Good Buy - Works Well
(4 out of 5) by John Wojtkielewicz on Dec 29, 2004The monitor had no bad pixels, and has a good display. It is a little bright on white pages but not offensive.
Documenttion is weak. Did have a slight problem getting it to be recognized by Windows 98 but did not need any special help to put it into service.

Excellent Buy
(5 out of 5) by IPPete on Feb 13, 2005 (VT)Works very well, I have not seen the brightness issue some reviews have mentioned, perhaps they have not installed the updated plug & play driver that comes with the device?? The instuctions for installing did not exactly match my PC but was able to work through it without a problem and the driver did make a difference.

Good no-frills, inexpensive LCD
(4 out of 5) by J. Crawford on Apr 5, 2005 (Pasadena, CA)I've had a BenQ FP731 for about six months with no problems. I bought it at about $300 and it had the best specs for the price at the time and that still seems to be the case. It is only 9 Lbs, which is good if you're travelling and it has a clean appearance and feels solid.
It works well pivoting to portrait view--if you change your video card settings or install Pivot Pro software.
There is essentially no manual, but the default settings are pretty good. I recommend it if you need to save money. IMO, high-end Sony monitors are the best, regardless of specifications, but you would spend 3 times as much as for this decent low-end monitor.

Great value for the money
(4 out of 5) by Eldho Thomas on Mar 3, 2005 (Saint Louis, MO USA)With the purchase of this monitor, I finally joined the LCD monitor club. I think it is time for everyone to join the club and what better way than with this monitor ! Great price. Great quality. Takes only a couple of minutes to set up. After the computer is switched on, it does an auto adjust and that is it.
I didn't give it 5 stars only because I didn't want to make it look like this is the best among the best. I have seen better LCD monitors than this. The images are a weeny little distorted - like letters typed using a type writer on a bad sheet of paper. This may not be the choice for someone who works on a computer 8 hrs a day. But this is the perfect choice for a home computer.

I can finally see my computer screen.
(5 out of 5) by Marie on Dec 30, 2004 (Ohio) I just received my new BenQ monitor. It is awesome. I have the standard Dell computer, and the monitor was very small.
Now, I can sit back in my chair and see the screen with no problems. It is very crisp, and clear. It is exactly what I wanted. I would recommend Amazon, and the BenQ monitor to all my closest friends.
