Review on πŸ–₯️ Kogi Alaska L7EH 17" LCD Monitor with High-Quality Built-in Speakers and 1280X1024 Resolution by Matt Bennett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent at a great price (after the discount).

I've owned this monitor for about 4 months and I really like it. This gave me a significant increase in viewable screen size and a lot more desk space. He's sharp and fast - I even play with him! It interpolates very well to lower resolutions than the native 1280 x 1024, has good contrast, and is nice and bright. Don't accept manufacturer claims. It doesn't have an 85Hz refresh in any mode, and a few useful modes work in everything but 60Hz. But that shouldn't be a problem, as LCD monitors don't flicker like standard CRTs. Installation on Windows was easy as it is a plug and play monitor. My only complaint is that it sometimes flashes white on the screen for a brief second. I'm not sure if it's the monitor (I've tried 2 with the same results) or the combination of the monitor and my GForce 4 TI4400 graphics card. I haven't tried the built-in speakers, so I can't judge their performance. I recommend it to anyone who needs extra desk space and a bigger monitor.

Pros
  • LCD
Cons
  • Bad brightness
