Chimei CMV 633A 16in Widescreen LCD Monitor
Is the market really crying out for a 16 inch widescreen monitor?
The Chimei is also eminently portable (you can easily carry it with one hand), and might make an ideal monitor for your children's PCs. Miniature, cheap ultra-portables like the EeePC are flooding the market right now, most of which offer screen sizes...

Good for the money
Great for a second system monitor or for someone who isn't into prefect resoluiton. Good for kids or occasional use systems. Can't beat that price.
Great price at $99 with free shipping. Perfect for my kids computer that needed an update from the old HUGE CRT monitor, have so much more desk space now. Decent resolution, and looks good enough for what they want to do with it. Did I mention the...
Weird screen size, not sure why they have a speaker plug seemed useless to me. The stand seems a bit flimsy

Worked for a month
Teach me to buy and unheard of brand.
99 and free shipping
Oddball resolution. Worked for less than a month. by the time figured out it was bad it was too late to get it replaced/refunded through newegg. Bought as a replacement for my mother who lives 1300 miles from me so troubleshooting isn't easy

Chimei Oh-Kay
I RMA'd a gorgeous 20" non-widescreen to Chimei and got it back fixed in a reasonable period of time. They didnt even squawk about be not sending back the monitor stand.
Looks great. Got it on sale with free ship ; I just use if for a bench monitor to reload windows, troublshoot pcs
If I sat in front of it all day I would want something bigger

Not for extreme overclocking
16" Widescreen will look smaller then 15" Square 4:3 because the square ones have aprox 10-20% more room then the widescreen ones. Basically, this is very similar to a 15" 4:3
Great price @ $99 with Summer Promotion
None

Chimei ,she may not ! watch out !
Ok so after being put off for almost 8 weeks , they send back a different monitor ( a black one mine was silver.) Worse yet , it has a faded dingy Yellow screen and no adjustments can help this, it looks old . The one I sent them was quite bright and...
Please read my RMA nightmare including Bait and Switch in the con section
Newegg is not carrying Chimei ( A.K.A ) Nexgen anymore ; Why ? Could it be the RMA nightmare I went through ? Or similar complaints ? My 22 " Chimei worked for 1 year when the screen went blank. I called Chimei ( Nexgen ) and the tech asked if the...

Know what you are getting
Obviously love the product but was suprised to see the widescreen display. This stretches picture out wider. Bought to replace CRT on very old computer. Frees up desk space.
Great price, Newegg service. easy connect, very good picture, lightweight & maneuverable. Great size. Built in speakers
It is wide screen so plan for slight distortion

CHIMEI CMV 633A Black 16" 8ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 270 cd/m2 550:1 Built-in Speakers
99$ best deal out there. Period.
For the price it's straight. I got a few compliments on the monitor from people coming through the studio. Perfect for a desk monitor
As previously stated, not true 16.. I have an older 15" LCD on another desk and this CHIMEI looks kinda dwarfed out... 99$ best deal out there. Period

OK
Must have a DVI->VGA adapter to use with most modern video cards.
No dead pixels. Nice size for monitoring servers/seldom used clients. Has a power switch
Parts fall off. Not kidding took the unit out of the box and a plastic snap on piece fell off where the swivel is mounted. I just snapped it back on though. No DVI just VGA connector
