🖥️ Kogi Alaska L7EH 17" LCD Monitor with High-Quality Built-in Speakers and 1280X1024 Resolution Review

This monitor is a good buy and I picked it up this weekend. This monitor does not have software drivers like expensive monitors, which allow access to special video modes and further clean up the image on the screen. It uses the basic drivers included in the operating system. When I first plugged it in, the picture was really blurry and I had my doubts. When I changed the resolution to the maximum screen size, the monitor immediately cleared. After that, I can now resize the screen with very…

I bought this display to complement my Powerbook G4 and love the fact that I can split my work between two monitors. Therefore, I mainly compare my evaluation of the display with the display and the speakers of the Powerbook. At first, this display did not provide a clear picture. However, after about 10 minutes, the pixel rate, horizontal position, and phase settings were much better. These settings control how image pixels align with physical pixels on the display. While it still doesn't…

I was in dire need of a monitor and decided on an LCD display to save space on my desk. After looking at different LCD sizes I figured I could live with a 17 inch LCD. My buying criteria was that the 17" LCD was under [.]. I banged on it. The monitor was easy to set up and had no dead pixels. The size is great and the speakers were an added bonus, although they sound pretty weak So why am I only giving this LCD 3 stars Honestly the resolution is pretty coarse Small fine text is hard to read and

I bought my L7EH monitor from COMPUSA. When I first plugged it in there were 3 dead pixels (below the RMA number). It wasn't as bright as the CRT I replaced, but we got used to it quickly. Last week the monitor started turning off about 30 seconds after the PC booted up. Each time I had to turn it off and on again. This still only works for about 30 seconds. I put the CRT back in and everything was fine. I tried a flat screen on another PC and the same thing happens. I called KOGi support and…

The first one I came across had a dead pixel. I immediately sent it back to CompUSA and got a new one which has been working great ever since - 2+ years with my KVM switch. I've only had a few problems with it: 1) When I switch computers on my KVM switch, I sometimes get a blurry screen and I have to auto-configure the display again in the setup menu (forgot the right word). 2) It doesn't work well with text modes, they get truncated. I called them and they said they don't support text modes…

I've had the black version of this monitor for about a month and I can safely say that I made a very wise decision in purchasing it. I did a lot of research before buying and was a little put off by the brand name (I had never heard of Kogi), but my doubts were unfounded. You open the box, connect it to your computer and you're done. There's an auto-adjust feature that offers the best color and clarity settings, and after I set the text to True Type on my computer, the text is as sharp as the…

I have one of those Kogi monitors. It's a nice size and I love the fact that it has built in speakers. I don't listen to music on my computer so I don't need the best speakers and they are great for what I need. The less clutter on my desk, the better. My problems started when I upgraded my system from XP to Vista. The computer did not start. This was also a problem on my Linux system. I realized it was the monitor, turned off the monitor and everything was fine. I haven't used this monitor for

My name sums it up, this 17" LCD monitor from Kogi, a small company with offices in California and Taiwan. Although not branded, the quality of the monitor is commendable, with a bright screen and no dead pixels on the three devices I received. (Dead pixels are dots that only show one color at a time, usually red. You can see them if you set your screensaver to blank, so you see those red or blue dots on a dark background. Very rarely they can be white. .) You get a true 17" viewing area…

Well, the woman did her best for Father's Day. I had some free time this morning at 1am and unwrapped my new Father's Day gift L7EH. I got scared of the nameless monitor and only found reviews about it here. I read them all and took a chance and opened the box. I hooked everything up and ran a dual boot with Win2K Redhat 9. Funny, no signal and the monitor doesn't seem to wake up. I pressed the power button and restarted it. Okay, why don't I finish the download? Why is my computer beeping…

I bought a 17" Kogi LCD in January 2003. He was great while he worked, but he passed away in December 2005. Thanks for attention.

1) When you first bought a NEW L7eh, there were 2 dead pixels. sent it back to Best Buy for another try. I later realized that Best Buy put it back on the shelf in the box. February 3, 2003.2) Exchanged the monitor for another NEW one. This had an issue where a vertical, dotted (sometimes solid) white line was displayed in applications when using 1024x768 resolution - even in MS Word (you could see if in the column where the line displayed, black text was present). Tried different settings for…

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…

When I first connected the LCD I noticed that there were 3 dead pixels. The screen was very bright and it took me a while to get used to it once I set the color I wanted. If you only need an LCD display for text and web surfing, a 350:1 screen is the right choice. But for graphics and video editing, you don't need to bother with it. Choose Viewsonic or Samsung.

I just got my first LCD screen and for [money] (after discounts) this is THE BEST DEAL AROUND! I was a bit worried because I hadn't shopped much (very little information available online on screen) but decided to do it after watching the "LIVE" at my local COMPUSA store (btw it was for [ money] plus taxes after rebates (I was just attracted to the Revain benefit with no taxes and free shipping.) I received my screen in just 7 days of my order! EXCELLENT! And it's good. At this price point, but…

I never received the monitor. I never received an email either. Or anything. This person should be investigated. Worst experience I have ever had when ordering items online

After doing some pretty thorough research I came to the conclusion that this 17.1 inch LCD offers very good value for money. The image quality and clarity are fantastic and it even works well with Unreal 2003. I'm not a gamer but I'm enjoying it. occasionally. I bought mine from Best Buy last week and paid significantly less than any other 17 inch buyer on the market. I'm very happy with it but it's only been a week so we'll see. Get one!

If you're sitting here scrolling through the reviews looking for a good LCD, give this a listen. . Revain.com also has a great price. When I bought it I was skeptical. How can a low price justify a good monitor? Set up was very easy, just plug it in. It was impressive! Because I take component performance as seriously as I do, I put it through its paces to make sure it met my standards. And so it was. I use it for gaming and its crisp, rich image is very pleasing to the eye. You must get a good

I don't usually buy the cheapest I can find, but I was on a tight budget for this. I had a 19 inch CRT that was too bulky and too dark. I wanted a 17 inch LCD but didn't think I could afford it. I took a chance on this Kogi - worried after ordering that "you get what you paid for". WOW - I couldn't be happier. There were no problems, I set it up out of the box in 5 minutes. It's crystal clear, great colors, works great with text and games. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but I don't

I gave 5 stars because it does one thing very well. That said, this is the best LCD display I've ever seen. The root of that strength is also the root of his weakness. The monitor doesn't handle the color gamut well and tends to display most intermediate colors as extreme. For example, grayscale tends to appear as black, white as bright white, red as bright red, and so on. While that's bad for movies, it's the secret to this LCD's excellent text display. Text is crisp, clean, dark black and…

Bought this monitor in June. For two weeks, the screen went black after a few seconds of use. I decided to go the warranty route and not just return it to Revain. The warranty card contains incorrect contact details. After some googling I was able to find what I needed on the website. The warranty, which is only 90 DAYS, instructed me to repack the monitor box into another box. $30 shipping and 2-3 weeks later I received my refurbished monitor. So after all that, I was left with a working…
