I bought my Hansol 710D a little while ago and haven’t been disappointed by it! I was looking for a budget monitor and couldn’t believe my look when I found a 17” for less than £200 (this was about a year ago.) As far as its technical specs go its very impressive. It can manage a 19” monitor beating 1600*1200 @ 75Hz. I challenge you to find a better specked 17” monitor for less than £200. Although it only has the normal analogue connection (D-Sub) it really is (no matter what the elitist magazines say) fine for most people use, take a look at your graphics card, do you see a flat panel digital output? If you do, congrats, you have ...  Read the complete review

I have been using this monitor now for over five months and have no complaints at all. I must admit that I was a little dubious about it to start with as the price was only £169, which is at the cheaper end of the 17” monitor market, but as you can see from the specs below it was very good value; 17” Dynaflat screen, 16” viewable 0.25mm dot pitch 1600 x 1200 max resolution @ 75Hz 1280 x 1024 optimum resolution @ 85Hz MPR-II, EPA Energy Star and TCO’99 compliant The monitor’s dimensions are only 418mm wide, 417mm high and 419mm deep so it will not take over your desk completely, but at 15.0Kg it should ...  Read the complete review

After you have used a 17" monitor, either at work or a friends or whatever its very difficult going back to a smaller 14" or 15" one. I am very interested in design work and I had to get at least a 17" monitor at the very least. After looking around the usual stores I noticed that my local independent store were selling a "Viewpoint" monitor for £169.00 and I decided to go for it. When I opened the box I had a couple of surprises. Firstly the power lead that came with the monitor was a 2 pin US style one (dodgy import?) the second surprise was that the monitor was a re-badged Hansol model. I could tell this from the grill pattern, ...  Read the complete review

After struggling for years with an ancient 14-inch monitor I finely decided that the headaches were not worth it and decided to purchase a decent monitor. And after much deliberation and research I chose the Hansol 710D 17-inch monitor, mainly on cost grounds. The FST monitor has a viewable screen size of 16 inches, a .25mm dot pitch, a max resolution of 1600*1200 @ 75Hz and conforms to the stringent TCO99 standards for emissions. In use I have found the 710D to be quite capable. Working at a resolution of 1280*1024 with a refresh rate of 85HZ is quite comfortable with no flickering evident. Image quality is good and the flat screen appears to live up ...  Read the complete review

I was going to buy a Hansol 710P but when I saw the flat screen version for just £25 more I decided to go for it. The 710D is a joy to use with a greater spec and a great picture to back it up. For the exact specs follow the link above to the web site (which is also very good). I got the monitor as part of a system I was having built by my local back street specialist. The PC is primarily a games PC so therefore I needed a monitor that could support high refresh rates at high resolutions which the 710D can. I received the monitor and it was great until it blew up 5 days later. So I looked on the web site for the warranty details. I ...  Read the complete review
