![]() Cornerstones P1750 is one of the most attractive and least expensive monitors reviewed. |
At $649, the P1750 is among the most economical of the displays tested here. This is a 22" monitor with a 20" viewing area. Dot pitch is a relatively fine 0.24mm. Horizontal sync on the P1750 is 30140KHz, and vertical sync is 50160Hz. The tube is very dark, which gives the display good contrast. The P1750s black housing enhances the darkness of the tube and makes for an attractive monitor.
On the test bench, the P1750 showed some very slight corner sharpness problems, and reds were a bit orange instead of clear red. Despite these minor deductions, the P1750 produces an attractive display that should prove easy to live with. The on-screen menu is not the easiest to navigate and understand, but its far from the most complex and obscure that I've seen. Six control buttons on the front, plus an input toggle and a power on/off toggle, make it relatively easy to manage the most-used display adjustments. The monitor provides connectivity with two vertically mounted D-sub connectors.
The Cornerstone P1750 is covered by an excellent five-year warranty, two full
years more than the industry-standard coverage on the other monitors reviewed
here. This, combined with the low price and the general quality of the display,
earns the P1750 Cadalysts five-star rating. Highly Recommended.
