Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Looking for a 15-inch multimedia monitor that delivers high performance, reliability, and great sound? The Compaq Presario MV540 with detachable monitor-powered JBL speakers is designed to offer crisp sound and the convenience of a digital audio player within a flat-square CRT system. Plus it includes an integrated microphone that incorporates built-in, high-quality voice recognition and easy-to-use onscreen menus for precise control of the digital display.

The Presario MV540 has a resolution of 1,024 x 768 at a refresh rate of 60 Hz (lower resolutions offer higher refresh rates). The small size of the pixels, 0.28-millimeter AG (aperture grille) pitch, provides fine detail. The flat-square, polished monitor has 13.8 inches of viewable image area and antireflective, antiglare glass that ensures accuracy of display images and reduces eyestrain. The MV540's onscreen controls let you adjust brightness, contrast, degauss, horizontal and vertical size and position, parallelogram, trapezoid, and more. An illuminated push-button on/off control allows you to check the status of the unit, even in the dark.

The sound system consists of a built-in audio amplifier, 3-pound stereo speakers with 3 watts RMS per channel, a headset connection, an integrated microphone, and an audio port. You can plug in your digital audio player and listen without starting your PC.

The MV540 is designed for business and home applications where multimedia features are essential. It integrates energy-saving benefits, plug-and-play installation, and a digital sound system in a compact 16-by-15-by-16-inch design weighing 29 pounds. It is covered by Compaq's limited one-year warranty on parts and labor, and if needed, Compaq Express Service offers 48-hour replacement with a refurbished Compaq monitor.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother getting this, November 19, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Compaq Presario MV540 Multimedia 15" CRT Monitor (Electronics)
We had purchased this monitor brandnew at our PX. It seemed to look nice and I thought it would be nice to have a smaller more spacesaving monitor. Well little did I know that a common problem of 15 inch monitors or maybe just this one is, that it has difficulty displaying anything higher then 640x480. As soon as we changed it to 800x600 it would start humming and it had this high pitch noise. Needless to say that is quite useless for internet surfing and any software. We exchanged it for a Compaq FS740 and are very happy now!

1.0 out of 5 stars Possible Fire Hazard, January 18, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Compaq Presario MV540 Multimedia 15" CRT Monitor (Electronics)
I had this monitor and it started to make a loud noise one night and I could smell a strong odor of copper wire burning eminating from it. The screen was black on the sides and white down the middle. When I hit the mouse to clear the screen and it started to make a shrill sound and I just pulled the plug. I had this for less than a year. If your kids have this in their room please take care. I'm the only one that used this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Compaq Product, May 10, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Compaq Presario MV540 Multimedia 15" CRT Monitor (Electronics)
This monitor is everything I expected from a Compaq product. Excellent picture quality and sound. I have never found another manufacturer who can match Compaq for sound quality. Another nice feature of Compaq monitors are the microphones that are built into the monitor, so there is no need to buy a desk-cluttering external. The microphone also works great with voice recognition software. This monitor replaced a Compaq Presario 1410 monitor that I have used for the last six years (still has better sound and picture than most new monitors, just figured it was time to update!).
