Planar Planar PL1700M Flat panel display Review

The Planar PL1700M's good speakers don't make up for below-average image quality.

The Planar PL1700M's TrueMedia 2W integrated stereo speakers produced the richest sound of any monitor tested for the July 2004 issue. The volume control dial is more pleasant to use than a button. Despite having the speakers at the bottom of the bezel, the PL1700M has a slender profile. Unfortunately, the PL1700M disappoints in a monitor's key mission: It ranked second to last for image quality among the monitors we looked at for our July 2004 issue.
