Summary: Affordable!
Review: I am a student and was looking to upgrade from an old 14". This one is affordable and a name brand. Amazon had a great review of the product and gave a lot of good information. Better than what I would have got in the store. Once I got the monitor, I had a little problem hooking it up but I got great help from Philips customer service. I am amazed at what a difference it makes! If you still have a 14 or 15 inch monitor - go ahead and upgrade, it is well worth the money.

Summary: Great monitor / Extremely poor customer service
Review: This is a wonderful high performance monitor. However, as flat panel displays grow in popularity, prices for CRT monitors are dropping tremendously. If you don't mind buying a CRT and are looking for high resolution to run serious applications, I would recommend looking at some larger monitors than this. For most applications running at high resolutions, 17" just isn't a big enough screen to run on. On the other hand, if you are planning on running 3D games, have a high performance video card, and don't want to shell out too much cash, this monitor is a perfect fit for you. This monitor can keep pace with the best 3D cards out there. The only gripe I have with this monitor are two nearly invisible narrow horizontal gray stripes that run across the screen 1/4 and 3/4 the way up. They're really only visible when looking at an entirely white screen, so generally they are not an issue. Otherwise I am very pleased with this monitor. The picture is extremely crisp and clear, and also displays DVD's beautifully.

Review: This is monitor has one of the sharpest displays I have seen on a 17" monitor. Very sharp at 1600x1280 resolution and higher. The warranty sounds good too, free on-site replacment within 24 hours during the first year. DON'T BELIEVE IT. It has been 9 days and still waiting. Couldn't wait any longer so had to purchase a new monitor from a competitor. Last Philips product I will be purchasing.
