Comment: Good Monitor for the price Rating:
Just received my monitor. Set it up next to my Sceptre 17" LCD w/ DVI. For the price, this is a great LCD. the colors are very bright and vivid. On the box the specs were 30ms response time and i was very skeptical even though Amazon and the Kogi website said 25ms. After setting it up it definitely hasn't disappointed me. I won't be using this for gaming but it still performs great. I tried the Winamp Vis Plugin Milkdrop and set the fps to 100+ fps and no ghosting at all at 1280x1024. ....

Comment: Quality, excellent sharpness for text and graphics! Rating:
Great monitor! Excellent quality and sharpness for the money.
You can't get better out there! There is no compromise on quality! You get the very best in Kogi. I have Kogi 19" L9CH and 17" L7CH and been very happy with them. No dead pixels and zero problems! The Kogi has the sharpest LCD screen on the market! I've been very happy with Kogi monitors. You will too!
I give it 10 stars!!!! You will be amazed at it's excellent quality at 1280x1024 native resolution!!!

Comment: It broke down just a few days after 3-month full warranty Rating:
I bought it in March and thought it was a good deal. It worked fine until last Thursday. When I turned on my computer, the whole monitor screen turned into green/yellow. And it became so blurry that I could not even correctly find the START icon to turn off my computer.
I called the Gvision company. First, they don't have a toll free customer service number. Then the guy from technical support told me to go to their website to follow the instructions listed in FAQs--lucky I did not get rid of my old monitor. Nothing worked. I called them again. And I was told that I had to go to their website again to fill out a RMA (RETURN/REPAIR MERCHANDISE AUTHORIZATION) REQUEST FORM, otherwise a $45 fee will be charged.
Second, after I completed the form and clicked "sumbit", a page error occured and the information could not be sent. I tried several times and could not send out the request form. So I called Gvision for the third time. This time I was told that it might because the information I typed in was too long--their web page just says "Please be brief/concise" but does not specify a length limit or tells you the form might not be sent out if the information is too long.
Anyway, I received the email reply yesterday giving me a RMA # so I can send my monitor back to Gvision. BTW: althought the product claims to have one-year warranty, the full warranty is 3-month. It means after 3 months from your purchase date, they will only REPAIR or replace it with a REFURBISHED item.
Third, even after you get the RMA # you have to ship the monitor back by yourself. And Gvision will not cover or reimburse the shipping cost. I paid about $24 for 7-day ground parcel service at post office. Two years ago when I had problem with my Dell laptop, I contacted Dell and they just sent someone from Fedex to pick it up the next day. I did not have to pay a cent for shipping (I did not even have to pack my laptop because the Fedex guy came in with a special case for laptop and he wrapped it carefully.)
Now I'm still waiting for my LCD monitor to come back. Hopefully there will be no more hassles for me.
