Pros
Extra-hard optical filter
Pale graphics
Cons
Lack of physical adjustments
Bottom Line
Despite an extra-hard optical filter, washed-out graphics and lack of physical adjustments make this monitor a poor bet.
AG Neovo E-17A
E-17A Review, by Laura Blackwell January 24, 2005
Like the 19-inch AG Neovo X-19AV, which we reviewed in January 2005, the E-17A has an easy-to-clean, extra-hard screen surface. Unfortunately, this analog-only-input model didn't perform as well as its high-end sibling. Commendable text scores on our juried tests (at the monitor's default settings) resulted in a Very Good rating for text. But dull, washed-out images and loss of detail in light areas hurt it on our graphics tests, culminating in a lackluster score of Fair.
The E-17A's design features are somewhat mixed, too. Screen adjustments include five sharpness settings and four well-explained color presets, and the headphone jack is conveniently situated on the right side of the bezel. But its stand permits tilt adjustment only.
Upshot: The AG Neovo E-17A's extra-hard optical filter is a nice touch, but better screen quality and physical adjustments would be more-compelling attributes.
AG Neovo E-17A
17-inch screen; 1280 by 1024 native resolution; 8.2 pounds; vendor does not disclose panel type; analog input only. Three-year warranty (including the backlight); 8-hour daily toll-free tech support.
$370
