Summary: Good monitor for everyday, normal use.
Review: I got this monitor with a Compaq computer that I bought and it hasn't given me any problems since I got it. It's a flat screen with 2 small slits on both sides to slide the speakers in if you want them on the sides of the monitor. If you don't have the speakers or if you don't want to connect them to the monitor directly, that is no problem because the slits are barely visible and do not stick out. The monitor doesn't take much room and fits snugly on my desk. I don't ever have to turn it off because like most monitors, it automatically goes on standby when the computer is off or in sleep mode and it turns back on when the computer turns back on. All in all this is a good, reliable monitor.

Summary: Great monitor!
Review: I paid ... when I bought this monitor last year. But I've been using it for over a year now and it's wonderful. With anti-glare screen, I get excellent pictures everytime. The images are sharp and clear, and with Compaq's Coloreal technology you can enjoy true-to-life images on its 16.0 VIA. For a 2-piece stereo speaker system, the JBL Platinum is excellent, too. You can connect headphones directly to the speakers. The Digital Audio Player port lets you use the speakers as output for your mp3 player without switching on the computer. This is definitely one of the best flat screen monitor around. If you don't want this, get a flat panel display.

Review: Purchased this monitor as part of a bundle with an Emachines system @ Circuit City. The monitor has a great picture and comes with JBL Platinum Speakers and built in microphone. While I'm not a fan of built in mic's this one works OK. The speakers are powered and need to be manually turned on and off via the volume control. They can be hung on the side of the monitor or they also can be put on the desktop with supplied stands. They sound pretty good but sound distorted at higher levels. They are a huge step up from the supplied e-machines speakers that came with the CPU though. Controls are easy to use and all cables and such are provided. ...

Review: This monitor was included with a Compaq computer that I bought and it hasn't given me any problems since. It's a flat screen (different from LCD) with 2 small slits on both sides to slide the speakers in to hang on the sides of the monitor. If you don't have the speakers or if you don't want to connect them to the monitor directly, that is no problem because the slits are barely visible and do not stick out.
