Micro Express MicroFlex 32A Review

by Mick Lockey

- WHAT'S HOT: The 19-inch Samsung SyncMaster 955DF monitor included with our MicroFlex 32A aced our image quality tests. This flat-screen CRT rendered bright, realistic colors and crisp details in a test photo and sharp text in both a newsletter and a screen with various font sizes. One of the monitor's on-screen controls highlights a portion of an image and ratchets up its brightness levels--a useful extra for graphics and video editing. For playing games, the 32A has performance to spare. The PC's 128MB ATI All-In-Wonder 9700 Pro graphics board blazed through our 3D tests, pumping out fast frame rates at all resolutions, including the very demanding 1600-by-1200 level and 32-bit color. A bonus: the card includes a TV tuner and a component video output (for displaying games and movies on an HDTV-ready TV) and a FireWire 400 input/output port for connecting a digital camcorder.
