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.
VGA Interface Will Connect to Nearly All Computers and Displays, But At the Cost of Some Clarity
This display has VGA connectivity. Also known as RGB, this analog connector represents the lowest common denominator of display ports. VGA is found on most displays and most computers, ensuring wide compatibility. Computers create a digital video signal, so when you use a VGA connection, the digital video from your computer is converted into analog to go out across the VGA cable, and then re-digitized for use on the display. This can result in image quality that’s not as good-looking as that from a DVI or HDMI connection. Many displays include VGA and a digital connector such as DVI.

Strengths: short response time, sharp and clear image
Weaknesses: no DVI
Overall: This monitor is great for the price. If you are looking for a 17" LCD monitor with good quality but do not need a DVI, then this is the choice. The first item arrived with 3 dead pixels. I contacted Planar and get a replacement for free in 3 days. The customer service is great. I have been using it for around 5 months and my eyes are very pleased with it.
