KDS Visual Sensations 195 CRT Monitor

Pros: Unbelievably low price, Excellent Quality, Doesn't Take Up Too Much Table Space.
Cons: None other than having to lug up 47 lbs into your house.

I never heard of or seen a KDS monitor until I went shopping at Costco. At work I am using a Sony 17" Trinitron and at home, my 15" Mega Image had died about 2 months ago. I had to pull out my Daewoo 14" and was dying to get a new monitor that was...

Pros: Large screen makes it easy on the eyes, easy digital controls, clean look.
Cons: 800x600 or 1280x1024 seem too small or too large on this monitor.

The KDS Visual Sensations 195 is outstanding for the $200 that my dad paid for it. Previously there was only a 15 inch monitor in my bedroom at my dad's house. My dad would burn a lot of CDs in this bedroom and he probably thought that it would be nice...

Pros: Fills your field of view, perfect for DVD roms and video, nice picture.
Cons: None to mention.

Just like one of the local electronics companies in my home town advertises, I have decided to title my review that way, and rightfully so. This monitor is huge and a big difference from my little 12 incher that I had before it. When I use computers at...

Pros: good for 18 month
Cons: poor quality components, the tube crushed after a year and a half, stupid customer service

This review deals with another model of KDS monitor namely KD-4520 which is a 14" UVGA Color monitor. I didn't request to add this product to Epinion site because it is outdated. Still I have a few remarks about the quality of this line of products...

Pros: Great quality for a low, low price
Cons: Good have a better dot pitch, but thats what higher models are for.

I got this baby for $189. That for a 19 INCH MONITOR! Wow.

From a 17" Sony Trinitron to this KDS was a big change though. Luckily the screen is still fairly flat. i use a 1600x1200 resolution that my old Sony could not attain. The...

Pros: Big and cheap
Cons: None yet (As of 07/2002 still none)

I have had this monitor (VS-190i) for about one week now. So far I have yet to have any problems. The view is clear and the colors are good. The 19" 0.27mm dp (18" veiw) flat screen is an eye saver for those stuck with 15" monitors. Of course it...

Pros: Great price, great size, easy controls
Cons: so far none

I'm no expert but...

Image Quality: Great

Controls: Some of the best and easiest I've ever had to use

Desk Space: I'm not sure if they are still designed the same but the model I have (and other KDS models I've seen) all...

Pros: Low price, high refresh rates & resolutions
Cons: Takes up a fair amount of desk space

I've been using this monitor for about 10 hours every day since February 1999 and am very happy with it. I use it mainly for desktop publishing, Netscape, and games on the weekend (Quake III, Tribes, etc.) My previous monitor was a dinky 14" which had ...

Pros: Clear and sharp images, vivid color
Cons: Heavy to carry

I recently got the opportunity to use this monitor while I was at work. At first glimpse I was impressed by the simple menu buttons which made setting up the monitor a breeze. The monitor's view screen was designed with a very smooth and contoured...

Pros: Good Price, Good Color, Good Resolution
Cons: Clunky OSD Control

After using one of these monitors for three months at work, I bought one for my home. Using a KVM switch, I have the VS-195 hooked up to three different desktop systems and a laptop. Each computer has a different video card, resolution and refresh rate,...

Pros: Wide screen for easy viewing
Cons: None that I have found.

When I went to buy my computer, I knew very little about what I was doing. I went shopping to all the competetors, and had a hard time comparing apples to apples.

On the advice of a friend, I went to a little independent computer shop, and...

Pros: Affordable, high quality
Cons: Weight, depth

As a computer consultant, I have the luxury of working with many different systems. When asked about buying a new system, I always encourage customers to invest in the monitor, as it is the one piece of equipment that will have the most impact on them as...

Pros: Worked great for a while, then broke.
Cons: Short life span

We had two in our office. One lasted 18 mos, the other one is going bad now at just two years. Get's a shadow effect on the screen. Hard to do CAD design with something like that. Looks like it's time to upgrade.
My Viewsonic at home gets more...

Pros: cheap and easy to use
Cons: bad quality

Let me first just clarify myself... I'm not writing a review on the VS-195, instead, I'll be writing a review on vs-190. They are both basically the same product but the VS-190 is for PCs.

The story goes something like this....
