I was skeptical when I started to consider buying this monitor. Who has ever heard of Cornea Systems, and why is this monitor so inexpensive? Well, I did my research and was quite surprised! This monitor received great reviews on other web sites as well as here at Amazon. Based on the reviews and the price, I went ahead and bought it.

I've had it for two weeks and I will never go back to a CRT. This monitor has a bright and beautiful picture. There were no dead pixels. Setup was very easy. I now have so much extra space on my desk!

In the reviews this monitor was reported to pass the Nokia screen test. This is a series of benchmark tests measuring monitor performance and capabilities. Since I do some gaming online, this fact was important to me. I can play Battlefield 1942 with no problems. In addition, I don't get a headache looking at this monitor as I sometimes did looking at a CRT.

If you are considering this monitor, Amazon is a great place in my opinion to get it. If you don't like it you have 30 days to return it. This thing is so light weight that Amazon's 2-day air shipping cost less than the sales tax I would have had to pay buying it offline. The monitor has a great 3-year warranty too. Go Cornea!

After considerable research comparing LCD monitor specs and trying out a couple of monitors, Samsung and MAG,I went with this Cornea MP704. The other reviewers who rated this monitor were right on the money, this is an exceptional value. Setup was easy and the picture quality is great. If you are looking for a LCD monitor with great specs, reasonable price and without extra features like speakers... this Cornea is definitely worth a look. Get a good video card which makes a big difference in display quality.One other observation, the monitor was made in Korea, so I would bet it is made at the same factory as Samsung LCD monitors.

It's true: you get what you pay for. I was very excited to find a 17-inch LCD selling for [$] (after rebate), but the picture turned out to be atrocious. I tried it with two different machines running different video cards, so that wasn't the problem. I then set up a ViewSonic LCD I happened to have on hand and it looked dramatically sharper. Based on the other reviews here, I suppose I could have gotten a bad unit. But I have to advise anyone who does a lot of word processing or Web browsing to steer clear of this monitor. It's really hard on the eyes. NOTE: Huge kudos to Amazon.com, which not only shipped the monitor here for free, but provided a prepaid UPS label when I decided to return it. That's incredible service.

Beware of planted reviews by this shady company! Go to any CompUSA store and check out their Cornea monitors on display. I've been to three stores and found all the demo units extremely fuzzy to the extend of being unreadable. The salesmen then steered me to other brands. So before you go for an off brand like this, check it out in person first. All the reviews here sound suspiciously rosy for a terrible brand like this.

This LCD monitor is GREAT!!!! Just swapped out from a 19" CRT for this 17" LCD.. and its a welcomed improvement. Its practically the same screen real estate, but 1/10th of the desktop real estate compared to my older 19" CRT occupied. It sure is nice to have my desk back now. Its hard to find a 17" with 500:1 ratio @ this price point... go ahead keep looking.... you'll end up coming back OR spending ... more. :-)
