Dell UltraSharp 1702FP Review

by By Rebecca Freed

- WHAT'S HOT: The Dell UltraSharp 1702FP provides plenty of tools for fine-tuning the unit's image, including on-screen controls to adjust horizontal and vertical size, the clock, and the phase (although these adjustments are not needed with a digital video signal, so they're available only when using the analog interface). To prevent inadvertent changes to the monitor's settings, the on-screen display can be locked, which may be useful to IS managers or parents hoping to minimize meddling by inexperienced users. This model's image-quality scores improved a bit when we retested it for our May 2003 Top 10 17-Inch LCD Monitors. In our revised tests, it earned the second-highest scores for graphics quality. Using the unit's digital video input, the monitor produced lively colors on photo test screens, with bright hues and sharp details. A Web page revealed subtle shades of color on art images.

User Reviews for Dell 1702FP

Reviewed by: DynoMac

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Good image quality, works well with Dell products. Can be used to share with two sytems, in my case, shared by my Mac and Dell.

Weaknesses: Very poor support from Dell. Dell claims it's covered by a three year warranty, but beware if you buy it with a Dell system Then the warranty is only one year.

Overall Evaluation: I was very disappointed with this monitor. Although it has fairly high image quality, after about a year, "burn marks" developed in the center and upper right edges of the screen. Dell's Technical Support refused to replace the unit because it was shipped with my Dell system which was only covered for a year. That inspite of the fact that Dell's own site claims a three year warranty.I would NOT recommend this product, because of the poor support Dell provided.
