great value

had been looking for an older monitor that could display 640 by 480 hdmi does not understand this resolution, i came across this 17inch it has both vga and hdmi, it came well packaged, very easy to setup and has very good picture quality, if your looking for a test monitor for older computers or just to play retro games, this is worth every penny, a recommended buy as far as im concerned.

I didn't like this monitor, the colour were OK but the viewing angles were not great. When viewed from the side or top/bottom the image looks washed out. I think this is typical for a TN panel, which is mentioned as the panel used in the listing, but you have to see it to understand what that means. If you're stationary and right in front of the screen it will probably be OK. It works fine for the price otherwise.

Great little monitor and good for the money. Works well on an Archimedes A3010 and supports 15.6 KHz over VGA. The image is crystal clear, and no bad pixels. Happy days.

Not bad but the screen is dim and it died after 18 months.

Amazing for the price, good picture, the build quality is adequate if a little lightweight. Perfect for 4:3 retrogames! Happy to recommend this.

It's fairly cheap. So you have to temper your expectations with that in mind. It also feels very cheap and un-refined plastics, etc. The manual says it's supplied via a 12V AC/DC wall brick... and there is a DC socket on it, but it's also got a permanently wired 240V UK AC mains lead which was a surprise. It's not a great panel - poor viewing angles and has to be tilted backward (it does tilt, a bit, and has VESA mounts) for best colour reproduction. The menu system is accessed via 4 crude buttons on the rear of the monitor, which is very fiddly. There are the 'usual' set of controls for adjustment EXCEPT FOR size, which is really rather disappointing. "Auto adjust" does a reasonable job, but includes the entire screen border, so when using with 'retro' machines at 15kHz, the actual image area is quite small in the centre of the screen, with huuuge borders around, and no way to adjust them. The manual doesn't mention 15kHz compatibility (heck, the manual thinks it's a widescreen...). All that said, there aren't many new monitors that support 15kHz these days so fair enough.

This is a superb monitor. Especially for the price It doesn't say it does but it appears to support 15khz so many old retro computers can be connected directly to the VGA port. My BBC micro's work beautifully with it. But having a VGA and hdmi port as well means any of the normal adaptors will also work. It's not quite 4:3 but it is very close, and much better than a 16:9 screen
