ADI Monitor Reviews

"While Trinitron and Diamondtron tubes have enjoyed flat-screen technology for a few years, their shadow-mask counterparts are only just catching up...The G900 is visually aesthetic, but round the back you'll find a disappointing array of features...What let the G900 down, however, was the disturbing amount of moirÚ interference, rendering the improved focus and resolution useless...ADI expects the G900 to be launched at a street price of £299, which isn't bad, but you could get the superior Diamondtron NEC MultiSync FE950 (see Labs, issue 69, p126) for just £10 more..." read more »

"Although the ADI has an on-screen setup display (OSD), only part of the functionality on offer has been moved on to it...The lightly curved FST-type screen surface has an effective anti-glare, anti-reflective coating, and a fairly large 15.75in viewable diagonal, but it's the pin-sharp overall focus that catches the eye...ADI Microscan 5G | Monitors | Reviews | PC Pro..." read more »

"ADI 5GT monitor proposed by Northern Micro was non-compliant, as it did not have integrated speakers...We [would] like to substitute the 17? monitor from ADI 5GT to Philips 107 MP ?Brilliance Multi Media monitor? with [built-in] integrated speakers and which meet[s] all the specification[s] for the above contract, (Specification attached...The GIR states that Northern Micro then requested that the Department accept the monitor that had been offered, with the understanding that Northern Micro would be providing, at its cost, good quality speakers with each monitor...Furthermore, at the conclusion of an inquiry, the Tribunal must determine whether the complaint is valid on the basis of whether the procedures and other requirements prescribed in respect of the designated contract have been observed..." read more »

"As I type this, I am looking at the screen of the ADI MicroScan 5P...This monitor is heavy, I have moved it around a number of times and it is hard...I read a number of reviews in magazines before I bought this monitor two years ago and it was recommended for home use but not for high-end graphics work or CAD..." read more »

"The MicroScan 6G turned in a below-average performance but had a very low price for a 21in unit...ADI's last outing in our 19in monitor Labs (see issue 46) saw it earn an overall score of only three points...The 6G performed below average in the geometry and distortion tests, with an overall score of 12 points..." read more »

"This page contains specs and other information on the ADI MICROSCAN 6P monitor...If you have a ADI MICROSCAN 6P monitor, what else is there...A video card, or video cards as the case may be these days, to get full performance from that monitor you probably just spent a pretty penny on..." read more »

"The 18.1in MicroScan 9L is the latest move towards the upper echelons of the market...It looks pretty enough, with pleasing curves and a stylish, solid base...The 9L has an analog video interface, so you can hook it up to your existing graphics card easily...The 9L copes well at lower than native resolutions, with pixel smoothing making the best of the inevitable aliasing distortions..." read more »

"Alas, this is the way things are when it comes to TFT flatpanel monitors, and at £833, the ADi MicroScan A610 costs about the going rate for these screens at the moment...The A610 is a prime example of this - its base is about half the size of that of a CRT monitor and the screen itself is only about 2.5in thick...The A610 plugs into a regular VGA connector (unlike some digital flatpanel displays) and has a built-in power supply, so there's no hefty mains adaptor to hide under your desk...Image-wise, the A610 is a first-rate performer..." read more »

"Its silver and grey trim lends the A715 an air of sophistication, with the matching stand offering some unique functionality...This helps counteract the poor vertical viewing angles that proved to be the A715's only weak point...It passed every other test, performing well in the tricky colour combinations and achieving a distinction in the ramps, where banding was minimal and tonal range impressive...Quality was significantly better than the NEC and, although the Sharp rivalled the A715 here, it fell behind on features...It's true that the MicroScan offers neither the best performance nor features on test, but with three years' on-site, next-business-day warranty, it represents an excellent all-round package..." read more »

"A good monitor used to be a luxury but now, with the increased times we spend on the computer each day they have become a necessity...Today we'll be looking at the ADI Microscan E66, a 19", 0.26mm pitch monitor that caught our attention...While there are drivers for this monitor on the manufactures site, there are not entirely necessary from our experience in a Win98SE environment..." read more »
