    Lucoms monitor

    Right, decided that I don't really need a widescreen job (I have a 17" second monitor) so decided to get a 19" one (I prefer the pixel size - it's me age!).

    This looks good, although I can't find any reviews on it:

    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=394488

    any experience of it from anyone, please?

    BTW, did find one site that said Scan had a zero dead pixel policy on this monitor!

    Thanks,

    Peter.

    Re: Lucoms monitor

    I cannot find any reviews of it

    The first line of the blurb is a clue to it
    Lucoms is the Hi-End Brand of Daewoo

    I found the scan dead pixel policy which is good, although that said dead pixels are very rare on the smaller tft's these days (under 20")

    The 700:1 contrast isn't great but for that price more than livable

    EDIT: one you might to consider is the LG 1919S, Scan haven't got it and ebuyer are sold out Amazon have got it but at £149.30
    Might want to consider the LG L1900R @ £163 from scan as well.

    Re: Lucoms monitor

    I have 17" model of the Lucoms. It's a nice model with a rotational feature. The base is metal so it heacy and sturdy. Theres also a button where you can switch easily between analogue and digital connections.

    It's quite a bright monitor but the backlight is een throughout. The only problem I know is that blacks are not 'pitch black', which I learnt is how tfts are in the dark (having switched over from a Trinitron tft and only use tfts in offices with lots of lighting.) I was well peeved off with this monitor at the start but after some adjustments I found it's a great unit.

    Mine had one stuck pixel but it is not noticable. I can only see it if I run the monitor calibration tool.
    I found the buttons not so good to press and menu not the bst but functional.

    Yes, I used various terms in searching; even found the manufacturer's site.

    I found the scan dead pixel policy which is good, although that said dead pixels are very rare on the smaller tft's these days (under 20")
    That policy seems to be general, not specific to this monitor.

    The 700:1 contrast isn't great but for that price more than livable
    Better than my present one!

    EDIT: one you might to consider is the LG 1919S, Scan haven't got it and ebuyer are sold out Amazon have got it but at £149.30
    Might want to consider the LG L1900R @ £163 from scan as well.

    Thanks for the links.
    The first one hasn't DVI; the second has no speakers.

    I was interested in a Viewsonic, but the 3-year warranty is return to base.

    My current one has some streak going across it and, when warmed up, a column of small bright 'bubbles' up the LHS (opening a Command window and moving it around is a simple way of seeing some faults).

    No experience of the widescreen, but gf has a Lucoms normal ratio 17" and it's faboulous. Better quality than my LG-samsung unit.
