Size-wise, we were happy to find that the P810 (unlike some of the gargantuan cases that these large size 21" tubes are housed in) manages to occupy as little desktop space as possible. It also adjusts very easily to whatever viewing angle the user desires from it, holding steady when the "perfect" angle is decided upon.

The image quality of the P810 is what you'd expect from a monitor that's designed for the rigors of high-end CAD and graphic design work, meaning that it's exceptionally clear with excellent overall color separation. Text is very precise as well, even when the P810 is set to its maximum 1600 x 1200 Win95/98 desktop resolution.

The P810's digital controls are intuitive and easy to manipulate quickly, just four buttons on the unit's face control over 20 different settings. All settings auto-save after they're set, so under most circumstances adjusting the controls won't be necessary after the initial few days of use.

For gamers, the P810 is just incredible. Playing a few hours of the SiN Demo's two multiplayer levels is enough to completely spoil current 17" and even 19" monitor users, particularly when throwing rockets around at resolutions of 1024 x 768 or above. The benefit of sitting roughly 18" away from a screen that's 21" large is felt under all circumstances, even the nerd-boy knob-gobblers who are dedicated to playing DVD movies on their PCs can enjoy the huge vista of cinematic display that the P810 provides :)

Luminosity, or the overall brightness of the display, is wonderful and totally adjustable to the user's preference. Moire (the common distortion effect caused by the interference between the CRT and the Focus Gun and various input sources) is virtually imperceptible, something that's rare in large displays.
