Compaq has designed the FP745A as an ultraslim, lightweight multimedia monitor that delivers reliability and great sound. With monitor-powered JBL Platinum Series speakers, the FP745A offers an enjoyable stereo experience and the convenience of a digital audio player, all within a thin-panel system boasting a small footprint. Consuming less desk space without compromising service, Compaq includes an integrated microphone incorporating built-in, high-quality voice recognition, digital audio inputs, and a headphone jack.

Easy-to-use onscreen menus provide precise control of brightness, contrast, degauss, horizontal and vertical size and position, color temperature, and more. Plus, plug-and-play operation and color-coded cables make setup easy, and the traditional analog interface is compatible with the most video cards. The FP745A enhances its display with a maximum flicker free resolution of 1,024 x 768. The square monitor provides a full 15 inches of viewable image area.

Antireflective, antiglare glass ensures accuracy of images and reduces eyestrain. This stylish monitor weighs less than 10 pounds. It is covered by HP/Compaq's limited one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Summary: Beautiful image and a tiny footprint 2001-10-16
Comment: Rather than replace a beloved desk which can't accommodate today's humongous monitors, I opted for a flat panel, and chose the FP745A after seeing several 15" and 17" models side-by-side at the store. Despite the steep price, I don't regret my choice.

The sharpness and color saturation are excellent (and can be fine-tuned by the user right down to specifying your own RGB values). The screen is so nonreflective that I can use it comfortably beside a sunny window (which was a major problem with my old monitor). Because the *viewable* area is 15", it doesn't seem that much smaller than the 17" (i.e., 16" viewable)Trinitron CRT I use at work, and I've found it more than satisfactory for everything from spreadsheets to simulation games. Plus, it weighs almost nothing, so I can easily shift it around as need be to make more room on my desk.

My one complaint is that the two of the cables that come with it might be adequate if the monitor were sitting atop a console CPU, but they're far too short to reach a minitower that sits at floor level. (However, a couple of inexpensive cable extensions solved that problem.)

One tip for the user: I connected mine to a new Compaq 7110US, which automatically set up the monitor using a preinstalled driver. Later, when I'd go to Control Panel>Display Properies>Settings, the monitor would flip out and I'd have to cold boot to get any image back. The problem was solved by (re)installing the driver from the diskette that came with the monitor. My OS (WinMe) balked, insisting I already had the optimum driver, but IT WAS LYING. Afterward, I was finally able change the palette from 16-bit to 32-bit (true) color, which made a world of difference.
