   Unlike the other reviewer, I did receive speakers with mine, and they couldn’t handle the bass in a lot of my music files very well…so I sold them, and continue to use the ones I already had.

   I needed to replace my monitor for my home desk-top, and I was tight on funds, so I bought this. Obviously takes up more space than a flat screen monitor, but not as much space as some of the other “dinosaur” monitors.

   I get a clear picture, and bright colors, so that’s good enough for me.

   Another “old” product that I’m still using is the HP Deskjet 895cse – Printer – color – ink-jet – Legal, A4 – 600 dpi x 600 dpi – up to 10 ppm – capacity: 100 sheets – Parallel, USB. (Stop laughing – if something still works just fine, no sense throwing away money.)

   The description says this monitor comes with a pair of speakers; if so, I sure didn’t get them. So I’ll review the monitor alone: nowadays, the new thing in monitors are the lightweight flat screen units. This one is a very heavy throwback to the days of big glass picture tubes.

   For the price, though, it’s a bargain. When my laptop crashed, I needed a new monitor to resurrect my desktop computer and this monitor has given a sharp stable picture when adjusted properly. If you need a good, inexpensive monitor, get this one but make sure you buy it brand new and not a refurbished model that could go dead on you in a few days to a week. You might save money with a refurbished one, but they almost always have problems– which is why they were taken back and presumably fixed in the first place. But many long years of shopping experiece has shown me that repaired monitors– or anything else for that matter– are never as good as they should be; they are a problem just waiting to happen. So remember: for a few extra dollars, buy new– you won’t be sorry.
