Microtek C588 15" LCD Monitor (Metallic)

Amazon.com Product Description

If your desktop is prime real estate but your work is graphics-intensive, the Microtek C588 provides a solution on many levels: a 15-inch diagonal viewing area, a slim and stylized design, rich color, and a bright display. The LCD screen has a 1,024 x 768 maximum resolution with a contrast ratio of 350:1, so images are crisp and sharp. Advanced onscreen controls adjust contrast, brightness, and color. The metallic casing and futuristic design will appeal to those who want their monitor to display well and look good.

The base keeps the C588 stable even when the screen is tilted at extreme angles, up to 90 degrees upward or downward. The antiglare screen features a hard coating for durability, and the monitor is ENERGY compliant, in keeping with the strict standards for low radiation, safety, ergonomics, recycling, and power management. The unit is backed by a three-year limited warranty.

Lemon!.......2003-07-10

I bought two of these. One died after 3 months, so I sent it in to get fixed. When I got it back it worked well. Now they are both broke. The good news is that Microtek is replacing them with a new model(c593). Hopefully that one works better.

Monitor Died.......2002-07-11

The monitor performed well, screen was crisp and clean and bright, but it died after two months of service. Tech Support is a toll number that is no longer in service. Despite the three year warranty, it will be a challenge to get this repaired, not to mention the inconvenience. I would recommend another unit.

very blurry at 800 x 600.......2002-05-29

Although the 1024 x 768 res at 75 Hz produces a relatively crisp picture with incredible color, the lower 800 x 600 res is very blurry. I plan to compare other lcd monitors in the next few days and will quite likely return this monitor. Otherwise, the monitor has great controls, looks very sweet, is very stable with its well-designed pedestal base, is a fine gray/silver color, and uses at most the power a 30-watt light bulb pulls.
