Hannspree 25" Widescreen Flat-Panel TFT-LCD HD Monitor - Black Review

Excellent Monitor, Outstanding Value

"I got this for Christmas, after picking it out in-store. I thought it looked like a lot of monitor for a low price, so I was naturally skeptical of it, and not only because I hadn't hardly heard of Hannspree. Turns out, however, that I couldn't have gotten a better deal!

Make no mistake, this is a real monster. It's massive! While that's impressive on its own, there's more to this monitor than size: It's clear, I don't have a single dead pixel, and the colors are so vibrant they sometimes hurt my eyes! Yes, you will probably have to change the presets, most notably the brightness (if you can stand to watch THIS thing at 100% brightness, you should be a solar physicist), the contrast, and especially, the mode (it comes preset in TV mode, not PC, though that's easy enough to fix). I watched a 1080p BluRay movie yesterday, and it performed perfectly on this monitor, with no blurring or square pixels like you find on lesser ones. This is one superb bit of hardware!

I concur with other reviewers about the wobbly little stand -- it's AWFUL! It's like putting a watermelon on a toothpick! This does have wall mounts, which would certainly solve the problem, but nonetheless, I can't believe anyone would put out such a large, heavy monitor and then give you a milk jug for a stand, it's just silly. It's this monitor's one glaring deficiency, in my opinion.

Overall, I'd say this is the best one of these things I've ever had, and that's saying a lot as my last monitor was a workhorse Acer, which I THOUGHT was the best. Hannspree (and its sister brand, Hanns-G) will make a lot of money if they just keep doing what they're doing!"
