Customer Reviews:
Images look great, text average, but has a few drawbacks.......2001-01-10
Positives:
1. Built-in USB hub with 4 ports.
2. Only slightly larger footprint than my 17" monitor.
3. Nice large screen with good brightness.
4. Resolutions up to 1808x1440 at 71Hz and a wierd resolution of 1536x1152 at 91Hz, and standard resolution of 1280x1024 at 103Hz.
5. Supposed ability (I wasn't able to test it) to change screen size/height/width and other aspects via keyboard/mouse instead of with monitor buttons.
Negatives:
1. Although it has very high resolution, the text is not as clear as I think it should be. Black text on white background can also be difficult to read.
2. Monitor file does not include the 1808x1440 resolution and cannot select it through usual right click on desktop, properties, then settings, then screen area. Have to select it through the ELSA settings tabs on my erazor X video card.
3. CTX USB control file will not install on my Windows ME computer. Haven't found one specific for ME yet.
4. After the monitor would be it its powersaving mode, and it would come back on, the image size would not assume the proper size immediately. It would take several minutes. The taskbar at the bottom of the screen would only be partially visible, initially. Also, at the same instant, the USB scanner would go through its power on cycle again, even though it was already on. So I moved the scanner to a separate hub.
Still not sure if I will keep the monitor. Although it was received as a gift, for the price that was paid, I would expect the monitor to be better.
