Mag LT976 19 inch LCD Monitor


The Mag LT976 19 inch LCD monitor, is very nice indeed!
Having used the Mag LT576 15 inch LCD for quite a while and found that to be nice and crisp. As well as recently using eleven (yes 11) Mag LT776 17 inch LCD's to build a lab, I can say nothing bad about them!

They all have built in speakers, which was one reason to put them in a lab and eliminate the phenomenon of about three sets of speakers chasing you like excited puppies, at the nanosecond you realise it is about to happen, because you have swept up the speaker cables in your brisk sojourn past the desk.

The 19 inch version differs from the others in that it has more on screen display features. The menu is more involved and a handy little icon shows up each time you change resolutions showing you which feed into it, is currently used, as well as the resolution itself and the refresh rate!

The display is rock solid, with no streaks and only a minimal amount of trails during gaming. All this while attached to a KVM switch too! Nice to have that screen size with the native 1280*1024 in front of me now. I don't think I will be going back to CRT for a LONG while yet. All this started because my free Compaq MV7500 monitor (which I cannot link to, as nobody makes it anymore) began the day with a rather incontinent looking yellow stain to the whole screen. It took longer and longer to return to normal each day, and it was probably only a matter of time before it stopped working altogether.



So now I have two of these on my desk, life just keeps getting better!
