 PC Hardware : BenQ T904 19' Flat-Panel LCD Monitor |

Rating:  - ...Wow
I recieved this monitor as a gift. I couldn't be more satisfied with it. I just love it. It has a great feature...a button that automatically adjusts the screen so that you don't have to hassle with horizontal/vertical position and size. It does that for you. I am absolutely thrilled with this monitor and it's definitely worth the money. Don't contemplate - just buy it.
Rating: - A good price for an excellent monitor
Okay, I will admit first off that I am new to LCD monitors. So if I love this monitor, it is partly because I had grown used to the relatively soft-focus images of CRTs, and now I'm absolutely delighted with the clarity of this one, no doubt due to the one-to-one mapping between pixels in the image and pixels on the screen, as long as you stay at native resolution. I'm sure I could get an absolutely crystal-clear image with a DVI signal, if only I had a video card with the capabilities. Flatness and light weight are only good things, too. For these reasons alone, I would recommend LCDs to most people who are willing to spend a little more.
However, beyond the mere fact of its being LCD, this monitor is also inexpensive. And very bright, much more so than most CRTs I've seen. For those of us using analog input, the auto-adjust feature works nicely, given an appropriate calibration pattern. Windows users can run the little program included on the CD-ROM, while we Linux users can easily create something (alternating black and white 1-pixel stripes are what you need, and for perfect positional alignment, make sure all the edges are bright). And though there are LCDs with a response faster than this one's typical 25 ms, I find it barely noticeable most of the time.
I like black. It blends nicely into the dark background at my desk. Plus, it just looks cool.
In short, if you don't mind paying a bit more, dump your CRT and get this monitor: I highly recommend it!

I saw this monitor in my local flyer for a very low price (with all the rebates and all) and decided to get two to replace my current 17" LCD + 17" CRT combo. I thought that a 25ms response time will be sufficient (my older LCD was 20ms and I had no problems with ghosting in games or anything else)...the 25 ms is horrible...I think its actually worse than that. When I opened up the task manager, the green background grid flickered every time it moved...dragging broswer windows with gray content is painful...and games, well, just forget about it. This monitor has awful ghosting. And another annoyance: in the OSD settings there is a choice between D-Sub or DVI, but the monitor doesn't have a DVI port...not impressed at all, will return these tomorrow and get something more expensive but more pleasant to look at.
Rating: - Cannot beat this for the price
Excelent monitor for the price. I purchased this as a second monitor for my home PC and was very happy with the quality and image. Originally I had planned on using this only for email and web browsing, but now may replace my Sony CRT and purchase another one of these. Bluring is pretty minimal, but the monitor does have a 25ms refresh so I would not reccomend this for a hardcore gamer.
All in all an excellent value.
