Weighing less than five pounds and offering a slim 5-inch profile (including the base), the 14-inch Proview PL456s is well suited for dorm rooms, small home offices, or anywhere space is at a premium. It also offers a great value price if you don't need a lot of bells and whistles and don't use high-end graphic applications. The monitor's narrow viewing angles (90 degrees horizontal, 40 degrees vertical), 1,024 x 768 resolution, and a 50-millisecond response time should stand up to word processing, web surfing, and other general-purpose tasks, though not so much to gaming and video entertainment. Happily, the PL456 offers fine 0.279-millimeter dot pitch and a 350:1 contrast ratio, so images and text should be clear, crisp, and legible.
Onscreen controls allow you to customize the panel to your heart's content, and simple plug-and-play setup and operation will have you up and running in just minutes. This model connects via a standard 15-pin D-sub cable (included) and supports its full 1,024 x 768 resolution on both PC and Power Mac platforms.
