Hi all ,

As my monitor is on it's last legs I'm going to purchase a new one , when
today I have seen advertised a 19" Medion Professsional Col. Monitor @ �120
(new).

Does anyone have any experience (good or Bad )of this company or their
products as I have never heard of them ?

 TIA for any help

Glenn

A �120 19" may well be very irritating to use, possibly causing eye strain
after prolonged use.
Chances are it will have a low refresh rate, susbstandard geometry, bad
regulation, poor focus, the list goes on.
IMHO it would be better to spend the same sum on a better quality 17" model.

Or it could be an excellent monitor at a low price!
I had a CDRW of theirs which developed a fault phoned them up then sent it
back to be tested/repaired,2 days later a brand new one arrived in the post!

If you want the best out of your purchase you should consider an Aperture
Grille monitor (Trinitron/Diamondtron) which is far superior to shadow mask.

At a price like �120 for 19" the components (tube etc) used are probably the
cheapest available and I'd be surprised if it lasted two years.

Remember: you get what you pay for.

Well I had to pay �3,300 for a 486 back in 1994 and had to pay extra
to get the SVGA monitor I thought I had ordered in the first place,
so �120 for a monitor that will last three years sounds OK to me.
