Review: Viewtek VT12
====================
The Viewtek is a pretty strange monitor, but in this case,
that's not a bad thing. Do you still use your TV to display
images from your computer? Can you not afford to buy a
colour monitor or a hi-res one? Well, the answer to your
problems is the Viewtek VT12 greyscale monitor. It works in
low and medium res modes on your ST, and instead of
displaying things in colour, it displays them in greyscales.
What this means is that its price can be kept to a minimum -
just £59....
I own three monitors, the VT12, Phillips Mark II and
Gasteiner hi-res monitors. Out of all of them, the Gasteiner
gives the best quality, but out of the MKII and VT12, the
image quality is almost the same, except that one's in
colour and one's not. The only thing I can spot wrong with
the VT12 is a slight blurring at the edge of images, but
this is only obvious when you look hard. Otherwise, it's
almost perfect. It also features stereo speakers for those
STE owners amongst you!
If you only play games, then there's not much point in this
monitor. But if you do some word-processing and serious
software, then it's very handy. You should see the
difference between text on the Viewtek and text on a TV.
It's very clear which is the best - the Viewtek. Of course,
games do look a little boring on it - they remind you of Mr.
Major (no insult intended of course) a bit, but it's better
than nothing. After all, what more do you want for £59?
