Hyundai ImageQuest L70S Review

- With its well-marked buttons, the attractively priced ($299) Hyundai ImageQuest L70S looks like simplicity itself. It allows no physical adjustments other than tilt and accepts no digital input. Its speakers emit sound passably, but they also hiss. In addition, the headphone jack, situated on the back of the unit, is easy to miss. Still, the absence of advanced controls wouldn't be a problem for general users if the images were excellent--which brings us to the sticking point.

User Reviews for Hyundai ImageQuest L70S

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Awesome quality picture. My photos look absolutely gorgeous on this monitor...

    Weaknesses: Speakers - as everyone notes - but I use separate speakers anyway connected to my computer anyway.

    Overall Evaluation: Awesome quality photos when viewed onscreen. Problem is, when I print (with my extra-high quality Epson printer) some of the gorgeous pinks, purples and blue hues that I see onscreen don't translate into the photos themselves. However, I have even taken my photo card to a professional and had copies made and I noticed no difference whatsoever in what I print at home and what I get from them - so apparently the monitor is picking up on some extra color pixels that just are not able to be printed. The 17" size is very good - once you make size adjustments to suit your personal style. I will definitely get another Hyundai monitor when I upgrade to a larger size and donate this one to another family member. I read some reviews elsewhere that complained about ghosting and/or missing pixels but I've never seen any problems such as these with my monitor and have owned it for almost a year.

    Strengths: Great looking monitor with nice picture

    Weaknesses: Speakers tinny and faint sound

    Overall Evaluation: Great monitor for under $200 Set up easily and was up and running in no time. Picture looks bright and clear. I ended up buying 2 of these and both look great.
