ADI Microscan E66 19" monitor Review
A good monitor used to be a luxury but
now, with the increased times we spend on the computer each day they have become a necessity. Only
a four years ago most people spent a few hours a day staring at a computer screen.
Now there are a lot of us who spend all day at work, and a
few hours at home in front of the computer.
Having a computer screen which is easy to read, not too hard on the eyes, and
isn't cramped is important. A 17" monitor is the bare minimum, 19" is the
average, and 21" though massive, is a great if you can afford it. Today we'll be
looking at the ADI Microscan E66, a 19", 0.26mm pitch monitor that caught
our attention.

While there are drivers for
this monitor on the manufactures site, there are not entirely
necessary from our experience in a Win98SE environment. But if you like to
have everything running smoothly, they are available. Go to www.adiusa.com where you will find the drivers, and some
handy illustrated instructions on how to update/install the current monitor
drivers.
