There also is compression in the grayscale and color scales, which are mostly at midlevels. While text looks good for the most part, it does lack a certain sharpness seen in other LCDs. Tested at its native resolution of 1,280x1,024 pixels, no amount of menu tweaking could raise the EN7410's performance level up from just fair in CNET Labs' DisplayMate-based test suite. The buttons on the bezel include an autoadjust for the image, but if you'd rather make changes manually, the buttons are clearly labeled and the onscreen menus are easy to navigate.

The display comes with a user manual on CD-ROM and one of the smallest setup guides we've ever seen, which is fitting, because once you get the cables connected, it's ready to go. There isn't a cable management system to speak of, although with only two cords, clutter is minimal. With all the empty space, you'd think it would be easy to connect the analog signal cord, but it's not-you have to tilt the panel way over (or place it face down on a desk) to get the head of the connector into the port securely. This approach will be satisfactory only for shoppers with a low bottom line who can live with some image-quality problems and no extra features.Ī solitary analog signal port keeps the power port company at the back of the display (and both cables are included). While other low-cost 17-inch LCDs, such as the BenQ FP767-12, have at least one special feature, for example, built-in speakers, the EN7410 relies completely on the twin pillars of simplicity and affordability. But this is a case of getting what you pay for.
The Envision EN7410 is one of the most stripped-down, basic 17-inch LCDs we've seen, and it's also one of the most affordable.
