Most guitarists today think of the USA as the land of the guitar. Classical guitars come from Spain but rock, jazz and folk guitars must surely be American? They know the 'great' names - Gibson, Epiphone, Fender, Gretsch, Martin but few non-German speakers know that Bohemia and neighbouring Saxony, where Christian Friedrich Martin was born in 1796, produced for over three centuries a massive proportion of the world's stringed instruments - lutes, fiddles, cellos, double basses and guitars.Authors Cameron Brown and Stefan Lob are two of the world's experts on the subject and this book, the first in the English language, is informed by many years of research.
The Bate Collection is a museum of musical instruments at the University of Oxford and it owns a collection of 110 guitars donated by Cameron Brown. Half of them were made by German speaking Czech craftsmen expelled from their homeland after the Second World War, resettling in Bavaria, the other half by their former neighbours in Saxony, now behind the Iron Curtain in East Germany.
This book shows the complete collection (and more), summarises the socio-political background and the way it led to the decline - and almost the extinction - of what was once the most productive centre of stringed-instrument making in the world, plus a unique guide to help collectors identify the makers of their instruments.

GOOD QUALITY with a GOOD PRICE to Match!
Size: 24-Inch, Size: 24-Inch
A LITTLE BACKGROUND: I had already owned two small monitors, 24" each, however recently I was rearranging some furniture in the room, of which both monitors were sitting on top of, and during the moving around one of the monitors fell off. Well one of the monitors became unreliable and so I started my hunt for a new one to replace it.
NOW THE REVIEW: Right off the bat two things drew my interest in this 27" monitor. 1. The thin beveled edges for a larger usable screen area, and 2. Easier access to the buttons for configuring the monitor.(i.e. brightness, contrast, etc.). Coming in a VERY close second with #2 is the cost, $99.99($100). Looking at the cost of other monitors small than 27" was a lot more!
So, 3 inches more screen area(than my previous monitors) and the features mentioned above for only a hundred dollars? ...OK!
I had purchase two 32in VIEWSONIC monitors not too long ago for another computer, and I really like the monitors, HOWEVER, the one and only draw back with those two monitors is the location of the buttons for configuring the monitor is in a very bad location to easily access and use, on the backside of the monitor. I cannot see what button I am about to press!
Hold on!!! Wait a minute you might be saying right now... You might be wondering, if not asking, what about the screen resolution, what are things on the screen looking like??
Well that is a great question and my answer to that is, as it said, "a picture is worth a thousand words"...or in this case, $99.99! I have attach a picture with this review so see for yourself.
MY CONCLUSION: GOOD QUALITY with a GOOD PRICE to Match!
I would like to add one more thing. After my wonderful experience with this Amazon Basics product, I am VERY impressed with this line/brand! This brand is as good as the "big name" brands(ViewSonic, Samsung, LG to name a few.) from what I have observed. I have taken a look to see if Amazon Basics makes a 32in monitor, so far I have not seen one in my searching.
Keep up the great job Amazon Basics, I have been so impressed that I have been searching your brand now whenever I am shopping computer accessories. I have two, Amazon Basics USB A 3.0 hubs I purchased before I bought the monitors.

Very nice monitor, am happy, albeit with some concerns described in review.
Size: 24-Inch
I am excited about my new monitor! My old monitor was a combo TV/computer monitor that suddenly would not light up (after about 15 years of great service!), so I took a chance and ordered this Amazon Basics 24-inch monitor that arrived within 24 hours! It is HUGE compared to my old monitor and so far is very readable for use on my desktop. I do have a few quibbles I'd like to mention "for the record": First, the box it came in was all taped up with torn parts, so I am assuming someone returned it to Amazon. I am not clear on what the warranty is for this item, which I thought would be a new, never-used monitor. Will have to clarify this with Amazon. Second, there was NO VGA cable included, which I found disappointing and seems cheap on Amazon's part. Good thing I had a VGA cable for my old desktop! Third, I found the "manual" and instructions for assembling the stand for the monitor to be confusing and unnecessarily complicated. Apparently Amazon has two different models for this monitor and one manual describing how to assemble and use it. I got confused because it has 2 different stands and it's not clear from instructions which one I'm assembling! Further, I found it impossible to put the plastic parts together in a way that offers confidence the thing will not fall apart. I could not get the upright plastic part all the way connected and will be holding my breath and handling it gingerly so as not to have the thing fall apart on me and destroy the monitor! Further, it says to "grip the bezel firmly with both hands"!? What is the bezel?? Seems unnecessarily complicated; but maybe I'm dense...? Now on to the monitor itself: The text and images are quite crisp, which my eyes truly appreciate. And I specifically ordered this monitor because the ad says the controls are on the front. However, I have yet to figure out how to adjust things and I find the present setup way TOO BRIGHT! I will read the manual in hopes of finding how to use these frontal controls, because so far I have not succeeded in using them. I turn them on but before I can figure out how to find the Brightness control, it turns off! Since the screen is not touchable, how do I make changes? I tried using the desktop keypad with no luck. I think there should be a way to adjust controls using the mouse or keypad, instead of being befuddled as I am! I will contact Amazon for help with any lingering problems and to clarify the warranty. So far, I'm happy with this larger, more legible screen, especially after using cell phones and tablets which have literally wrecked my vision! Thanks, Amazon, for this beautiful monitor and speedy delivery. I do think you should give us a courtesy credit for the missing VGA cable! ;-P

Solid monitor choice
Size: 24-Inch
These monitors are awesome and at a great price also. I am a display gamer nerd. While im not using it for gaming I mention that because im picky and I test these things with measurement equipment. These are solid for the price.

Excellent Monitor for Work and Everyday Use
Size: 24-Inch
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this Amazon Basics 24-inch Full HD IPS Monitor. The 1080P resolution looks crisp and clear, and the IPS panel provides excellent color accuracy and wide viewing angles, making it great for both office work and everyday entertainment.
The 75 Hz refresh rate gives everything a smoother feel compared to standard 60 Hz monitors, whether I’m browsing the web, working on documents, or watching videos. The screen size is perfect for a home office setup, offering plenty of workspace without taking up too much room on the desk.
One feature I really appreciate is the adjustable stand. It’s easy to find a comfortable viewing position, which helps during long work sessions. The monitor also includes HDMI, DisplayPort, and VGA inputs, making it compatible with a wide range of devices. The VESA mounting option is another nice bonus for those who prefer a monitor arm or wall mount.
The built-in speakers are convenient for everyday use, video calls, and casual media consumption, eliminating the need for separate speakers in many situations. While they won’t replace a dedicated sound system, they perform well for their intended purpose.
Considering the image quality, connectivity options, adjustable stand, and included features, this monitor offers outstanding value for the money. It’s lightweight, easy to set up, and delivers reliable performance right out of the box.
Overall, this is an excellent budget-friendly monitor that provides everything most users need for work, studying, browsing, and entertainment. Highly recommended.

Great Monitor
Size: 24-Inch
I was surprised by the quality of this monitor. Maybe it's because I'm used to my older monitor but this one is so clear and crisp. Does everything I needed it to do. Can't think of anything negative.
