HP MX70 17" CRT Monitor

Summary: Great Viewable Area and Resolution
Review: I have recently purchased a new computer system: monitor, CPU, printer, and scanner. This monitor was the one I choose to go with my CPU (see my review for the hp753n system) based on the resolution of the display model in my local Circuit City. Vibrant colors and great readability on everything. Also, when watching DVDs on this screen, everything is clear and crisp just slightly smaller than watching on a standard TV:) I highly reccommend this monitor based on price and quality, an A+ model.

Summary: 17 Inches is a world a difference
Review: I received the mx70 monitor as part of a HP system package purchase and my initial impression (that is, before I turned it on) was that this thing was probably a piece of junk. After all, it was just the "add-in" part of the package and it did have a goofy space age design and one of the notches for the monitor stand was broken out of the box.

Happily however, the mx70 proved me wrong in all respects. The 17 inch display opened a whole new world of picture that I did not get with my previous 15 inch monitor. The colors are quite vivid and the "goofy" space age design actually makes the monitor easier to view as its gray-scale colors do not draw the eye away from the screen.

In addition the menu mode on the monitor is easy to use and has a number of extra features including an advanced features menu as well as an advanced geometry menu that allows the user to change the geometric shape of the display.

Finally, the monitor has an incorporated serviceable microphone at the top of the monitor and whose connection runs along the monitor's connection to the tower.

I would highly recommend this unit.

Summary: An Excellent Picture. . .
Review: I recently purchased this monitor to go with a new Hewlett-Packard computer that I bought. Since I was upgrading my four-year-old CPU to this new system, I figured that I might as well upgrade the monitor, too. Previously, I owned a 15" monitor, and I was very surprised at the big difference between my old 15" and this new 17". The two extra inches goes a long way. Now, it is easier to fit documents onto the screen and I don't have to keep scrolling up and down while I am reading something. Also, the picture on this monitor is much better. The text is very crisp and clear. My old monitor looks hazy compared to how precise this one is. The graphics are much better, too. They are brighter and, again, crisper than on my old monitor. Another feature of this monitor that I particularly enjoy is the built-in microphone. I've had a lot of fun playing with it the past few weeks. Overall, the HP 17" monitor is a great product and makes for an excellent addition to your new or old computer.
