IBM P97
December 20, 2001
WHAT'S HOT: The IBM P97 displayed both text and graphics with ease. Our image quality judges were impressed with the legibility of letters in a Word document. Colors in a test photo of fruit looked rich, and fine detail was readily visible.
WHAT'S NOT: With a hefty $499 price tag (about $125 more than the current average price of 19-inch models), the P97 won't suit buyers on a budget.
WHAT ELSE: The P97's high price does buy a high-quality FD Trinitron tube, which has a flat face that reduces reflected glare from ambient light sources. The P97 that we looked at had a black bezel; you can also buy this monitor in standard beige. On-screen controls, managed by five buttons on the front, were straightforward and easy to use. A convergence control allows for horizontal and vertical adjustment, and also allows you to make specific settings for the top and bottom of the screen.
UPSHOT: Though its $499 price makes the P97 a relatively expensive 19-inch CRT monitor, its picture-perfect display and sophisticated controls will please even demanding graphics pros.

Strengths: Big, Black and Beautiful...
Weaknesses: Still looking...
Overall: My experience with IBM hardware has been excellent, and this monitor is now another reason why. This thing is crystal clear, and it's great for doing video work. Got it for $401 out the door at 2buystore.
Sorry, the product you requested isn't currently available from any of our sellers.
