4 years, going strong.......2007-06-14

I think I paid around $300 for this monitor on Amazon, 4 years ago. All is still well aside from a few pixels out. Great product.

My Experience With Cornea MP704s is All Good.......2007-03-16

I read the comment about how all the people giving good reviews must have not had their monitors for long and I had to write. I bought my first Cornea MP704 somewhere around late 2001 - early 2002, and it is still going strong and and looking good well into 2007 - is that long enough?

When my mother was looking for a new computer during 2003, I did not hesitate to buy and send her a Cornea MP704 at the same time that I bought and sent her a new PC. She is still using hers also. When I decided to go dual-monitor, I went and looked for a Cornea MP704 and found one (I seem to remember it was on eBay) and bought it. It is also still going strong, I have to look at the little label I put on the back of of my two to tell them apart.

Last month (Feb 2007) I decided to buy a monitor to put on my desk at work. I've bought someone's used MP704 off eBay, and this one is flickering. From my experience building PC's I know that the power supply is usually the first component to go, and the symptoms don't usually point obviously to the power supply. So on a guess I searched online on "Cornea MP704" and "power supply" and "flickering", and voila! I am here. So what do you expect with a five year old monitor? I'm going to get a new power suppliy off of eBay and I expect this great monitor to last another five years for me.

The only other thing I have to say is - if you hate the Cornea MP704, kindly box it up and send it to me.

Criticism perhaps unjustified.......2005-04-29

My office purchased eight MP704 monitors almost three years ago for use on four dual monitor workstations. We have had no dead pixels and no issues with blurry images or resolution problems. We did lament the lack of NT4 drivers, but after we upgraded to Windows 2000 this was no longer an issue.

Last week one of my monitors began to flicker, and this afternoon it died completely. As I had two identical monitors to experiment with on my own desktop, and six more readily at hand, I decided to swap the power supplies of the two and see if, perhaps, it was the power supply that had failed, and not the monitor.

Sure enough, the power supply was the culprit. A quick search of the web yielded one supplier of a replacement power supply (http://www.digital-house.com/digitalpowerproducts/ac.html), but as the price is a bit high ($60) I called Cornea directly and asked if the power supply is covered under their 3 year warranty.

In fact, it is, and they are faxing me information to send my broken one to them for replacement.

Now they may not in fact follow through on this promise, and if so I will post a follow-on review critical of that aspect of their customer support, but I thought it was only fair to report that the cause of the flicker problems reported on Amazon to date is most likely the power supply and NOT the monitor itself. And even at $60, a new power supply is still much cheaper than a new monitor.

In summary, I remain very satisfied with our Cornea MP704 purchase, and would not hesitate to buy from them again - with my own money (rather than taxpayer money) this time.

Awesome Monitor, But Has Flicker Problems.......2005-04-21

The MP704B is an awesome, solid monitor, when it's working properly. You've probably noticed a lot of very favorable reviews, but those reviews were most likely written after those customers owned this model for only a short while - the real problem starts to occur months down the road.

The MP704B has some great specs and it has terrific performance, especially for a no-name brand like Cornea Systems. I've never seen an MP704B with any dead pixels. Also, this model has great color, easy to use controls, and excellent response time (no ghosting at all).

However, I have used 3 of these models, and all 3 have had flickering problems. After some amount of time (anywhere between 6 and 14 months), the monitor will start flickering on startup. It gets worse and worse until it flickers even after it's been on for a while. As such, I've had to RMA 2 of them, and the third I will RMA soon.

This is a solid LCD monitor that can rival any other brand, when it's working properly. In reality, however, it's probably not worth the hassle of RMA'ing it every year, especially considering the warranty is for 3 years only - after that you're out of luck.

My advice would be to spend some extra money and get a quality monitor that works correctly all the time.

No dead pixels, and it works as advertised.......2004-12-06

This is the only Cornea brand product I've ever bought, so I can't comment on their overall quality, but after about a year and a half with this monitor, I've had zero problems and would buy another one.

As I said in the title, I have no dead pixels. Or, rather, if I do have any, I haven't noticed them and it certainly isn't a problem. For about 3 years prior to owning this monitor, I used a NEC 17 inch CRT that had a company's logo burned into the screen. That didn't really bother me, so perhaps I'm not the best source for monitor quality, though, as a photographer, I'd like to think I have a good eye or two. I've done some mid-level graphic work on this monitor and haven't had an issue one way or another.

Don't know if you can still buy this, but if you can, its good for the price I paid for it. Probably a lot cheaper now.

Amazon.com Product Description

This lightweight, portable 10-inch LCD display is perfect for desktops, tabletops, and counters. When mounted beneath your kitchen cabinet, the picture automatically inverts. It is cable- and antenna-ready so you can watch TV or easily hook it up with your DVD player, VCR, or video-game system. This is an EDTV monitor, which means it's a step closer to high-definition or HDTV than standard TVs. When used with a progressive-scan DVD player (or 480p-output DTV set-top box) you'll get seamless, razor-sharp images from your favorite movies and concert videos. The screen resolution is 800 x 600 pixels, and the contrast ratio is an impressive 250:1, since LCD technology lends itself to reproducing sharp contrast between light and dark images.

With its 200-cd/m2 screen brightness, the L10V22 will render a bright picture, even in light-drenched environments. A comb filter separates color data from black and white data to ensure optimal processing of both black-and-white and color video signals. Component-video, composite-video, S-video, RF (cable/VCR), and AV inputs accommodate most home-entertainment components. V-chip parental control is a programmable feature that uses the U.S. standard content advisory system to restrict viewing of specific programs or program types.

If you need a computer. . ........2004-10-30

All in all this is a decent computer for the price. It comes preloaded with Linspire Linux (formerly known as Lindows), which is ok for former Windows users who just want something easy to use. I do not like Lindows, however, and switched to Slackware Linux. It installed easily, and I am very happy with it.

I have one caveat, however. You would think that all the hardware on this machine would be compatible with Linux, but the modem is a winmodem. Winmodems are not real modems. They have parts missing that are emulated by software in Windows. This makes them cheaper. Linspire has the drivers for the modem, but if you want to use a different distribution of Linux (or even Unix or Beos), you should consider buying an external modem.

The greatest camera ever!.......2007-07-13

I bought the yellow one a few weeks back and absolutely loved it! My pictures turned out great! While you can get the film developed at a Big Box Store, my advice is don't. While the pics you get back will have the yellow (or other color) tint, the color isn't as true as it would be if you went to a camera shop and had them develop the photos. It's a fun little camera and I recommend it for anyone who wants to take funky photos.

piece of crap for the money........2007-07-04

i bought a red and blue one and the flash worked twice on the blue before it stopped and it won't even flash on my red one. the photos turned out granular and horrible. only about 3 turned out completely. i don't think that it's worth the money, you're much better off buying a regular disposable and putting a piece of blue plastic in front of the flash.

A Pocket Full of Fun!.......2007-06-28

Since receiving this camera, I've been completely attached to it. I've taken it everywhere I go, even to the gym. It came with easy instructions to re-use it and I'd also like to note that you don't HAVE to use the colored film over the flash. It easily slides out of the way in case you want photos without a blue tint. Very neat. I'm now ordering the Green one with Red and Yellow next on my list.
