Great PC Monitor
Date of Review: Mar 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: Excellent PC monitor for conference room. Sharp text and bright, clear image. Great price.
We purchased this for our conference room, and could not be more pleased. Our computer in that room doesn't support the full 1366 x 768 resolution, and our previous monitor (a low-end Konka) looked horrible at 1280 x 720, so we ran it at 1024 x 768. Not good for a wide screen monitor. The text was always fuzzy and colors were very bad. So when it died we were looking for something really solid.
The Olevia 537H was a bargain at $649. I have another Olevia, a 26" LCD that is very nice, so I thought I would take a chance on it.
The monitor scaled to our resolution perfectly. Full screen side to side, top to bottom and the text is very sharp. I would assume upgrading our PC to full 1366 x 768 would be even better and we will do that at some point, but this is surprisingly good for now. Colors, brightness, and sharpness are very good too.
Remote is very nice with controls laid out clearly. It also is back lit when you press any button that lights for several seconds.
But the on-screen menu is very confusing an unintuitive. It uses a 3-D interface that takes a while to get used to.
