Presario is a discontinued line of consumer desktop computers and laptops originally produced by Compaq and later by Hewlett-Packard. Introduced in 1993, Compaq has used the Presario brand for its home and home office product offerings.

After Compaq merged with HP in 2002, the Presario brand name was retained as part of HP's strategy to use the Compaq brand for its consumer and budget-oriented products, and was sold alongside HP's product offerings until the Compaq brand name was phased out in 2013.[a]

History

[edit]

In September 1993, Compaq introduced the Compaq Presario, a family of IBM PC–compatible computers in a desktop form-factor, as the company's first foray into the retail computer market. They were one of the first manufacturers of the 1990s to market a sub-$1000 computer, as well as the first major computer manufacturer to utilize CPUs from AMD and Cyrix in order to maintain the prices they wanted.

Over time, the Presario brand went through a number of iterations over the years, which included several different design changes to the desktop and tower cases for each series of computers and many generations of Intel and AMD processors (with Cyrix processors being offered up until the mid-to-late 1990s). In the mid-1990s, Compaq began manufacturing PC monitors under the Presario brand. From 1993 to 1998, a series of all-in-one units, containing both the PC and the monitor in the same case, were also released. The first laptop and notebook computers in the Presario family were released in 1996.

The Presario brand name would later be repurposed for a line of low-end home desktops and laptops made by Hewlett-Packard (HP) under the Compaq brand name after Compaq merged with HP in 2002, and was sold concurrently with HP's other products such as the Pavilion. The Presario line of laptops also subsequently replaced the then-discontinued OmniBook line of business notebooks around that same year (with the brand name being reintroduced 22 years later as part of HP's rebranding of its consumer products in 2024[1]).

The Presario line of computers then continued on for a few more years until the Compaq brand name was discontinued by HP in 2013.[a]

Timeline of models

[edit]

The Presario lineup has been produced for over five generations of computers during its time at Compaq before being acquired by HP in 2002. Each generation includes changes to the case and peripheral designs of the computers as well as introducing newer hardware at the time of each generation. These generations are also known as "Series".

Initial lineup (1993)

The initial lineup of the Compaq Presario series in September 1993 consisted of the Compaq Presario 400, 600, and 800 series. The 400 series came in an all-in-one form factor, the 600 series came in a horizontal desktop form factor, and the 800 series came in a tower form factor. Specifications include i486 processors from either Intel, AMD, or Cyrix, 4–8 MB of RAM, onboard video display controllers, 200–340 MB hard disk drives, a floppy disk drive, and a built-in V.32 modem. These models came shipped with MS-DOS 6.x and Windows 3.1x preinstalled, with additional software included such as TabWorks. The 600 and 800 series were also offered in "CDS" configurations, which included a CD-ROM drive and an additional Sound Blaster 16 sound card as standard, in addition to all of the features of their non-CDS counterparts.

"Series 1" (1993–1996)

After the initial lineup in 1993, new models started to become available as the Presario brand grew over time. Alongside the initial models, the 500, 700, and 900 series, along with the 5500, 7100, 7200, 9200, 9500, and 9600 series, were introduced, making up the first generation of Presarios from 1993 to 1996, informally known as "Series 1".

These new models contained minor cosmetic changes to the case designs and used either i486 or Pentium (and Pentium-compatible) processors, and initially came shipped with MS-DOS 6.x and Windows 3.1x preinstalled, with later models from 1995 onwards being shipped with Windows 95 preinstalled. "CDS" configurations continued to be offered in some models, including a CD-ROM drive and a Sound Blaster 16 sound card as standard. Later models made after September 1995 came with a CD-ROM drive and sound card as standard equipment, which necessitated the removal of the "CDS" configuration.

"Series 2" (1996–1998)

In 1996, a new lineup of Presario computers were introduced, featuring all-new case designs. This was the second generation of Presario computers produced from 1996 to 1998, informally known as "Series 2". This includes the 2200, 4100, 4400, 4500, 4600, 4700, 4800, 6700, and 8700 series, as well as a unique all-in-one unit known as the 3020 series. This was the last generation of computers in the Presario family to offer horizontal desktop and all-in-one form factors for desktop computers.

Most models used either a spaceship (or rocket ship) form factor for the towers with smoked-black CD bezel covers, while initial models used a different case design that had a beveled concave shape surrounding the exposed drive bays. In both instances, the towers had "easy-access" buttons located on the top of the case, which were introduced in this generation. Pentium and AMD K5K6 processors were offered; the options for Cyrix CPUs were no longer available for desktops. Discrete graphics card options were available in some models via PCI. These models came shipped with Windows 95 preinstalled, usually OSR2 and OSR2.5 depending on the time of manufacture.

The first Compaq Presario laptops and notebooks arrived during this generation, consisting of the 1000 series of notebook computers. These models came with Pentium processors, a hard disk drive, a CD-ROM drive and a floppy disk drive, one or two PC Card slots, and a built-in 11.3" viewable LCD display and integrated speakers.

"Series 3" (1998–1999)

The Compaq Presario lineup was changed again in 1998 with several new models, starting the third generation of Presario computers, informally known as "Series 3". Models produced were the 5000, 5100, 5200, and 5600 series. Horizontal desktop and all-in-one form factors were no longer produced; all models were produced exclusively in tower form factors. Build-to-order models became available during this generation, which can be acquired via Compaq's website.

This generation retained the original spaceship design of the second generation Presario towers, albeit with a slightly squatter design that was more rounded. Some models including higher-end models housed in taller cases featured smoked-black plastic "easy access" flip-up doors on the bottom containing USB, audio and/or game ports behind it. The "easy-access" buttons located on the top of the case were removed from the towers in this series of Presarios. New processor models were introduced, namely the Intel Pentium II and Pentium III, and AMD K6-2 and K6-III processors. Discrete graphics cards were now available in the majority of the models, using the AGP form factor. Ethernet cards and DVD-ROM drives also started to become available on several models. These models came shipped with Windows 98 (original release) preinstalled.

Laptop and notebook computers in the Presario family continues to be offered during this generation, which includes the AMD K6-2 powered Compaq Presario 1200 series. Laptop/notebook models used Intel, AMD, and Cyrix processors, and would also be the last generation of Presario computers to use Cyrix processors in any capacity.

"Series 4" (1999–2000)

In 1999, a new lineup of computers in the Presario family were introduced, marking the fourth generation of Presario computers, informally known as "Series 4". This series includes the 5300, 5700, 5800, 5900, 7300, 7400, 7500, 7800, and 7900 series, as well as other specialized models such as the 3500 and EZ2000 series. Several of these models are also available in build-to-order configurations, which can be acquired via retail kiosks or on Compaq's website.

These models redesigned the spaceship form factor of previous generation Presarios in a more curvature shape, and most of them had translucent purple plastic flip-up doors that provided access to USB and/or FireWire (IEEE 1394) ports. Processors ranged from the Intel Celeron to Pentium III, and the AMD K6-2 to Athlon. All models came with a floppy disk drive, CD-ROM drive, AGP graphics card, sound card, and a built-in modem as standard. Ethernet cards and DVD-ROM drives were offered as standard equipment in select models. They came shipped with Windows 98 Second Edition preinstalled.

Laptop and notebook computers within the Presario family continues to be offered during this generation, including the 1200 series, which continued to use AMD K6-2 processors.

Compaq Presario EZ2000 series

The Compaq Presario EZ2000 series was a specialized model designed for ease-of-use and easier access to the internet, introduced in January 2000. It came with two models, the EZ2200 and EZ2700 (the latter being exclusively offered via Compaq's build-to-order program known as "Built For You", found via kiosks in retail stores or on Compaq's website). It features a unique case design with a blue exterior and translucent plastic feet along with a built-in on-screen display with controls, known as the Digital Dashboard. The case also has easy open release panels on both sides to facilitate easier access to the hardware. Processors ranged from the Intel Celeron to Pentium III. A redesigned monitor known as the MV730i was also made to go alongside it, also featuring JBL Pro speakers with blue speaker grilles. It came bundled with EZ2700 models.[2]

"Series 5" (2000–2002)

The Presario lineup would be refreshed for one final time in 2000 with all-new models, making it the fifth and final generation of Presario computers produced by Compaq before they were acquired by HP in 2002. This series includes the 5000 and 7000 series, and later the 4000, 6000, and 8000 series. Region-specific models include the Japan-only 3200 and 3500 series,[3] of which the latter was based on a similarly-named model from the previous series. The initial two models of this generation were announced in a press release on June 21, 2000.[4]

Like previous generation of Presarios since the third generation, several of these models listed above are also available in build-to-order configurations, which can be acquired via retail kiosks or on Compaq's website.

These models are more design-conscious than with previous generation Presarios, with most of its lineup opting for a more fresh and sophisticated design language with newly designed cases, monitors and peripherals. The cases in particular are all new, moving away from the traditional spaceship design language that was in use since 1996. Processor choices were once again Intel and AMD, ranging from the Intel Celeron to the Pentium III, and the AMD Duron to the Athlon and Athlon XP. A floppy disk drive, CD-ROM or CD-RW drive, AGP graphics card, sound card, an Ethernet card, and a built-in modem were standard. DVD-ROM drives were also offered as standard equipment in select models. Earlier models from mid 2000 up until late 2001 came shipped with Windows 98 Second Edition or Windows Me preinstalled depending on the time of manufacture, with later models since late 2001 shipping with Windows XP.

New laptop and notebook models were also introduced, it being the 1400, 1700, and 1800 series. The 1200 series continues to be offered, utilizing Intel and AMD processors.

Compaq Presario 5000 series

The Compaq Presario 5000 series was introduced in June 2000 alongside the 7000 series as the flagship models of the fifth generation of Presario computers from June 2000 to September 2001. The 5000 series was the entry-level computer for value and budget-minded customers, featuring hardware at an affordable price.

The 5000 series uses a brand-new case design featuring removable translucent plastic faceplates, which are offered in six colors. It also featured an optional disc holder on the bottom of the case, allowing one to store up to five optical disc-based media. The 5000 series was housed in a mini-tower case, and had two 5.25-inch and 3.5-inch drive bays.

Hardware-wise, processor options ranged from the Celeron to the Pentium III and Pentium 4 for Intel-powered models, and the Duron to the Athlon for AMD-powered models. The 5000 series predominantly came with onboard graphics for most models, which are limited in graphical power compared to discrete graphics cards. Discrete graphics card options include the RIVA TNT2 M64 and GeForce 2 MX. Intel-powered models lacked an AGP port, while AMD-powered models have an AGP port. It also featured onboard sound hardware. The specs and features of the 5000 series can also be configured by the user via Compaq's build-to-order program known as "Built For You", which can be found via kiosks in retail stores or on Compaq's website.

The 5000 series was initially shipped with Windows 98 Second Edition preinstalled upon its introduction in mid 2000, and later came with Windows Me preinstalled between August and September of 2000. Windows XP came preinstalled on the 5000 series starting in September 2001; an upgrade offer for Windows XP Home Edition was provided for select models of the 5000 series made prior to September 2001 from that point onwards.

Due to popular demand, the 5000 series was given an update in September 2001 and continued to be produced up until early 2002 for most of the retail models, coexisting with the 4000 and 8000 series of Presario computers. Some limited release models of the 5000 series were being made as late as mid 2002, making it one of the last computers made by Compaq prior to the 2002 merger.

Compaq Presario 7000 series

The Compaq Presario 7000 series was introduced alongside the 5000 series in June 2000 as the flagship models of the fifth generation of Presario computers from June 2000 to September 2001. The 7000 series was the high-end computer in Compaq's lineup at the time, serving as a niche product for the high-end performance market.

Compared to the 5000 series, the 7000 series featured discrete graphics card options and powerful processors. It reuses the case design of the 5000 series but with a more taller case, also featuring the same removable translucent faceplates offered in six colors as well as an optical disc holder at the bottom. The 7000 series was housed in a mid-tower case with three 5.25-inch drive bays and two 3.5-inch drive bays. The 7000 series also featured one or two IEEE 1394 (FireWire) ports built into the case.

Hardware-wise, processor options ranged from the Pentium III and Pentium 4 for Intel-powered models, and the Athlon for AMD-powered models. The 7000 series exclusively featured discrete graphics cards with no option for onboard graphics. Discrete graphics card options included the low-end RIVA TNT2 M64 and GeForce 2 MX, and the high-end GeForce 2 GTS and GeForce 3. Additionally, it uses a Creative Sound Blaster 128 PCI sound card (based on the Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1373 chip). Like the 5000 series, the specs and features of the 7000 series can also be configured by the user via Compaq's build-to-order program known as "Built For You", which can be found via kiosks in retail stores or on Compaq's website.

The 7000 series was initially shipped with Windows 98 Second Edition preinstalled upon its introduction in mid 2000, and later came with Windows Me preinstalled between August and September of 2000. Windows 2000 Professional was also offered as an option for select 7000 series models, especially for AMD-powered models.[5] Windows XP was not officially preinstalled on the 7000 series due its replacement with a new model in September 2001, however an upgrade offer for Windows XP Home Edition was provided for select models of the 7000 series made prior to September 2001 from that point onwards.

The 7000 series was replaced with the 8000 series in September 2001 following the latter's introduction that month.

Design and features of the Compaq Presario 5000 and 7000 series

The 5000 and 7000 series of Presario computers featured redesigned towers with a brand-new aesthetic. The design of the towers moved away from the spaceship-derived design of previous generation Presarios in favor of a new front case design with a more sleek and stylish look-and-feel to it, distinguishing these towers from previous Presario towers. Its matching monitors and peripherals were also redesigned as well with the release of the new models, which were made in the same design language as the cases themselves.

Unique to the design of the towers were removable translucent colored plastic faceplates that are integral to the design of the towers. Removable speaker grills and keyboard panels offered in a similar fashion were also produced, which became part of a set of removable parts officially known by Compaq as the "MyStyle Color Accent Kits". Six colors of each kit were offered; one of them was used as the default color for all 5000 and 7000 series towers produced for retail with the other five being offered as options.[b] One out of the five optional colors were included with some 5000 and 7000 models purchased between 2000 and 2001.[4] Another set of removable faceplates and speaker grills known as the "WildStyle Accent Color Kits" were exclusively offered in the 5000 series as an option from 2001 onwards, featuring six color options.[c]

The cases also have small translucent (later solid) plastic flip-open doors for the USB and/or FireWire (IEEE 1394) ports, as well as an optical disc holder for CDs and DVDs, accessible by a colored translucent door at the bottom that matched with the other faceplates. The optical disc holder can store up to five optical discs, with one directly integrated into the case and the other four in two separate double-sided disc holders.

As part of an effort to improve the ease-of-use for users upgrading their hardware, a subset of tool-less "easy access" designs were integrated into the case, such as the inclusion of removable, "screwless" drive rails to facilitate easy removal of disk drives and optical drives.[4]

Released at a time when the internet was steadily growing in popularity, the 5000 and 7000 series were designed with a focus on internet connectivity in mind, with the two models including an Ethernet card alongside a dial-up modem as standard equipment. Its bundled keyboards also had additional buttons that would link to internet-related functions. Both models even included a Logitech QuickCam webcam in select models, allowing for such things like videoconferencing, among others.

Compaq Presario 8000 series

The Compaq Presario 8000 series was introduced in September 2001 as part of the newly-revamped lineup that year to replace the previous 7000 series, serving as the high-end performance model of the Compaq Presario series from that point onwards. It was one of the last series of computers that were made by Compaq under the Presario brand before being acquired by HP in mid 2002.

Compared to the 5000 and the previous 7000 series, the towers of the 8000 series were largely based on the towers of the Compaq Evo series of business computers, but with a beige design instead of black and silver (though the aforementioned design would eventually come to the series much later). It uses a modular case design that can function as either a desktop or a tower. The 8000 series can hold up to two 5.25-inch drive bays and one 3.5-inch drive bay, and featured at least three IEEE 1394 (FireWire) ports,[6] with one built into the case and the other via a PCI card.

Hardware-wise, the processor options ranged from the Pentium 4 for Intel-powered models, and the Athlon and Athlon XP for AMD-powered models. Like the preceding 7000 series, it exclusively featured discrete graphics cards with no option for onboard graphics. Discrete graphics card options included the low-end GeForce 2 MX, and the high-end GeForce 3 Ti200/Ti500 and Radeon All-In-Wonder. A Creative Sound Blaster Live! sound card was also offered as an option. Like other previously-released models, the specs and features of the 8000 series can also be configured by the user via Compaq's build-to-order program known as "Built For You", which can be found via kiosks in retail stores or on Compaq's website. All models came with Windows XP preinstalled, usually Windows XP Home Edition. Windows XP Professional was also offered as an option for select 8000 series models.

The 8000 series was produced concurrently with the value-oriented 5000 series, which continued to be produced with upgrades made to support newer hardware at the time due to its popularity. Another value-oriented model known as the 4000 series was also being produced around the same time, and the 6000 series came later in 2002.

The 8000 series was produced up until Compaq merged with HP in 2002, and then continued to be produced after the merger up until the mid-2000s when it was discontinued alongside other Presario models at the time.

Post-merger models (2002–2013)

After the 2002 merger with Compaq and HP, the Presario brand was repurposed as a line of entry-level computers made by HP under the Compaq brand name alongside HP's other offerings, which includes their own line of consumer-oriented computers such as the Pavilion and Envy.

Models produced by HP under the Compaq Presario brand includes the SG, SR, and CQ series of desktop computers, as well as the R3000, V2000, V5000, X6000, F500, F700, and CQ series of laptop computers. The hardware for Presario computers during this timeframe consisted of low-end to mid-range hardware, which includes processors like the Pentium Dual-Core and Athlon II as well as having onboard graphics.

All models of the Presario brand produced by HP were produced up until 2013, when the Compaq brand name was discontinued by HP that year.

Desktops

[edit]

Many generations of Compaq Presario computers have been produced since 1993, with a variety of models featuring many different components and features. Each computer was manufactured in either a desktop or a tower form factor.

Model number suffixes

[edit]

A one, two, or three letter suffix located on the model number, if present, indicates special information about the computer as well as indicating what features the computer may have, such as the type of processor used and/or the country it was offered in. In most models, these suffixes would be affixed to the model number in the following format:

----xxx

Where "----" indicates the model number in four digits and "xxx" is a one/two/three letter suffix (e.g. 7000T, 7000US, 8540SE1). This format may differ from model to model.

The following chart below describes each of these suffixes. Most of them would later be inherited by HP after their 2002 merger with Compaq, with some of these suffixes being introduced post-merger.

  • T: Intel-based processor
  • Z: AMD-based processor
  • i, N, Y: Configure To Order (CTO), "Built For You"
  • CL: Club model offered exclusively in discount shopping clubs
  • SE, SE1: Special Edition
  • WM: Model offered exclusively to Walmart retailers
  • V, A, C, F, R, X, AX, KS, IL, NL, NX: Unknown

These suffixes describes the country (or region) that the computer was sold to.

  • US: United States
  • CA: Canada
  • LA: Latin America
  • EA/(E/e + a letter): Western & Eastern Europe
  • AU/AN: Asia/Australia
  • JP: Japan
  • etc.

Notebooks

[edit]

The Compaq Presario lineup also includes laptop and notebook computers, which are produced since at least 1996, with many more released in the late-1990s and the early-2000s. Some laptop models were rebrandings of Compaq's other laptop computers such as those from the Compaq Evo series, whilst others produced after the 2002 merger between HP and Compaq were rebranded HP laptop computers such as the Pavilion.

Monitors

[edit]

Various computer monitors of different display types and sizes have been produced under the Compaq Presario brand since 1996. Many of the monitors made for the brand were named as Compaq Presario Multimedia monitors.

Timeline

[edit]
  • 1996-1998 – 1x25, FXx00
  • 1998-1999 – MVx00, FPx00
  • 1999-2000 – MVx20, MVx30, FPx20
  • 2000-2002 – MVx40, CVx35, FSx40, FPx40

1x25 and FXx00 series

[edit]

The 1X25 monitors were the first monitors made by Compaq under the Presario brand in 1996, succeeding the previous monitors that were in use by the Presario brand since its inception in 1993. Designed for use with "Series 2" designed Presarios such as the Compaq Presario 4500, 4600, and 4800 series as well as the earlier 4100, 4700, 6700, and 8700 series, These monitors all shared the same design cues from the towers they were meant to match: all of them had a split lower bezel which ran down the middle. The monitors had dials for brightness and contrast, plus a volume dial for speakers, which also acts as a power button when pressed. It also has a mute button for the volume on the left side of the monitor, and featured four additional dials behind the bottom panel for manual display adjustment (these were replaced with digital controls on the 1725 model). An on-screen display is present for all monitors, which is used for volume control and adjustment. The monitor also has a built-in microphone, located on the top of the monitor.

There is also a very rare set of monitors (the FX series) which are all black and had built-in speakers and a subwoofer, plus three extra USB ports. These are designed to go with the 4800 series Presario multimedia towers (specifically the 4830 to 4882), as they were all black just like the FX monitors.

  • Compaq Presario 1425
  • Compaq Presario 1525
  • Compaq Presario 1725
  • Compaq Presario 1725b
  • Compaq Presario FX500
  • Compaq Presario FX700

All of these monitors came with JBL Pro speakers which could be mounted to the sides of the monitors. The FX is the only exception, which had built-in JBL Pro-powered speakers with a subwoofer in the rear of the casing.

MVx00 and FPx00 series

[edit]

The MVX00 and FPX00 monitors were the second monitors made under the Compaq Presario brand in 1998, designed to be sold with "Series 3" designed Compaq towers. Like the previous monitors before it, these monitors were designed to match the design cues of that generation of Presarios. These monitors had their brightness and contrast dials of the previous monitors removed in favor of digital controls accessible by a button on the monitor. The four hidden dials for display adjustment as previously featured on the 1425 and 1525 monitors were also replaced with the aforementioned digital controls as well. On the MV500 monitor, six LED lights were present on the monitor to indicate the type of control being used, while the MV700 and MV900 monitors removed the LED lights in favor of on-screen display digital controls. The volume dial (which acted as a power button) and mute buttons from the previous monitor were also removed, with a standard power button in place of the volume dial. The MV700 and MV900 monitors also featured a dedicated degauss button. The monitors retained the built-in microphone from the previous monitors, located on the top of the monitor.

Flat panel displays were introduced during this generation of monitors, which featured a flat panel LCD screen. They were one of the first flat panel monitors to be offered for a home consumer PC. These monitors were designated with the letters FP.

  • Compaq Presario MV500
  • Compaq Presario MV700
  • Compaq Presario MV900
  • Compaq Presario FP500
  • Compaq Presario FP700
  • Compaq Presario FP5315

As with the previous monitors, they came with JBL Pro speakers which could be mounted to the sides of the monitors (with the exception of the FP series).

MVx20, MVx30, and FPx20 series

[edit]

The MVX20 monitors were the third monitors made by Compaq for the Presario brand in 1999, designed for use with "Series 4" designed Presarios. Like previous Presario monitors, these were designed to match with that generation of Presarios as they shared the same design cues. All monitors featured on-screen display digital controls as opposed to the six LED lights that indicated the type of control being used, which was only used on the MV500 monitor. As with previous Presario monitors, these monitors featured a built-in microphone within the monitor. These monitors also dropped the "Presario" name from the monitors, with only the words "Compaq" and "MVX20" being written on the monitors.

In early 2000, the MVX30 monitors came to the market alongside other monitors of this generation with a single model, the MV730i. These monitors were similar to the MVX20 monitors but with a refreshed exterior design that shed most of its boxy-styled angular design from this generation of monitors in favor of a more curvature exterior. However, this change was only done on the front portion and the stands of the monitor as the rear portion retained its angular box design. An on-screen display with digital controls and a built-in microphone were standard, and featured silver accents on the microphone and power buttons. It was designed for use with the EZ2000 series of Presarios as it shares some design cues from the monitor it was made to go for. This monitor was the precursor to what would eventually become the MVX40, CVX35, and FSX40 monitors, as they all share the same design aesthetics.

Flat panel LCD displays continued to be offered with this generation of monitors, designated with the letters FP.

  • Compaq Presario MV720
  • Compaq Presario MV920
  • Compaq Presario MV730i
  • Compaq Presario FP720

Unlike the 1X25 and MVX00 monitors, these monitors (aside from the FP series) lacked the side mounting holes for the speakers. Instead, it relied on separate JBL Pro speakers, which were redesigned to match the monitors and towers but are not mountable. The EZ2000 series came with the same JBL Pro speakers offered in this generation but with blue speaker grills.

MVx40, CVx35, FSx40, and FPx40 series

[edit]

The MVX40, CVX35 and FSX40 monitors were the fourth and final monitors made by Compaq under the Presario brand prior to its acquisition by Hewlett-Packard in 2002, and was produced in mid 2000. These monitors were designed to be used with "Series 5" designed Presarios such as the sleek and stylish Compaq Presario 5000 and 7000 series as well as the later 4000 and 8000 series. The monitors were refreshed with the release of the 5000 and 7000 series, which were mostly similar in design to the previous MVX20 monitors but with a more curvature exterior instead of the boxy-styled angular design of previous monitors, fitting in with the design cues of the 5000 and 7000 series. This new design debuted a few months earlier with the MVX30 monitors, with a singular model (MV730i) featuring the same design aesthetics as with this generation of monitors. The majority of these monitors continued to use a built-in microphone as with previous monitors, and all of the MVX40 and FSX40 monitors featured silver accents on the microphone and power buttons. The CVX35 monitors lacked the built-in microphone the MVX40 and FSX40 monitors had, as well as having the silver accents being replaced with the ones that matched the monitor's casing. All monitors featured on-screen displays with digital controls as standard.

Flat-screen CRT displays were introduced alongside the MVX40 monitors and are designated with the letters FS. Flat panel LCD displays were also available, designated with the letters FP.

  • Compaq Presario CV935
  • Compaq Presario FP745A
  • Compaq Presario FS740
  • Compaq Presario FS940

Unlike with the preceding MVX20 and MVX30 monitors, these monitors had the side mounts for the speakers as with the 1X25 and MVX00 monitors, since all of these monitors came with JBL Platinum Series speakers that could be mounted on the sides of the monitors. The speakers also featured speaker grills that were removable and was offered in the same six color configuration as with the 5000 and 7000 series, matching with the case design of the aforementioned models. One out of the six colors was used as the default color for all retail models while the other five colors were offered as options. It also has a line-in jack for audio input, which allowed for other audio sources to be used for output via the speakers. The FP745A is the only exception, since it has integrated speakers built into the monitor.
