Product Description

LG's unique Flatron flat tube monitors feature higher brightness, sharpness and contrast compared to typical monitors. The flat tube design (flat outside, flat inside) eliminates distracting reflections and special screen coatings dramatically reduce glare and improve contrast, making long periods of use more comfortable, with less fatigue.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Flatron 795FT is a quality, inexpensive, flat color monitor. This 17-inch CRT (16-inch viewable) offers a maximum resolution of 1,600 x 1,200, a stripe pitch of 0.24 millimeters, a maximum vertical-scan rate of 160 Hz, a virtually unlimited number of display colors, and a lack of irritating horizontal tension wires; these produce bright, clean, crisp images. The 795FT's flat screen, antiglare treatment, and W-ARAS screen coating work together to cut eyestrain. Digital onscreen controls combine with 12 factory preset and 26 user-definable modes for ease of setup and use, while a USB hub (one upstream, four downstream) makes connecting to other USB peripherals a snap. Compatible with both Mac and PC, the 795FT also comes backed with a limited three-year parts-and-labor warranty.

Excellent All-Around Monitor.......2003-02-21

This is an excellent all around flat panel monitor. I use one at work and was so pleased that I purchased one recently for my home. This is not an LCD, it is a high-end flat panel CRT.

Advice to some: Read before you buy. LG does not advertise this as a LCD. Nor is it a new product. My company has used them for over one year. I hope this helps for future on-line purchses.

Deceptive lead,.......2002-02-19

Noting the weights of "flat-panel" vs standard monitors with "flat-screens", you will notice the ave weight of a flat panel is 12 to 16 pounds...standard monitors with flat screens ave weight is 40 to 65 pounds.
This monitor's weight is a dead give-away to being a STANDARD MONITOR with a flat screen weighing in at 50 pounds.
Buyer beware! and be AWARE!

Misrepresentation.......2002-02-19

This product as listed is a misrepresentation and shouldn't be listed among the LCD monitors. It gives the impression that this is a quality low-cost version of the LCD monitors, needless to say, mine is being returned.

Looking before I buy.......2002-02-06

This is a new product so they don't have a picture. If they did you would realize that it shouldn't be listed under flat panel monitors.

LG flatron is top of the line among 17inch flat monitors.......2001-05-22

Can't say the same for 19 inch but here goes my review.

Flatron technology is basically the only one that is truly flat inside of the glass and outside. Others are convex so that like a lens it just looks flat. Well they are almost totally flat but the glass is used to make it look as plane as possible.

The is one of the most recommended 17inch flat monitors on the market. 19inch flat monitors have lots of problems though. Even LG.

If you spend a lot of time in front of a computer screen and want to go easy on the eyes this is your best bet. Living right now in korea has many advantages. And I can tell you everyone buys 17inch flat LG's not Samsungs or Sony's etc. It is that dominant. A virtual monopoly of the 17inch flat market. It is that superior.

When you go over into the 19 inch flat category I can't say the same.
