Amazon.com Product Description
Magnavox's MPD700 offers the versatility of a portable DVD player alongside the performance of a sophisticated home-theater component--and you can use it as both. You can also personalize your playback like never before: the player handles DVD-Video, DVD+R/+RW, and standard and recordable audio CDs, including MP3- and JPEG-encoded discs. Its slender chassis houses a 7-inch widescreen (16:9) liquid-crystal display and outputs for use with a larger monitor (including an S-video output).

Audio features also include DTS and Dolby Digital passthrough (for use with a compatible audio/video receiver and multichannel speaker system), built-in stereo speakers, and a headphone jack (headphones are not included).

A handy DC power adapter for vehicle use gives you unlimited playback on the road, and the unit's built-in rechargeable battery is good for about three hours between charges. A slim, full-function remote control further simplifies operation.

Flawless.......2007-01-05

I am quite pleased with the screen. I did have to upgrade my ATI drivers which came with my two year old Acer laptop since I couldn't get the full 1600 pixel width initially. After that, all went smoothly.

It's an awesome monitor.......2006-11-21

We bought this in August and love it. The family had previously gotten together and bought one for my in-laws who love it was well. We've seen no dead pixels, the colors are great, and so much brighter than so many we looked at. We actually had to turn down the brightness. We can't make use of the ultra high resolution, so I can't offer and details there, we need a more modern video card to do so.

Definitely one we'd by again, only not from Tiger Direct. Nasty business that.

Acceptable for a low price.......2006-10-07

I got this monitor about 3 months ago, and it doesn't have any dead pixels. The screen is bright and response time is good for my purposes (office programs).

The built-in speakers however do not perform well at all. I tried using the supplied audio cable and a higher-end one I procured myself, but could not get rid of the interference.

Also, and this is my biggest gripe, the picture becomes unstable when the monitor is showing mostly one color, such as white or blue. It's probably not a big deal when working with software or playing games, but it does bother me when I look at the screen with no applications open (my background is plain blue).

Cannot complain... price vs. performance, this LCD is just about perfect!.......2006-08-04

I bought this monitor here a number of months back to replace my one year old 19" Sceptre LCD.Not that there was anything wrong with the 19"... I just wanted to go to a larger screen and Sceptre's performance and pricing make it ever more tempting.

Upon setting the monitor up, I was completely in awe of the crispness of the display.. so much so that I was kind of remiss in setting up my wife with the 19". ;-) There were no dead pixels (and that is true today as well), no "fuzzy" spots, no distortion lines, no ghosting of text, nothing... it was crystal clear.

The Sceptre's performance covers day to day usage easily.. but in my opinion, where it really starts to shine is when gaming. I play a few different games.. Unreal Tournament and City of Villains to give you an idea. None of these games showed any sign of ghosting or clarity degradation due to response time of the monitor (and this is with all of the graphics settings as high as they will go). The 19" I was using had no issues doing the same so I did not expect that the 20" (which has a slightly faster response time) would either. I "drive" the monitor via a GeForce 6800 Ultra with the DVI cable and run it in its native resolution. As a side note.. too often I have seen reviews on LCDs that complain about clarity when running a resolution that is not native; but that is the price you pay for running the monitor outside of its native resolution... so if you plan on running in a resolution other than 1680 x 1050 (or if your video card does not support it), then be expected to see a "sub-standard" display.

There are really only two things that I would mention that are a "pain" with this monitor. The first is the fact that the panel controls just seem awkward to use (same was true on the 19") so tweaking settings can be somewhat time consuming and frustrating. The other item is that there is no "auto adjust" button for it. I have grown accustomed to my HP 2025 monitor at work having the test pattern utility to fire up and then press the auto adjust button to reset everything. Since I am unaware if this is a standard feature of most LCDs, I'm not willing to let it affect the 5 star rating...

Overall though, I am not sure I could be happier... until next year when bonuses come out and I see a larger Sceptre monitor out there just screaming at me to buy it! :)

Excellent monitor for the price.......2006-03-20

I had a 19" LCD from HP before this, one that PCWorld rated as very good. I think this Sceptre Naga III is soooo much better than that. I prefer the tighter dot pitch of this monitor to standard 19" LCD's. It makes text look much clearer, which is my biggest complaing with 19" LCD's. By the way, I have a NVidia 7800GT, which runs this monitor at its 1680 X 1050 native resolution through a DVI cable just great.

To be honest, I haven't played any games with this thing yet, but movies look great, and I don't see any real ghosting.

In general, I'm one of those people who always find faults with things, but I love this thing, and with the rebate, it's worth every penny.
