Low-cost 20in LCD monitor

Display maker Videoseven has launched an aggressively priced 20in LCD display designed to appeal to people that want the big picture without breaking the bank.

Priced at £270, the V7 S20PD boasts an impressive eight millisecond response time, which is important if you want to avoid image blurring or ‘ghosting’ when watching video content. V7 Videoseven is a division of global technology distributor, Ingram Micro.

The 4:3 S20PD has a top resolution of 1,400 x 1,050 and a contrast ratio of 600:1. The resolution makes it suitable for viewing PC-based high definition (HD) content but there is no HDMI input to allow you to hook it up to forthcoming HD set-top boxes or high-definition players.

The display sports two integrated loudspeakers, to produce 5watts of audio power and there’s a Kensington lock also thrown in with each. Each model comes with a three-year on-site replacement service.
