My favorite piece of electronics EVER.......2005-03-14

This is my prize. I can't remember how I stumbled across it in my research for a flat screen LCD, but it hasn't let me down yet. I've had it since March of 2003 which as of this writing is two years. Since that time the only problem to speak of is one dead pixel (just the green transistor) which I noticed during the first month. In two years I've yet to notice any more dead pixels. The viewing angle on this baby is downright astonishing. I was almost at 90 degrees from the center and experienced little change in contrast. Another astonishing aspect of this monitor is its profile. It's about 4/5" at its thickest and is considerably thinner than many 17" LCDs two years later. Also of note, to this day I've never needed to use the On Screen Display for anything.

Pros
- Superb viewing angle
- Durable
- Extremely thin profile
- Excellent contrast ratio
- DVI compatible
- Wall mountable
- Travel's easy

Cons
- One dead pixel in two years
- Buttons may be too small for some people

Very nice monitor.......2002-12-28

My first LCD. Looks great under DVI. Setup was a snap. Pictures look gorgeous. Can't ask for more: fast response time, .26 dot pitch, 170/170 viewing angle. All cables included - very nice.
Work with both PC and Mac, which is a nice feature becoz I have a Win2000 desktop and also a Mac laptop. Can connect to this monitor without breaking a sweat. If you are looking for a reasonably priced and loaded 17" LCD, this is the one.

One stylish monitor.......2002-11-19

I just got this monitor and love it. Setup was simple and the brightness and colours are amazing. Text is sharp and no flicker (as in CRT monitors) means less eye fatigue.
