Mark, Carrickfergus , “This is irrelevant”

Score 7.0/10

+ Very easy to install and set up, compact product

- The cable between the hard drive and monitor was difficult to connect - I'm not sure if it is faulty as I could only get one of the screws to fit correctly into the back of the monitor

Score 9.0/10

+ Reviewer left no comment

- The stand should be more flexible because the screen would tilt downwards if I didn't fit the stand the incorrect way round.

Product Features

Screen Size in Inches	17
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
Response Time in ms	8
Contrast Ratio (X:1)	2000
This figure is designed to tell you how much difference there is between dark and light colours on the TV. It is quoted as a ratio, between the brightest white and the darkest black. 500:1 means the brightest white is 500 times more bright than the darkest black. Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.
Brightness in Candela per square metre	250
Brighter TVs, such as LCDs, tend to provide a better experience in lighter rooms, whereas TVs with a lower brightness, such as many plasma TVs, are often better suited to darker rooms.
DVI Port	No
DVI stands for Digital Visual Interface. Like VGA, DVI is used to connect laptops, desktops and other devices to HD TVs or monitors. You can buy a small adaptor to convert your digital DVI socket to an analogue VGA socket for use with older monitors if needed.
Type of Screen	LCD
Most small flatscreen TVs have LCD screens. Some larger TVs have plasma screens. Some very new TVs have LED screens. Traditional TVs are called Standard or CRT.
Screen Format	16:10
This is a ratio of the horizontal to the vertical size of the screen. 16:9 is standard widescreen format for TVs, replacing the older 4:3 format.
Integrated Camera	No
