Fujitsu PDS4221 Review by Rob Calabrese from IL on 3.28.01

Q:  Describe the picture of the plasma TV/LCD monitor in terms of clarity, color reproduction, contrast and brightness.

A:  All picture qualities are superior to any conventional monitor I have seen; the difference was noticable between the Fujitsu plasma monitor and my previous TV, a Proscan 32"

Q:  What are your general comments on your Plasma TVs/LCD Monitors? How do you like it?

A:  It's wonderful! It doesn't take up much space other than width and height, it's not very heavy, the controls and hookup are both very logical; setup was very easy; and it can produce a screen-filling picture from many different sources

Q:  How would you best describe the design and looks of the Plasma TV/LCD Monitor?

A:  Nice classic design, but with a appealing high tech look due to the thinness of the monitor compared to it's screen size

Q:  Plasma TV Inputs used? A:  S-Video

Q:  How long have you had the Plasma TV/LCD Monitor? A:  Less than 1 Month

Q:  What is the Plasma TV/LCD used for? A:  Home Living Room

Q:  Please explain how the Plasma TV/LCD Monitor was installed.

A:   It's placed on a Fujitsu desktop stand, and screwed to the top of a low custom cabinet that holds the center channel speaker for the surround system

Q:  Where did you purchase your Plasma TV/LCD Monitor? How was your buying experience?

A:   DTV City; the buying experience was very quick and pleasant; I appreciated being able to track the shipping using Roadway's website; Roadway did an impressive delivery job; the monitor was packed on a pallet and double-boxed, and arrived in perfect cosmetic and operating condition, right when they said it would.

Q:  Your Comments About your Buying Experience:

A:   No complaints! I saved a lot of money, and the monitor arrived quicker than the time quoted by other dealers. Barring any service problems in the future, I would definately recommend buying a big-ticket item from DTVCity
