Pros: Affordable, Long lasting, Not so heavy

The Bottom Line: Don't bother getting this monitor unless you are color blind! Besides, it's extremely old - and there are tons of better monitors out there.

| usakochan's Full Review: Mag Innovision InnoVision DJ 530 CRT Monitor |
First of all, let me tell you how horrible the color is on this monitor. MAG doesn't even place this horrid monitor on its site anymore, nor gives any upgradeable drivers to correct problems anymore. For 5 years I have put up with it. I don't know how. Probably because I couldn't afford a new and better monitor until now.. The gray appears as brown, and blue appears a turquoise. The monitor is very dim as thought I set the brightness to 40%. And this is not a recent problem. Please keep in mind that it's been like this for the past 5 years!! It's not something that degraded over time. I have been using the same monitor for the past 5 years.
My brother who bought his monitor at the same time as he bought mine prooved that there was a problem. He owns an Optiquest/Viewsonic monitor (I don't recall the which model) and surfing the net on that monitor made me open my eyes. I actually thought that my monitor's colors were displaying correctly until I used his computer, and used other computers at school. Can you believe that I put up with that for so long? Yes.. I am very patient... Why don't I get another monitor? Today I am FINALLY UPGRADING to the Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 900U! This MAG DJ530 monitor was a gift from my brother when I was still in High School. Now that I'm married, and have a very nice husband, he has decided to lift me from the horrible pain of this evil, evil monitor. (yes.. I did say evil twice! =)) So yes! Finally I can say farewell to this monitor and throw it into the nearest dumpster that I can find and set it on fire! Just kidding.. I won't do that.
