A resolution problem appeared when I first hooked up the monitor. Resolution fell to 640 pixels by 480 pixels, and the image was a small square in the middle of the screen. I suspect the operating system had some kind of conflict with the L661 s drivers and kept the image from expanding to the full screen size under anything except native resolution. As for the i-Sound attachable speakers, they consisted of two miniwoofers and two tweeters, all on a horizontal stick that attached to the bottom of the monitor. They delivered the best monitor speaker sound I ve heard yet, but that s not saying a whole lot.
Monitor speakers tend to deliver poor sound quality.
The Eizo speakers also need a redesign. They were difficult and frustrating to attach to the bottom of the monitor. Despite these problems, the L661 still showed some of the best-looking images I ve ever seen from any monitor, LCD or otherwise. Some design changes in future models and a price reduction could win the L661 a top grade. Inc. All rights reserved.
