to you for ... at a price that no one will believe!
Hope my experience helped.

Summary: Close but no cigar...
Review: Outside of the normal limitations of LCD's in general and considering the price for this 17" monitor/tv I got what I paid for (excuse the poor syntax). But what prevented me from rating this monitor any higher than 3 stars is the fact that there were three stuck pixels and Cornea has a four bad pixel policy before considering repair/replacement of the unit. I learned this from their website as they had no responded to repeated email inquiries which I made and still have not received a response from them since February 2003. It wouldn't be so bad if the pixels were located somewhere other than near the center of the display.

Summary: Cornea Monitor w/ TV Tuner
Review: Received my monitor yesterday, on the exact day it was supposed to come, despite an 8 inch snowfall. A dont understand what all the complaints are about. Mine is nearly perfect. The only draw back is the slow speed when changing between modes (analog, digital, composite, s-video, tuner.) Aside from that, it is great. And even this complaint is negligible. And the price was outstanding. Other sites had the same monitor at nearly $300 more, what a rip-off. Installation takes 2 seconds, after you figure out that the power supply doesnt plug directly into the monitor. There is an intermediate connection that has to be made first. The remote is full sized (but it has 8 unidentified buttons, for what, I dont know???) I have been playing MOHAA Spearhead without any issues like ghosting. In fact, the quality is better than on my $400 Viewsonic CRT. And watching a DVD was such a treat. And the picture. I had to turn the brightness down. Adjusting contrast and brightness is easy both through the remote and the buttons on the panel. Black actually looks black. Colors are vivid and true, but different than on a CRT. It takes a bit of getting used to. Not better or worse, but different. Certainly, you can look at the screen for longer periods without eye strain. The TV tuner is such a nice feature. The TV quality isnt perfect, but thats more a signal issue than a tuner issue. I am sure with digital cable or satelite the quality would be far better. I highly recommend this product. Im no monitor expert, but to my largely untrained eye it looks incredible.
