Editorial Reviews :
The CT1503 boasts a 15-inch LCD screen with razor-sharp images, an internal NTSC tuner for convenient broadcast-television viewing, and a 1,280 x 1,024 resolution picture. Image quality is enhanced by a high contrast ratio (500:1), a peak brightness of 270 candles/square meter, and wide viewing angles: 160 degrees vertical x 120 degrees horizontal.
In addition, the space-saving CT1503 can be connected directly to your PC, cable TV, DVD player, or VCR using its composite-video, S-video, and stereo analog audio terminals. You can also hook up an external antenna for better reception. Its DVI connection, combined with a PC digital video card, enables exceptional clarity and sharpness. Built-in speakers make it easy to listen in stereo.
The monitor is compatible with Windows 95, 98, 2000, and XP, as well as with Macintosh, Unix, Linux, and OS2. Slim and stylish in design, the CT1503 can stand on its own or mount to a wall for even greater space savings. A Kensington security slot lets you tether the monitor to a desk or wall. The CT1503 comes with a remote control.
Buyer Reviews :
I quite like this monitor/TV. We have the computer in our bedroom and now we can also watch TV in bed (ER is on a bit late after all).
This monitor can be used in five modes Analog, Digital, S-Video, Composite Video and TV. Also it has internal loudspeakers and a remote.
As a computer monitor it is reasonable. I have only used it in the Analog mode (VGA connector). One can see a 'shadow' behind the letters and one needs to play for quite while with the auto, size and phase settings to get the optimal picture. I have not tried the digital mode (DVI connector).
As a TV monitor one can either use RCA style inputs for composite video, or the s-video connector. The picture is very good and most importantly; it works with both European PAL signals and American NTSC signals. The electronics figures out what signals it is and adjusts its settings automatically. Niiice.
This unit also works as a TV. One needs to fiddle a bit with brightness, contrast and solor settings a bit, but then the picture is OK. The sound is just mono though and the internal loudspeakers are very small making the sound a bit thin. Also, one can not switch on the captions.
This set comes with a remote; which is the flimsiest, tiniest one I ever saw. It is a credit card sized thingy powered by Li coin battery. It has calculator style buttons for sound, channel up/down menu etc. I better get a 'replace all' remote because I doubt this thing is going to have a long life.
To change between all these modes one can use the select button on the monitor or the remote. It takes quite a while to go from monitor to TV. One can only cycle trough the modes sequentially and witch each step the screen goes black for a few second.
I think that this unit was for the money a good buy. Also it looks quite nice even when it is switched off.
