hoho, love the glove...what did OJ die lately too?

Looks suspiciously like an HP product to me...

“Famous Maker”

what is that?

Nice touch with the glove.

"Famous Maker?" Just what is that supposed to mean?

can it be positioned into a portrait monitor?

All these "famous maker" models seem to be HP. Sorry, I'll pass. Never had an HP product I've ever really liked.

Also 20" screens are so 2004. Bring back the 24 inchers!

Is there any real difference between HDMI and DVI (asides from the fact that DVI is video only while HDMI is both video and audio)?

I'm wondering since I know HDMI to DVI converters are out there and a lot of new laptops have HDMI...

Warren Zevon reference! w00t!

I just glove the image

o.its hp

clearly HP.

looks definitely like an HP monitor

Looks like an "HP Debranded" according to geeks.com

Without a doubt in my mind, that monitor is a HP w2007 20" LCD Monitor.

Here's a review of it from cnet:

Seems like someone we just lost, has one glove for no apparent reason. It's a Jacko monitor!

I own this monitor...it's a rebadged HP monitor...I like it. Has that high-gloss screen that makes colors pop. Seems like a decent deal.

thinking about replacing the 17" CRT in the basement for the Mac i have. kindy iffy on the refurb. heck, we don't even know who manufactured this thing!

It's an HP.

can this hook up to my macbook?

Yeah. Google the model number. There you have it.

Separated at birth???

"Not that this monitor is “a truly fine item,” really" How true

Pity the cost wasn't $5 less, so the total with shipping would have been under a $100.

Problem with refurb monitors is quite often they have dead pixels. What is the dead pixel warranty on this thing?

Does anyone know how well this will work with non-native (1620X1050) resolutions?

I've had a Famous Maker before, actually, I'm using it right now. (24")

It is a HP, at least mine is, and it was refurbished. I think they are great if you get one with no dead pixels like mine.

Hehe, I was thinking of the Yardbirds version. But I'm an old guy...

;-)

What qualifies a monitor as "Debranded," anyway?

A search on the model number comes up with "debranded" HP. Also Briteview Technology is an HP tradename.

Perhaps this is comparable to the debranded monitor at Uncle Vic's:

$129.99 + shipping

Likely has too many dead pixels.

That would be my bet.

it is definitely an hp. i have that monitor

Is this an HP monitor?

As for me, I personally own this monitor and got this back when it was still in stores.

It's a fairly solid monitor with only some slight issues from time to time (mainly color issues).

This would be great for the person on a shoestring budget looking for a decent-sized monitor to satisfy their needs.

I don't see why they would not say the name.

I think it should be cheaper if they can't say the name.

HP is what it appears to be But i have seen some look a likes that could pass.

really though - there is not that many companies that make these things - far less than ther are companies that put there name on them.

WOOT! I have a great idea - these de branded ones you could offer a sticker kit so we could put out own name on it. for 99.0 i mean .

If you want to sell them for 45.00 I could buy my own sticker kit.

Is it mac compatible?

Excluding the audio aspect (which is important if you want to use it as a TV), the practical difference between an HDMI port on a computer and a DVI port is pretty negligible. A HDMI to DVI cable should work just fine for video only.

Anyone know if this uses CCFL, white LEDs, or RGB LEDs, as the light source?
