17 KDS Visual Sensations Flat Screen Monitor

I bought this monitor used for $50 from someone else who also bought it used, so it's been around the block a few times.I got it to replace an aged curved screen monitor a friend of mine liked to call "the first computer monitor."It wasn't really that old, but I still expected a pretty big improvement from the KDS.What I got was more like an epiphany.It was like looking at a computer screen for the first time.Suddenly, the photos I took with my crappy digital camera looked good!Everything looked good!I had to get a desktop wallpaper changer because it all looked so good I couldn't decide what I wanted to look at first!

While some of what made my eyes pop was the shock of upgrading from a dinosaur, most of the credit for my enjoyment of this monitor goes to KDS.The Visual Sensations also puts the LCD monitor I use at work to shame.The colors are vivid but true and bright without being hard on the eyes.This is a great monitor for browsing artwork, editing photography, or watching movies.Browsing artwork on this screen is so good it's almost better than making the trek to a gallery to see it in person.

The on-screen controls were easy to figure out and use without a manual. The monitor looks nice on my desk.My friends don't make fun of me for having an ugly old monitor anymore.What more could I want?If they could make it weigh half as much I'd probably be in love.But how often do you really have to lift your monitor anyway?
