    nice little review.

    FYI I think youll find that the more pronounced atifacts in images is related to the dot pitch of the LCD.

    Nice read there, but I used Microtek LCD's before and I think they are crap. They are just very cheap and the image is subpar compared to similar models.

    Believe it or not, how much one spends no an LCD doesn't necessarily = better quality. In my office, we bought about 14 of the NEC 20" LCD's (when they were 8k a pop) and every single one of them was garbage. The image was so grainy that it really wasn't good for anything other than basic duties from afar. I was pretty shocked by that.

    My school purchased this LCD from Wal-Mart for testing purposes. I was very unimpressed by it.

    just curious. why do u people say the microtek sucks.

    I never saw a more expensive LCD in action so I don't know but the microtek is pretty good for what I do. and that's what I tell people.

    but I don't want to misslead them if the monitor is crap.

    it's $398 and it's 18"

    the only down side I see is the lack of DVI connection and the 30ms response time.

    2 months ago I almost bought a 17" LCD for $500 and I thought that was cheap.
