American Range ARR304ISS

Pros: sharp image, speakers, built in microphone

Cons: none so far

Review:

I have just recently purchased a new computer. Being stationed overseas in Germany I am limited to whatever type of computers and computer accessories the Post Exchange happens to carry at the time. In my case it is the Compaq line of...

Pros: speakers, microphone, clear

Cons: a bit bulky in size

Review: I purchased the Compaq computer package at Best Buy pretty recently. The monitor to come with the deal was a MV 540, it is 15 inches just like the MV 520 and also came with speakers. you have the option of attaching the speakers to the sides of the...

Pros: Decent clarity, great speakers, fair price!

Cons: None that I'm aware of!

Review: I decided to write a review or two about monitors because if you're reading this, you have one but all monitors are NOT the same! I'd like to first give you a little information about the monitor and then some words of advice if you have an older...

Pros: Clear picture, simple set-up

Cons: No excitement, smallish screen (15")

Review: Most of us average users "select" a monitor as part of a package deal containing monitor, CPU, and maybe speakers and/or a printer. We basically take what we are given and don't think much of it. Fortunately for Compaq users the MV520...

Pros: Large screen, high resolution, excellent clarity and brightness

Cons: Low dot pitch

The Bottom Line: This is a great monitor with capability of high res (1280x1024) manufactured by one of the best monitor companies NEC.

Review: I have been a huge fan of LCD monitors since they started being marketed to the masses. While the continue to be expensive, especially for the largest screen sizes, the smaller 15-inch monitors are becoming affordable. For the relief on your eyes, its...

Pros: Good resolution

Cons: Bad microphone

Review: I spend about 6-7 hours a day in front of a computer. I am very aware of the possible damages a bad monitor can do to my eyes. I have been using this Compaq MV520 for three months now and it seems to be protecting my eyes very well. My eyes seldom feel...

Pros: Super colors, easy to use

Cons: highest useable res. 800X600

Review: First of all, let me say that the 520 comes bundled with the super JBL speakers.
The speakers are awesome.
It also has a built in mic at the center top of the monitor.

The color and resolution at 800X600 of the monitor is outstanding...

Pros: Very easy to set up. Tech support has been great for me.

Cons: None for the monitor

The Bottom Line: I would definitely get another Compaq monitor again based on the customer service we received and the ease of use with the product itself.

Review: One of the reasons we went for Compaq in general was because we needed a good "starter" computer that was not so pricey. Ours came with this monitor and we have had no problems with it. Although I have heard Tech Support has its drawbacks, we have had...

Pros: Pretty good picture, and a reasonable price

Cons: Not the best your can get, but good for it's price

The Bottom Line: An average monitor for an average user.

Review: Overview

The Compaq MV520 is the monitor that came with my computer that I bought from Circuit City. This 15 inch monitor has a respectable price for a respectable quality. Of course I hope you know that this is...

Pros: Great clarity, color, and contrast

Cons: Expensive without package deal

Review: This monitor and speaker pair came as a package deal with a Compaq system. The price of the package was fair, for it's average performance with the MV520 included. If the MV520 was not part of the package I would not have purchased it as it's price...
