I rated this monitor 5 stars because of the bang for the buck.
Pros:
Sharp
Great price
Very bright
Great refresh rate
Cons:
Does seem a little small if you have been on a 24inch iMac but what doesn't?
Review:
I bought this monitor for our backup computer which is an old Gateway PC running Ubuntu (free computer operating system based on Debian GNU/Linux). The old CRT monitor was over 10 years old and was fading into history not to mention it was huge, hot and took a lot of energy.
This computer is mainly used to check e-mails, surf the web etc. and I use it to check how photos I re size on the big iMac look on a smaller screen. So I thought this little 17" should be just the ticket.
Setup:
I unpacked it plugged it in and bang it was up and running!! No need to do anything all the settings were perfect right out of the box.
Conclusion:
If you are looking for an easy to setup 17" LCD monitor and want bang for the buck this is it!!!
I highly recommend.
10-27-2008 Update:
This little monitor continues to impress me. It seems almost as sharp and bright as my 24inch iMac which has always been my bench mark for the perfect monitor. But it's a heck of a lot cheaper. How do they make the price this low and the quality this good?

Pros: excellent picture, fast refresh, compact size, very little heat generation, wide viewing angles, looks nice.
Cons: have run it near constantly for a month playing games and surfing with no problems yet so it may have none :)

I purchased this for my 78 year old mother to replace her old, CRT monitor. I purchased it 1.) for the low, low price 2.) on the basis of two positive customer reviews. Exceeding all possible expectations, the monitor arrived in her home within two business days -- free freight. She hooked it up by herself and is babblingly ecstatic with the results. ("I don't even have to use my glasses to read it!!")

Very nice. Use the supplied cable. Not great in portrait rotation.
