Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Save space and luxuriate in the slender, perfectly flat style of Gateway's 17-inch LCD monitor. Its 350:1 contrast ratio, typical brightness of 250 candles/square meter, wide (110 x 140 degrees) viewing angles, and 1,280 x 1,024 resolution produce vibrant images you can enjoy from about anywhere in the room.

The display's VESA-standard mounting platform, removable base, and supporting bolt pattern let you hang the monitor on the wall for a stylish, minimalist look (please note that wall-mounting brackets are not included). The monitor is a mere one-third the depth of equivalent-sized traditional CRT monitors, and it uses about half the power, making it ideal for those tight on desktop space and discretionary income. The unit's analog interface uses the same convenient connection as a traditional monitor (15-pin mini D-sub).

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent monitor, August 15, 2004

This review is from: Gateway 17" Flat Panel LCD Monitor (Personal Computers)

I purchased this monitor to replace my old 21" VX1100 CRT which, quite literally, took a dive. I am very pleased with it. First of all, MAN it freed up a lot of desk space! More space for empty cans of Jolt ;) The clarity is outstanding (naturally, since it's an LCD) far better than my 21" CRT even at lower resolutions. I have had it since the model came out about 2 1/2 years ago, and all pixels still work. It should also be noted that it's fairly durable. On several occasions I have accidentally smacked the screen with my paper-holding rack thing which is on a swinging arm, and it still works perfectly. One of the things I like about it is the styling. The silver and black really looks great and it isn't molded in a design as tacky as some other flat panels, like Dell's. I'd like a larger size, but the 17" is very affordable and very functional. Great product.
