Targa TD15A-TFT
The Targa display is the heaviest display at 5.9kg. The lightest display in comparison is almost half that, at 3.1kg. The screen is really thick and from the front of the display you would think you were looking into a CRT.
The front bezel is huge and makes this display look very unattractive. Despite its weight, the Targa isn't the most robust display either; like the LG it displayed some concerning play between the base stand and screen.
The Targa however has a few handy features that make up for its appearance. It has two front firing speakers and a handy s-video out connector. The image quality wasn't the best, but it wasn't bad either. Even though this was one of the poorest performing displays, the actual image quality wasn't that bad in comparison to some of the best displays.
