What You Should Know about the 1703FP 17

Short On Desk Space? Older Aspect Ratio May Allow a Little More Elbow Room

Once the dominant shape of both televisions and desktop monitors, 4:03 aspect ratio displays such as this one are falling from favor as people want to a more cinematic experience from their displays. With this dimension, you don't get as much extra horizontal space, which can be handy for application palettes or for viewing documents side-by-side.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Paid $475.00 for this panel. Excellent views. No ghosting and good gaming respones for a 25ms. You can swivel, tilt, and adjust height with ease. USB 2.0. 6 months of use and no issues.

Weaknesses: No bundled software for landscape/portiat layout but my graphics card has one.

Overall Evaluation: Definitely the best bang for the buck. Will recommend to anyone looking for a 17 flat panel. Want more real estate, get big brother 19 inch.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Picture quality, built in USB 2.0, fully adjustable.

Weaknesses: NONE

Overall Evaluation: This monitor is simply more than I could have imagined I would get for the price I paid. I have only had 1 minor problem with the monitor and it ended up being related to my video card. Bought a new video card, and the monitor was like new again. Very pleased with my purchase - would recommend to anyone shopping for a flat panel.
