Sony SDM-HS73/H 17" Flat Panel LCD Monitor (Grey)

After having carefully shopped for a 17 inch flat panel display since Christmas, the moment I saw this one I knew it was what I had been looking for. I upgraded to a new computer last week, but as much as I am an HP junkie, I could not buy their second rate flat panel in good conscience. I had originally wanted one with built-in speakers, but when I got a look at the clarity and brightness (500:1 contrast ratio) of this new model, I quickly changed my mind. It is an incredible value for the money, and the rebate currently offered by Sony makes the deal even sweeter. I am convinced that this model is by far the best flat panel in its class and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone.

You'll be shocked when you open the box with your new Sony monitor - there's almost nothing in it. A manual, 2 cables and the display. The instructions for connecting are very brief and to the point. Follow them exactly. If you are using an old monitor, just disconnect the cables from the monitor and use them, rather than the new ones. Saves time. You should be delighted when you turn it on. There seems to be no problems out there waiting for you, at least I couldn't locate any thru the sales clerks. A fine product.

The quality of this monitor is amazing. I purcased the Limited Dark Blue Edition off of Sonystyle.com. The qualiy is simply amazing. It is definetly worth the extra $$$. However I would reccomend the 15 inch version for the typical user.
