Introduction

All results issued in this review have been established by using the digital input, with the exception of the test runs for analog image quality, which have been established on the analog input. Our test bed ran with a Gainward 750 Geforce4 Titanium graphics card.

Scope of supply

Along with the display you'll get a manual, a D-Sub cable, a DVI-D cable, a power cable, a power supply unit and a disk holding drivers and monitor profile. In addition, a cover plate for the cables has been added in order to stow away cables on the rear side.

The included manual is abundant with mistakes and by this we don't mean spelling mistakes. For instance the resolution is specified as 1.024 x 768, the response time is Ta=25 degrees and the pixel pitch is 1.024 x (RGB) x 768. In this respect, AG Neovo could have really tried a little harder.

Design

The monitor looks quite nice. Despite its completely plastic fabrication the case makes a well done appearance by all means. The frame is not exactly thin but at the same time is not exactly thick as well. What struck us is the specification of TCO99 on the data sheet and on the carton. The manual produced nothing that could have confirmed that information. Although the foot and the lower part of the monitor is slightly brighter than the rest of the monitor, we would have expected it to be labeled as TCO 95 because of the color. We found connecting the cables to be especially easy because the inputs can be accessed very conveniently. Afterwards, the cables are covered by a cover plate.
