My thoughts on Hannspree - 27.5" Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD HD Monitor

hondaman_abx · 12-22-2008, 02:08 PM

Just picked up a Hannspree - 27.5" Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD HD Monitor from Best Buy. I was a little nervous about the brand but with a three year warranty I thought I would give it a try.

I must say that I am really enjoying the sharp picture with a 3ms response time. Also this thing is huge compared to my old Viewsonic 22".

The bad is I can seem to get the native resolution to apear right with Vista. It cuts off 1/4 inch all around the screen. I just may be missing something.

Did you call tech support? Does the picture go edge to edge with another OS?

What made you buy this one?

I have not called tech support on this issue yet, I have not tried it on another os either been busy have not had much time.

I dont know why honestly, my wife and I were looking also to play the wii on this one as well. The kids take control of our LCd in the living room with the Xbox. It was a spure of the moment thing. We are both bad at that :
