ViewSonic N1700W 17-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV
great product at a good price
For some reason, it is listed separately as the model N1700W although they are the same monitor.  After I ordered this, I found the 3/3 negative reviews on the N1700W listing on amazon, I was worried.  However, this is an editor's choice at PC mag on 11/2003, it can't be that bad.<br />After the order at Amazon, I recieved it from J&R in just two days.  Like some other reviewers say, the control buttons on the monitor is too sensitive, but I find the buttons on the remote quite easy to use.  So I probably won't need to touch those buttons on the monitor again.<br />The picture quality is decent.  At first, I find the color non-uniform, but it turns out that my video card is not set at the recommended refresh rate of 60 Hz. After that, the image is sharp and clear.  As with most other LCDs, only the native resolution (1280x768) works best.<br />If you are like myself planning to use the DVI output, it doesn't come with the cable.  Make sure you order one somewhere.<br />There is a rebate ending 5/1/04; but it only applies to certain retailers (J&R and others).  Check carefully before you purchase.  With the rebate, it is priced just a little more than some other 17\\" LCDs.  But with wide-screen, and DVI output, and built-in speakers, and TV turner with PIP and composite video input, you don't find these everyday.
