  Strengths: space savingsmall frame, mimimalist appearanceexcellent picture quality

  Weaknesses: nothing i can think of

  Overall: I was shopping for a flat screen, didn't have a understanding of what products were available, and salesman showed me the different features. the response rate and number times the images were fed to the screen were much better than the competition. the value of product for the price was the best decision maker for me to purchase.

  Strengths: Great picture and color. Text is clear and crisp. In terms of visual appearance, one of the best looking LCD's around. Great price too if you were able to get it with a rebate like I did!

  Weaknesses: no DVI input, but you won't miss it since the monitor produces great image and color quality

  Overall: I just received my Sharp LL172A-B LCD monitor and it is amazing. I read up on LCD's and what to look for and this one has it all (except for a DVI connection). The lack of DVI connection was the one thing I hesitated about before buying this monitor, but now that I have it hooked up, you are not going to be able to tell much difference at all, if any. Pictures, games and DVD's look great on this monitor. The picture and color is true to life, and this is important to me since I work with colors and renderings. Text is easy to read and crisp...setup for this monitor is fairly easy. And one more thing to add, this monitor looks great! Some monitors are good quality, but they lack in the aesthetics department. This one delivers! It is one of the most attractive monitors I have seen to place on your desk or hang on a wall. The price is excellent, especially when you compare quality in image, product brand and ease of use. Kudos to Sharp on a great monitor that doesn't burn a hole in your pocket!

  Strengths: Bright screen, fast refresh rate, low price

  Weaknesses: Just the built-in speakers but who uses them any way ?

  Overall: Nice monitor for the price. Picked it up for under $200 after rebate. No ghosting on games or DVD playing. Buy.com had it here overnight when all I requested was std shipping, and they shipped it free. 3 yr warranty a plus. Display at other than native resolution is not that great, but I understand this is true with all LCD's.

  Strengths: Great Appearence. Very Small Size. Very Bright. A great overall monitor.

  Weaknesses: None except the speakers are very weak.

  Overall: This is a great monitor for a great prices. The 17" screen is amazing. The monitor looks great and it has a very compact size, even for an LCD. I bought it from Buy.com for 279.99 and got it in 2 days with regulat shipping. Highly Recommend.

  Strengths: It is bright. Also, with the low price, how can I complain? Actually, it is very good LCD.

  Weaknesses: Havn't found any yet

  Overall: This is my first LCD. So I am excited when compared with my old CRT. I would recommend it to anybody if you can get it at a fair price. Also, 3 yr. warranty is absolutely wonderful. That might show us their confidence on the product.
