| no_email's Full Review: ADI Corporation ProVista E66 (White) 19" CRT Monit... |
I was looking for a new monitor to go with my G4 and found this.
The main reason I picked this one is the price: a 19" for under $350!
(See below for ordering notes)
My first disappointment was the screen. They call it a "flat square", but it's rounder than Santa's belly.
The second is that by default, the screen has a yellow tint. I've calibrated it to where it's not as bad, but it was still an annoyance.
But on the good side, I liked a few things:
It's HUGE! The visible area is 18" (?) and the monitor supports many different resolutions.
Colorsync automatically changed it's profile to the new monitor.
It actually goes to sleep when the computer tells it.
P.S. I think I should have ordered it from Onvia instead of Buy.com.
I went with Buy.com because they have a low price guarantee, they were offering free shipping and I had a coupon code # to get $15 off.
Problems:
The free shipping didn't apply because the monitor was over 20lbs.
(I didn't read the fine print, OK?)
Since I used a coupon, I couldn't ask for a price match.
(Note: you only have 3 days to apply and there are a lot of restrictions!)
