So far so good, my first LCD

Pros adjustable height and rotation (horizontal), 16ms response time, rotates 90 degrees...
Cons price, unit a little heavy than expected.
Recommended it? Yes

This is my first LCD and I'm very happy with it. I have own it for 3 years now, and everything seems to be working great.

Out of the box the unit is a little heavy than expected, but tons lighter than my 17 CRT. 17" in LCD means 17" whereas 17" CRT varies, but surely less than 17".

Pros Great Picture, Large Viewing area, Very easy to calibrate.
Cons Power Button not as sensitive as my old CRT power button

The image quality and accuracy of this monitor is plain great. With the card set at 32bits or 16bits this monitor gives excellent colors. The default color temperature varies on the card quality it is connected to.
The menu is very simple to use; it is on color and includes all the tools... Read full review »

I can honestly say that I will never go back to CRT...I purchased this monitor (for my son) at the same time as the Samsung 730B. It was $80 less!(http://www.epinions.com/SAMSUNG_Syncmaster_17_Inch_LCD_Digital_Analog_Monitor_730B_730B/display_~reviews).
This one looks just as good. It may not... Read full review »
