LG 774FT

LG 774FT ... earlier Flatron 775FT model, apart from a design makeover that adds a new stand and metallic purple-grey color scheme. This gives a degree of interest to the screen's appearance, although opinions on its aesthetic qualities will probably be divided. The neatest aspect of the new design for those with cramped desks is the utilization of the previously dead space between the monitor's stand and the screen itself. This space now provides a cradle to accommodate a standard PC keyboard, although anyone who has a desk with a sliding keyboard shelf won't realize the benefit.

Once you've taken your eyes off the design, however, the Flatron 774FT becomes nothing more than average. The 0.24mm pitch of the flat tube screen is sharp enough to be viewed from fairly oblique angles, but the maximum resolution of 1280x1024 pixels is low in comparison to many other similar models. Like its predecessor, the 774FT has some of the better onscreen display controls to be found on any monitor, with responsive, easy-to-use buttons offering access to various configuration settings. These include brightness and contrast, separate red, green and blue color saturation controls.
