LCD Reviews - Kogi L7EH
Overview - When one looks at the monitor's name, one may be
weary. However, don't let the name fool you; this monitor is
chalked full of quality.
Setup - Setup for this monitor was a breeze. The VGA connection
ensures compatibility will all graphics cards. The monitor is
powered by a wall outlet, but you must use the included power
brick for DC. Once connected, the monitor needed to be adjusted.
However, this was very easy, as the monitor has an auto-tune
feature accessed through the OSD. Once the auto-tune was
complete, the monitor was all ready to go.
Performance:-
Desktop - The desktop image is very sharp, with good clarity on
the colours. The brightness and contrast were excellent, and
needed no adjusting. The colour was uniform across the screen,
and there were no dead or sluggish pixels.
Games - This monitor was excellent in games. With a 20ms
response time, ghosting was virtually non-existent, and the
monitor easily kept up with the game (no dropped/chopped
frames). Colour/Brightness/Contrast were also good, but user
preference will vary. The games tested included Battlefield
1942, Unreal Tournament 2003, Quake 3, and Command and Conquer
Generals.
Movies/DVDs - This monitor was also excellent in movie/DVD
playing. Once again, there was no lag during fast movies, nor
was there any chopping of frames. Colour/Brightness/Contrast
were also good, but user preference will vary. The movies tested
included The Matrix, Spiderman, ID4, and Blade.
Cad/3D - A topic often missed is quality in Cad and 3D modelling
programs, where precision is key. The monitor has no problem
displaying very fine lines, though under close examination,
pixilation was apparent, but didn't have any noticeable effect
on quality of fine lines. The programs tested include
AutoCad2000, and several freeware 3D programs.
Final Score 9/10
Good- Awesome for games and movie, great colour reproduction. 3
year warranty.
Bad- Speakers could be better (though for size could be worse),
clunky power brick.
Final word- For the price, this monitor is awesome. You cant go
wrong.
