  • Installing a monitor is one of the least complicated things in the world. You unpack it, throw it within cable length of your computer and hook it up to your video board and a power jack and power it up. One last thing to do, which Windows does automatically on boot, is to install the monitor profile. It supplies Windows with color calibration data as well as detailed information on the monitor's capabilities in terms of resolutions supported and refresh rates.

    The Nokia 446XS is a "short-neck" model, which means it has been constructed to occupy less desk space than a standard 19" monitor, and it certainly does.

    When I received the screen, at first I was puzzled by its small size. I almost thought it was a 17". Why? Because when compared to a 17" Adi ProVista (a pretty standard 17" monitor in terms of size and features), I found the 446XS to be smaller in two out of three dimensions. Only in width did the 19" 446XS exceed the 17" ProVista, by about an inch and a half.. This shape makes the 446XS look a little like a wide screen display, even though the CRT has the standard width / height aspect ratio.

    This is pretty impressive considering that the actual screen has just .2" less viewable screen area than a "regular" 19" CRT monitor.
