4.0 out of 5 stars Works fine - great price, July 25, 2003

By A Customer

Fine basic monitor. Does a good job displaying text, graphics, pics, movies, etc. No doubt lots of higher resolution/more stylish monitors out there but at no where near the price. The law of diminishing returns kicks in pretty quickly for me with a commodity like a computer monitor.

I've had a CTX VL-700 since 1998 with no problems at all, so I personally have had good experience with the brand.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as advertised!, December 2, 2003

If you are considering the CTX VL700, you should know that this CRT is NOT a true "flat screen" monitor as it is claimed to be. The screen is convex! True, it is probably not as "bug-eyed" as some older CRT's, but it is definitely not flat. I'm trying to set up a dual-monitor system with my current flat-screen CRT and was hoping this model would be the perfect match. However, I find the difference between the two side-by-side monitors to be too unsettling to the eye. I'm returning the CTX VL700.

To be fair, the display is quite nice--good contrast, vivid color, sharp text and images. (That's why I'm rating it with three stars.) And the price is pretty good, too. It's just not what I wanted, and I think the manufacturer and Amazon are misleading the public into believing it is a flat-screen monitor.

Caveat emptor!

and there is nothing so great about monitors other than what they are designed to do. unless you have a TFT or somehting, any monitor you get is gonna do its job. there isnt any problems with this one, its just a monitor and it does its job great. as long as i can see the pictures and text, then im happy, after all what else can you expect? its a [inexpensive] flat screen monitor and i recomend it to anyone who wants to spend less on a flat screen monitor.
