Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The 3G Technology GM-1556 Gem 15-inch monitor is a solid value, with a straightforward set of features you'll actually use and enjoy. Installation is as simple as it should be for an entry-level unit. Slide it out of the box, connect it to your PC, and you'll be up and running in five minutes or less. The tilt/swivel base attaches to the bottom of the monitor with swift ease.
The operation is standard; you'll usually just turn it on or off. A menu button also displays onscreen controls to alter brightness or contrast. We pushed both the brightness and contrast well beyond normal values to see how the unit would perform, and we were impressed with the resulting visible range. Other menu options let you access controls for the screen's vertical and horizontal position and size, as well as correct any geometric or color distortion. A recall button allows you to return quickly to the company's default settings, which we found were actually the best settings for regular usage.
The operating manual is concise. Simple line drawings illustrate monitor controls and functions. Its easy-to-read chart format should help you resolve the most common predicaments. --David Greenberger
Pros:
- Economical
- Simple and sturdy
- Quick and easy setup
Cons:
- 15-inch size may be inadequate for some users

1.0 out of 5 stars
no name product provides no name performance,
By kate Ellison (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 3G Technology GM-1556 Gem 15" Monitor (Electronics)
Sometimes it realy doesn't matter if you buy a famous brand VS a generic. For example, canned peaches at the market. There isn't much difference between one brand and the next. But, my expaerience in buying computer monitors, specifically "Gem" and "3G" has taught me that the lower price also means lower quality, poor support and an over all lower value. I ended up having to return several units, and wasting much of my valuble time. In the end, I went ahead and bought a major brand and have been much happier.
