My ancient monitor crossed over to the ebon view so I needed a new one. I wanted a LCD but knew I had the most distructive kitten known to mankind. This monitor has a glass panel over the LCD so its tough enough for paw prints (which it does have currently.) Plus I like being able to touch and dust my screen (call me old fashioned.) The image itself is clean and crisp with very nice contrast and colours. The design is fluid and the buttons are ergonimically incorporated into the screen so they are nearly invisable. The screen tilts up and down but not easily so it wont fall back to its originally position or move if bumped. No complaints so far.

From the people who invented WYSIWYG, the graphical user interface, scalable fonts and the computer mouse comes a flat panel monitor that redefines the word.

The breathtaking 17-inch viewable area of the Xerox XG-71D monitor is bordered by a black frame with the control buttons embedded in a narrow chrome strip along the bottom. Everything is mounted on a futuristic chrome pedestal. The display tips 25 degrees so that users of different heights can find the perfect viewing angle.

Covering the entire screen is a sheet of tempered glass, protecting the fragile LCD panel from pokes, prods and corrosive fingerprints. A sapphire-blue LED tells you when the power is on (steadily lit) or saving energy (flashing).

Connected to a Mac mini through the DVI input, the 1280x1024 workspace provides plenty of room without shrinking the Mac OS X Dock. In DVI mode, every pixel on the display is directly controlled by a specific memory location on the graphics card. The result is screen resolution so fine, you can edit full pages of text in Microsoft Word 2004:Mac even though the display panel doesn't rotate from landscape to portrait.

Low energy consumption, compact size and an analog VGA-to-DVI adapter complete the package.
