Default Hannspree Monitor

I am working on creating a work station that has extra of what I need. Recently bought a Hannspree 20" monitor mainly because the price was right. It has speakers in the monitor. I am becoming more and more picky about what I want around me. Doesn't have to be expensive just functional Had never heard of Hannspree and when I got it home nothing wrong with the monitor but specs were only for Windows 7 which fortunately I have one Windows 7 OS and just had to do some switching. Now I have 2 extra monitors, several optical mice (no other way to go as far as I am concerned) and extra keyboards. Two keyboards have round PS/2 connects and thought might be a problem until I discovered they made and adapter. So just passing that information on to whomever.

I recently just got two of those adapters myself.
I've never heard of that brand, either.
I agree with you on the affordable-but-functional issue.
In my man cave/work station/office here at the house I wanted to not only have a decent computer monitor, but I also wanted to watch TV and an occasional DVD.
I got a small Emerson HD TV with a built in DVD player. It serves as TV2 off of our DISH receiver, and it also serves as a computer monitor.
Most modern HD TVs have a VGA connection in the back.

Never used one myself but seen a lot of good reviews of Hannspree monitors.

Hannspree is a cheaper value line of a LCD's. They provide decent product and save money on the support end a little bit.(Where some companies offer you crap product and excellent support)

Good monitor that will have to have something like 20% dead pixels to qualify for replacement.

Is the short version.

Samsung repaired my 3 yr warranty 225bw after I told them I bought it off a drunk for his beer money, they told me he never registered it so they registered it from that day and now its good for 3 more years :P

Hows that for awesome support.

They also repaired another monitor for me for free.
