Amazon.com Product Description
Flip between TV news and document work at your computer or surf the Web after viewing a TV show--SVA's EV-1703 lets you do both from one stylish TV/monitor. The 17-inch active-matrix, TFT (thin-film-resistor) LCD screen offers razor-sharp images, an internal NTSC tuner for broadcast TV viewing, and a 1,280 x 1,024 native pixel resolution. It's PC and Mac compatible, too. Image quality benefits from a high (400:1) contrast ratio, fast response time (typically 20 ms), and wide (150 x 140 degrees, horizontal/vertical) viewing angles. With 250 cd/m2 brightness, it's not the most luminous TV available, but if your viewing area is not excessively bright, the set's high-contrast images will still look great.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (no risk of image burn-in), space savings, light weight/easy positioning, and energy efficiency (most LCDs use substantially less power than their CRT equivalents). They also tend to be cheaper and, to some eyes, slightly more natural looking than their plasma flat-panel counterparts, which usually "spec" higher (higher brightness, higher contrast ratio).

Choose from two onscreen languages (English and Chinese) and OSD access to settings for positioning, phase, auto adjustment, clock, image center, color, temperature, gamma, backlight control, and popular preset timings. The EV-1703 offers RGB (15-pin D-Sub), composite-video, and S-video inputs, which accommodate a range of computers and home-entertainment equipment. Its stereo speakers pump 3 watts per channel for clear, reasonably full-bodied sound.

What's in the Box
