The Dell UltraSharp 1800FP was designed for a wide variety of users ranging from the home to corporate or financial trading environments. It utilizes an 18.1" Active Matrix TFT LCD that displays brilliant images of text and graphics with a maximum resolution up to 1280 x 1024 pixels. This monitor has a wider viewing angle, which allows users to view the screen from various positions without compromising image quality. The higher contrast ratio generates sharper, crisper lines and images. Fast response times provide superior clarity for moving images with "no ghosting". Premium brightness allows for brilliant images with blacker blacks and richer colors. This display is optimal for desktop publishing, spreadsheets, multimedia, and other applications that demand large screen size and high resolution.

The answer for the computer addict with a budget

13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Crisp and clear, simple and space-saving design
Cons SLIGHT ghosting in games, if any at all
Recommended it? Yes

I must confess that I spend much more time staring at the computer screen every day than I should. After staring at a CRT (a poor one, at that) for extended periods of time, I would begin to feel a slight strain on my eyes. When it came time to purchase a new computer, I decided to go with a...

Pros Very clear, large, and stylish. Easy on the eyes.
Cons Expensive.
Recommended it? Yes

Just like many people in the world today, I am an avid computer user. So much so that I spend most of any given day in front of a computer monitor. By spending so much time in front of a monitor, I made myself vulnerable to eye strain and other facial discomforts. Thus I was left with two choices,... Read full review »

Pros Excellent service, warranty, great image quality, well designed
Cons Fonts a little jagged, not good for low resolution apps, no DVI, limited-motion standard...
Recommended it? Yes

Being of a somewhat frugal bent (imagine that), when the 15" CRT on my circa 1999 PC died, I dug out the old 13" from the circa 1995 PC and used it for about a week, despite the fact that after staring at the blurry, ghostly image for a while it felt like I was wearing somebody else's glasses for...

Pros Light, sleek, affordable
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

After using one of those big nad heavy monitors for 6 years, my Planar PL1700 is the cats meow. I enjoy everthing about and as of today I have nothing negative to say about it. It takes up less desk space. I actually can have my monitor directly in front of me. Read full review »
