CTX Technology F973 Review

- A bright, glassy screen and automatic character-smoothing technology are the star attractions of the CTX Technology F973. We've seen a few other monitors with a character-smoothing feature, and usually (as here) it produces very clean, legible text. On our test screens, the F973 displayed crisp text, even at small sizes and in white-on-black reverse text. It also received the highest scores on all three of our real-world tests for text quality (multisize fonts, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel screens), earning the only Outstanding text rating among recently rated 19-inch LCDs.
