Hercules ProphetView 720
The Hercules ProphetView sports an amazing design. Its design certainly drew the attention away from all the other displays in this roundup. It's unique yet robust, and is priced quite reasonably as well.
Its image quality was average, which was a bit of a shame. Our main concern was its contrast. Despite it being rated at 300:1 there were other displays also rated at 300:1 that offered much better contrast.
It had a very difficult time displaying dark tones. Text didn't appear all too sharp and vertical distortions were also present, but to a lesser extent than some of the other analogue displays.
