Summary: This is a SWEET monitor
Review: I have owned this monitor for about 16 months now and still love it. It is big & bright and takes up very little room on my desk. Everyone who uses my computer comments on my "Great Monitor".
This monitor is probably the best 17" analog monitor you can buy anywhere. It's image quality will knock your socks off.PROS: * It is PC and Mac compatible and includes a 13W-3 input for connecting to Sun and SGI workstations.
* Very bright and clean resolution up to 1280 x 1024 (took the top spot in C-net Labs LCD performance testing).
* Optional 4-port USB hub connects cleanly to back of stand for extra convenience.
* Menu and controls are very easy and intuitive to use.
* Generous 80-degree viewing angle from all four directions .
* 3-year warranty, including coverage on the backlight.
* Long RGB cable (5ft) for extra slack when routing to PC. CONS: * It is analog not digital.
* Will not do 1600 x 1200 (I know I'm greedy).
* Only looks good at 1280 x 1024 resolution (lower resolution takes a significant quality dip) - this is not a big deal, but does require you to do at least two things:
1. Buy a good vide card that will run smoothly at that kind of resolution (32mb or better).
2. Bump the operating system display scheme from normal to large or extra large (if you want to read text without eventual eye strain). Overall, this is a fabulous monitor if you: - Need the space savings
- Use lot's of USB devices
- Have a solid video card and don't mind running 1280 x 1024
- Want a gloriously bright and clear flicker free monitor
- Want peace of mind with a factory 3-year warranty

Summary: Fine for general purpose
Review: This monitor is a good value for the money. It is not as sharp as most CRT (tube-type) monitors, and the display is not quite as sharp as most high-quality laptop screens. Text viewed on screen tends to be more or less readable, depending on where the text is due to inconsistent pixel quality. However, it provides great brightness, and compares extremely well to all but the most expensive screens in its class.

Summary: We bought a dozen of them
Review: We did the research and found this was the best flat screen monitor for the price. We bought a dozen of them for our employees (I use a pair in a dual-head configuration at home and at the office). We haven't had any problems and the image quality and color have been excellent. I couldn't live without mine and the price made it reasonable to purchase. Wonderful as far as I'm concerned.
