Excellent Monitor,
December 21, 2003 R. Alonso (NEW YORK United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung SyncMaster 173S 17" LCD Monitor (Black) (Electronics)
This LCD is the perfect combination of price, performance and design. I don't have any complaint to report. It is so bright that you have to keep it at less than 50%. The colors are rich and saturated, the contrast is amazing for an Lcd. Movies and games run smooth with no ghosting at all. The built in power supply is a plus. the base is small and steady. The control bottons are the only negative that I can complain about, just because they are located at the bottom edge of the screen and the letters are written in black wich makes them hard to read or see. But once you get used to it you now exactly where to toch. I highly recommend this product.

Very Good For The Price,

This review is from: Samsung SyncMaster 173S 17" LCD Monitor (Black) (Electronics)
I just received this Monitor and I am very happy with it. I had the classic CRT Sony 17" Trinitron Monitor which was still a good monitor, but I wanted space and LCD. It's kind of different to have space on my desk. This is perfect for what I needed, it has a great picture and works well with games. I even checked CNET for reveiws on this and they had no Cons and said you would usually pay more for a model like this. I have Windows XP for a operating system so it was easy to set up. According to the manual any Windows or Mac would be easy. I adjusted the brightness to 50% since it was originaly to bright for me and it looks good. Worth the price

Not bad,

The Syncmaster 173S that I very recently purchased is doing fine. However I wouldn't know who to blame for the broken pixels, but most likely Samsung. The constant black dot and then the blue and red one I see every so often are a bit annoying, but supposedly most LCDs come with it. It's too much of a pain to exchange it and demand for a new one or for it to be fixed, but that's a personal preference. Overall though, the crispness and clarity is amazing and i'm satisfied with that. I'd prefer the neck to have more flexibility. Size is decent at this stage in technology~
