Insight With John G
Check this out! We get a ton of monitors
through here. Most are impressive. Some are downright spectacular, others
are bargain-basement. While this lets us carry the perfect monitor to fit
your needs (no matter what your needs are), it rarely gives us the chance to
sit up and take notice. The iF-281 DPB monitor from I-inc is more than it
appears. This monitor is 28-inches diagonal…an impressive size for any
desktop monitor, unless you happen to work in graphic arts. It also has an
onboard HDMI port. While many monitors have DVI ports (which can be
converted to HDMI with a simple connector), who out there really wants to
trust their glorious High Definition sources to a 30-dollar pass-through?
Not me. For the price, this cross-over monitor is a great deal. Connect your
PC or your High Definition source (Cable box, Satellite DVR, Blu-ray player
or HD-capable game platform) or both. Now you’ve got a TV in your computer
room, without the expense. While it’s true there’s no built-in tuner (thus
making it a monitor and not an actual TV) do you really watch over-the-air
HD channels? I don’t. Also, think about this: lots and lots of the newer
laptops come with HDMI outputs these days. And that’s worth considering.
Give it a try!

Great buy for the quality, size and performance. Looks great and no dead pixels at all. No complain about the controls, I agree that you may needs to spend few minutes to learn about them. Overall, I am very pleased with it.

Received this a couple of days ago. Let it warm up for an hour or so (it had been in a very cold UPS van for some time,) then easily set it up and in minutes was enjoying just how nice this monitor is, especially at this price! I haven't used the speakers so can't comment about them, but have had no issues at all with it thus far, no dead/stuck pixels, extremely bright (I turned it down to 30,) and absolutely massive!
I picked this over getting a 32''+ LCD TV to use as my monitor, and am glad, any larger and I would have been kicking myself!

After buying this monitor, I felt compelled to write about it. I was originally looking at 24'' versions at 279.00. While looking, I saw this one at 329.00 and thought, for an extra 50.00, I could get 4'' more of viewing display. Sooo, I went for it and I have just one thing (maybe two) to say: I will keep this baby until I die, AMAZING!! Second thought: Buy this monitor, you will surely be glad you did.

Looks awesome, but also had the dead/green always pixel in the upper middle area. However, discovered that if you press the screen where the dead pixel is seems to fix the problem so far. Excellent value.
DVI: Digital Visual Interface! What
Is It?
The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a
video interface standard designed to maximize the visual quality of digital
display devices such as flat panel LCD computer displays and digital
projectors. It was developed by an industry consortium, the Digital Display
Working Group (DDWG). It is designed for carrying uncompressed digital video
data to a compatible monitor or projector, and is partially compatible with
the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard in digital mode (DVI-D).
DVI represents a major improvement in image quality over the older VGA
standard.
The DVI interface uses a digital protocol
in which the desired illumination of pixels is transmitted as binary data.
When the display is driven at its native resolution, it will read each
number and apply that brightness to the appropriate pixel. In this way, each
pixel in the output buffer of the source device corresponds directly to one
pixel in the display device, whereas with an analog signal the appearance of
each pixel may be affected by its adjacent pixels as well as by electrical
noise and other forms of analog distortion.
Previous standards such as the analog VGA were designed for CRT-based
devices and thus did not use discrete time display addressing. As the analog
source transmits each horizontal line of the image, it varies its output
voltage to represent the desired brightness. In a CRT device, this is used
to vary the intensity of the scanning beam as it moves across the screen.
The two types of DVI interfaces are Single
Link and Dual Link. Following are the features and benefits of each:
Single Link - The Single Link interface is limited to a maximum pixel
clock of 165 Hz. It uses four (4) twisted pairs of wires (one each of Red,
Green, Blue and Clock). Maximum resolution is 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz.
Dual Link - The Dual Link interface is most common for today’s modern
LCD monitors. It provides three times as many pixels as the Single Link
interface. And its maximum clock may exceed 165 Hz. Dual Link uses six (6)
twisted pairs wires with two (2) each for Red, Green, and Blue, as well as
on pair for Clock. Dual Link’s maximum resolution is 2560 x 1600 at 60Hz.
When you use the Dual Link Interface you can use a longer cable because of
its higher bandwidth. Dual Link also provides HDCP support, which is
required for Blu-Ray playback.
What Is A
VESA Mount?
A VESA mount is one that has been designed to be compatible with the Flat
Display Mounting Interface (FDMI) Standard. The standard defines all
aspects of the mount dimensions and characteristics, to assure full
compatibility between compliant TV manufacturers and the manufacturers of
compliant or certified mounting hardware.
Remember, if you are looking to mount your monitor or TV on a VESA compatible mount or stand, check the individual product specificiations to make sure it is a VESA Mount compatible device!
Who Is
VESA? VESA
is an organization that supports and sets industry-wide interface standards
for the PC, workstation, and consumer electronics industries. VESA promotes
and develops timely, relevant, open standards for the display and display

What Is DDC2B?
The Display Data Channel or DDC is a digital connection between a computer
display and a graphics adapter that allows the display to communicate its
specifications to the adapter. The standard was created by the Video
Electronics Standards Association (VESA). The purpose of this standard
is to define a communications channel between an electronic display (e.g.
CRT, LCD, etc. displays) and a host system. The channel may be used to carry
configuration information to enable ‘plug & play’ and allow optimum use of
the display. The channel may also carry display control information.
Today’s computing and consumer electronic
environments demands that systems offer user-friendly set-up. With the
growing popularity of intuitive and simpler software user interfaces, hardware
manufacturers are responding with plug-and-play systems and peripherals.
However, for the user to receive full benefit from these advances,
standardization is necessary. VESA, as the prominent standards organization
for graphics subsystems, has developed a communications channel between the
host and the display. This communication channel offers basic configuration
information plus a standard way of communicating advanced functionality.
The current version of DDC, called DDC2B,
is based on the I²C bus. This is a serial bus that allows multiple bus
masters, although DDC2B allows only one master – the graphics adapter. The
monitor (e.g. a CRT or LCD) contains a read-only memory (ROM) chip
programmed by the manufacturer with information about the graphics modes
that the monitor can display.
Dual Monitor
Technology
Few PC users have ever experienced the huge productivity boost that comes
from using multiple monitors on the same PC. Ironically, many of
today's PC have the capability already installed, and Windows (since 2000)
natively supports dual monitors. Configuring dual monitors is so easy: just use
the second video port (if there are two separate ports installed), or add a
second video card or better yet, a video card that has dual DVI ports.
Then plug in your second monitor, change a couple of simple Windows settings,
and you have double the Windows Desktop. This lets you have your
spreadsheet and email visible at the same time, or PowerPoint and Photoshop.
The combinations are endless. And since most of the overhead is
handled by the video card, there is little significant impact (if any) on
system performance. Dual Monitors is one of the simplest, yet most
amazing productivity boosters you can add to your PC! Optionally, you can use a dual monitor stand and recover your workspace in the process!
