Not a bad monitor at all!
(4 out of 5) by taco*boy on May 12, 2005 (Clinton, CT)When I first got this monitor I thought the quality was so-so especially when it came to the fonts. Image quality was pretty good but the fact that the fonts were fuzzy really kind of bothered me. I decided to download a utility for my video card that allowed me to make adjustments to gamma and screen resolution. After I made some adjustments to fonts in Windows display properties, I then set my screen resolution to 1280 x 1024 through the utility (not Windows). Once I did that the fonts now look perfect! My Windows screen resolution also says 1280 x 1024 but for some reason setting it through the utility made all the difference. I would suggest that anyone who buys this monitor download the latest driver and utilities for their particular video card and play with sreen resolutions, font sizes and font shadows to obtain the best possible looking fonts.
As for the speakers, well, if you don't already have some they will be adequate until you do. I had speakers already and while it would have been nice to remove them from the desk top, they stayed as the quality just isn't there for the built-in speakers.
We didn't attach the accessory holders on the sides of the monitor - looks too ugly IMHO. Glad they're not built-in.
One more thing - there is a utility included with the CD that allows you to rotate the screen image and then you can rotate the whole monitor screen to view everything in a portrait mode. I kind of liked it that way because you don't need to scroll as much but my wife disagreed. All a matter of preference.
Overall a very good monitor for the money.

Portrait is better than landscape for web surfing
(5 out of 5) by O'MacFarlane on Dec 4, 2005 (Hayward, California USA)Once you've seen the Yahoo page fit onto your screen all at once, you'll never want to go back to the normal landscape mode again.
I cannot emphasize enough how great this monitor is for web surfing and word processing because it pivots 90 degrees so you can see the whole thing at once. Pivoted, it's almost as wide as a 17 inch monitor, and yet so wonderfully deep.
Sure, it puts the speakers both on the left when you pivot it, but who cares? I don't use those speakers for listening to music, and the computer's also plugged into the stereo in case I do want to listen to music. It clears a lot of desk space. Once the old monitor and speakers were gone, there was space for a scanner on the desktop.

Jim's Envision Monitor Review
(5 out of 5) by James B. Evans on Jul 19, 2008 (Bridgewater, CT)This monitor is great. However, I had to return the original one because it wouldn't work properly. Amazon handled this replacement very nicely, with no cost to me and minimal delay (I got a new one before I had to return the faulty one). The replacement has worked flawlessly, and I really like it's features.
