Proof that low price does not mean good value.......2003-04-15

An unfortunately case of stylish monitor is no better than its vanity looks. Seven dead pixels on arrival, unresponsive controls, washed out colors (and no black!), and an general feeling of cheapness. Definitely stay away if you make a living as a graphic artist.

Reviewing 171v so be patient.......2003-01-07

I purchased a model that is very similar to this one....it's the 171v. I'm new to flat screen LCD monitors so I'm not into all of the techno-hype. I just know I love this monitor! The clarity is unreal. It replaced a "regular" 17" monitor and it's very nice how true the measurements are when you switch to this type of monitor. I can't tell you how easy it is to use while adjusting, but I can say it was easy to install. I just plugged it in.

One note...change the size of your display to make it clearer. When it's as large as it was during the "default" stage, it was blurry and I was concerned. That simple adjustment made my swimming fish a bit more clear.

Samsung SyncMaster 171S 17" LCD Monitor.......2003-01-05

I work all day in front of my PC, mainly web surfing, XL and Word to write books and reports. It is especially important when I work that I can see two pages "side by side" and "read" as if using sheet paper. I am not a games player.

I noticed with my classic CRT monitor that
1/ my eyes were itching and watering
2/ I was "hunching forward" to read and getting a stiff neck
3/ I was getting frequent headaches.

The Samsung solved all these problems. I can now work all day without discomfort or itchy eyes. It is also helpful when manipulating several windows (XL and word, or word and a photo editor). Not to mention the reclaimed real estate on my desk. Pricewise, it's the best for my needs as I don't need bells and whistles.

If you are a home office worker, this is the monitor for you!

nice monitor, but flickers and screen colors fade.......2002-10-18

I got this monitor and after a few days i noticed the colors fade sometimes, almost how my old 15 inch crt monitor used to flicker. is this normal?
other than that the monitor is very easy to use and sets up well and has a nice picture. I have never had a lcd monitor before so I am not sure if this fading of the colors is normal or not. I tried to return it on Amazon and it told me that their system is down right now for this service.
If all lcd's are like this I might just return this and get a 15 inch lcd since they are twice as inexpensive.

good LCD choice........2002-10-03

The quality is pretty good, slim design. looks no difference with 171B, the contrast rate is a bit lower for a 17 LCD but the text and figure looks clear and sharp enough. The best thing is the price. At this price this one is really a good deal.
