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.
