A 1,280 x 1,024 maximum resolution, 30 to 80 kHz horizontal frequency, and 0.26mm pixel pitch combine with a 400:1 contrast ratio and 250cd/m2 of brightness to bring users bright, clear, true-to-life images for a wide variety of professional and home applications.

Easy-to-use onscreen digital controls let users optimize their display image, while 150 degrees of both tilt and swivel help you get just the right viewing angle. The VG171 has a typical response time of 40ms and has an estimated 50,000-hour light source life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bright color - not widest viewing angle, January 21, 2004

By	L. Phillips "lyman123" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been using this monitor for about 1 1/2 years. I am very pleased with it. I wanted something flicker free, clear and that would last for a while.

This monitor has both analogue and digital inputs, so I can get the best use out of my new graphics cards.

Like many LCD monitors, the viewing angle is not as wide as I would like, but since most of my work is right in front of it at my desk that is hardly an issue.

I do not really play many games on it, but the few that I have played have not displayed any significant screen lag (Half Life, Need for Speed).

This monitor is relatively expensive, but it seems well built and with the digital connector should last me for years more.
