HP MX70 17" CRT Monitor

Product Review

A simple 17-inch monitor from HP, the MX70 is a high quality CRT that comes with a number of useful features and an attractive price tag. A maximum non-interlaced resolution of 1,280 x 1,024 and 85 Hz maximum refresh rate (at 1,024 x 768) combine with a 0.27 mm dot pitch to provide detailed images suitable for a wide variety of home and home office uses. The 15.8-inch viewable image has a 90-degree black matrix, P22 medium short persistence phosphor tube, while an anti-glare screen treatment helps cut back on harmful reflections and the resulting eye-strain.

Built-in speaker mounts are provided for use with optional HP Polk audio speakers, while the base has a 60-degree swivel and a 5-degree forward, 15-degree back tilt. The MX70 is PC compatible only, connecting via a 15-pin mini D-sub cable and is a plug-and-play monitor, ready to use right out of the box. With the onscreen controls, you can adjust a wide variety of monitor settings, including pincushion, brightness, contrast, H/V position, H/V size, color temperature, and much more.

The 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power source consumes approximately 90 watts during normal operation, and around 5 watts during sleep mode. The MX70 has a 16.3-by-17.4-inch footprint and weighs 33 pounds. Energy Star certified, the MX70 also comes backed with a one-year limited exchange warranty.
