Prophetview 920 Pro DVI LCD Display

Hot Hardware reviews the Prophetview 920 Pro DVI from Hercules Video, praising it’s build quality, excellent performance and competitive price - doesn’t look too bad when it’s switched off too:

Mechanically, the Prophetview does not offer anything new, compared to similarly priced LCD Displays. Thankfully, what it lacks in physical functionality it makes up for in aesthetics. Mounting on a solid metal “boomerang” shaped stand, the shapely gloss black display will surely add an extra measure of “swank” to any system it is incorporated with. Unfortunately, the only physically adjustable feature of the Prophetview is the vertical tilt of the display. We would have liked to have seen the implementation a horizontal swivel for the metal base. Though it is very eye-catching, we feel the dime sized rubber feet on the underside of the “boomerang” do not offer people, who constantly reposition their display, a large enough area of protection form scratches on most surfaces. Nevertheless, for those consumers whom leave their display in a static position, or choose to wall mount the display, this issue will not come into factor.

. . . Overall, we are impressed with the Hercules Prophetview 920 Pro DVI. Coming in at just under $550 USD, this display falls somewhere in the middle of the LCD market price range. Mechanically, the Prophetview does its job, but offers just the basics. Although we would have liked to have seen a few extra adjustable features (horizontal swivel, adjustable height, etc.) tacked into the final retail package, it fares well when compared to the rest of the market. Nevertheless, performance is where the display truly shines. The addition of the new 20ms response time panel has given the revamped 920 Pro a newly found competitive edge, versus the 25ms response times of most LCDs at this price point. There are some new LCDs available from Dell and Viewsonic that offer 16ms response times, but at the moment, only larger, much more expensive models are available. Offering frames rates up to 100 frames per second, with minimal ghosting effects, the Prophetview is a very good solution for those who are in search of the clean, crisp details of a DVI driven LCD.

Based in its build quality, excellent performance, good looks and a competitive price point, we are awarding the Hercules Prophetview 920 Pro DVI a rating of 8.5 on the Heat Meter.
