KDS Radius RAD-5 15 inch LCD Monitor

Pros: Excellent quality & price for a 15” LCD monitor.
Cons: None really, except for those inherent with all LCDs.

At my old job, a temporary desk was set up at the edge of a drafting table for a new trial employee. (Feel for the suffering of those just out of college seeking experience wherever they can.). I set up an old computer, with old peripherals for his...

Pros: Nice resolution, Eye-catchy look, Great warranty, Low Price
Cons: Blurred display and brightness with moving images

Last week one of the monitors at our office went crazy at a bad time: we were just giving the final details to some graphics that will be used on a marketing campaign for one of our clients. So, what we did exactly at eleven o’clock in the night? Yep, we...

Pros: Great display, nice styling, 3 year warranty.
Cons: None so far.

Flat panel monitors have always intrigued me with their alluring combination of small size, low power consumption, low radiation emissions and brilliantly colorful displays. But the price always seems far too much to pay. Not any more.

The...

Cons: N/A

Pros: Sleek, small package, great price.
Cons: Inconsistent image quality, clumsy controls, TERRIBLE warranty support experience.

I bought this screen because the price was right and the reviews were good. Then I bought a second one. Bad idea. Warranty replacement and support from KDS has been TERRIBLE. Two months since they billed my credit card for shipping a new one to me...

Pros: Great color and super sharp. Light weight and as thin as they come.
Cons: Must download driver from KDS web site. No warning in instruction book.

After I noticed that my computer table was starting to bend from the weight of my old and heavy IBM 17" monitor, I decided it was time to price the new super-thin flat screen LCD displays.

I visiting Best Buy, BJ's, CompUSA, and COSTCO without...

Pros: Flat, full 15 inche viewing area, bright, crisp, vivid color, requires little desk real estate.
Cons: None at present.

I was not in the market to purchase a new monitor traditional or flat panel. Although I have been checking out the pricing and special features on several models.

I have two 15 inch traditional KDS monitors now. One is almost ten years...

Pros: Sharp imagery, Good customer support. Very good price/value.
Cons: Driver not included with monitor. Must download, or use Windows generic.

While I think most flat panel monitors are still somewhat overpriced, I checked around and believe the KDS RAD-5 represents the best value for around $300 now. I ordered my new RAD-5 from an EBAY merchant with the "Buy It Now" option at $295 plus $20...

Pros: display produces sharp and colorful images
Cons: control buttons are awkwardly placed

I found no problems with this monitor, including the price. Rad costs $399. It delivers very good performance and offers several features. The company also provides a mouse at no extra charge.

At a cost of $399 one would think that the...

Pros: Sleek, lightweight, space saver, not too expensive
Cons: Text and images blurry, colors and whites are dingy and yellow--not recommended

I did a ton of on-line research before I bought this monitor. I was upgrading from my laptop to a more powerful desktop and liked LCD screens, so I decided to stick with them when it came time to finding a monitor.

I eventually settled on the...

Pros: Excellent color and clarity. Great overall value
Cons: Size does matter!

Alright, I admit it...I was simply tired of my old 17" Acer monitor. After all, I had the monitor for years and all I needed was the occasional failing of the monitor to make me purchase a new one. After some homework, I chose the KDS Rad 5x. The...

Pros: Cheap FlatPanel, nice design, decent performance
Cons: button placement, kind of low contrast ratio (300:1)

Flat panel LCDs. they were the must-have geek accessory of 2002. I admit it, i had to get one too!

I checked around and after seeing the crazy high prices for a 15in LCD, i decided to go with the RAD-5. It was decently priced ($320 on ebay...

Pros: Price, bright and contrasty display, easy setup, great warranty and free wheel mouse.
Cons: Somewhat basic features

After checking out many 15" LCD monitors I found that the KDS RAD-5 was a real value. The screen image when compared at the same time to similarly priced ViewSonic, Samsung, Sys, and Philips models was much brighter and had better contrast. The features...

Pros: Sharp, bright, vibrant and INEXPENSIVE!
Cons: None.

I've been wanting an flat-screen LCD ever since they first came out, but they've always been above my price point. This was before I was in Sam's Club in Los Angeles and I wandered by the KDS Rad-5 for $399! I had read stellar reviews on it on cnet, but...

Pros: Sleek n Sexy,Exceptional Price, Amazing Colours,Ease of use,Space Saving,Value for $$
Cons: Read this review before you jump in for buying it............

KDS Rad-5 is the hottest monitor's I've seen so far and it's the only one I'd be caught recommending.
Of some 14 different flatscreens available out there in the market today from companies that range from well reputed to vaguely heard of, KDS Rad-5...
