Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

DVS's SAM 17 is a sleek 17-inch monitor (16 inches viewable) that combines performance and reliability with a reasonable price tag. With a maximum resolution of 1,280 x 1,024, a virtually flat screen, and a low 0.24mm dot pitch, the E240 provides clean, crisp images that are ideal for a wide variety of home and office applications. Brightness levels of up to 300 cd/m2 combine with a 350:1 contrast ratio to ensure bright, crisp images, and an anti-static, anti-glare screen treatment cuts down on unwanted glare and resulting eyestrain.

The SAM 17 is plug-and-play compatible, ready to go right out of the box. The easy-to-use onscreen controls include auto-tune, contrast, brightness, phase, color control, H/V position, and recall. This sleek monitor connects via a standard 15-pin D-sub RGB analog terminal. Weighing a mere 13.2 pounds, it's easy to move, and its modest footprint saves desktop space. The SAM 17 is TCO '99 certified and backed by a one-year warranty.

From the Manufacturer

A remarkably thin flat-panel display, the 17-inch DVS LCD monitor delivers vibrant, ultrabright images in 1,280 x 1,024 resolution for intense color and razor-sharp detail. The fabulous 450:1 contrast ratio enhances sharpness, and with the advanced 250 CD/M technology built in, you'll get a brighter image than ever before. The DVS SAM 17 is ideal for virtually any use: you'll get superior image performance in 3D gaming, image editing, video work, and any business application. A special anti-glare screen coating ensures optimal picture quality in any lighting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprising Quality, January 31, 2003
By Dave Lecompte (Snohomish, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: DVS SAM 17 17" LCD Monitor (Electronics)
I expected to get a mediocre monitor for this price, but as I type this, I have a crisp, bright display that looks beautiful. The stand folds up for low-profile transportation. In addition, it's noticably lighter than my previous flatscreen.

I was certainly wary of buying a monitor sight unseen from a manufacturer that I hadn't heard of (and, by the way, how does "I've never heard of this manufacturer" qualify as a review?), but DVS has delivered. I'm considering buying a second one for another computer that I use.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not that great, April 7, 2003
This review is from: DVS SAM 17 17" LCD Monitor (Electronics)
This monitor showed up in my "Gold Box" so I took a chance on it. I wound up returning it because the picture quality was just not that great. It wasn't very clear, particularly on photographs and other images that require a lot of pixels. I tried to find a better driver to improve it but like other reviewers couldn't find a web site. So I decided to send it back and find another brand that was better. So I guess I'd say if you don't need a lot of detail in a monitor this might be an economical choice but otherwise you should probably look elswhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars DVS SAM 17 17" LCD Monitor, February 27, 2003
By Joan (Tallahassee, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DVS SAM 17 17" LCD Monitor (Electronics)
I did my homework before I bought my monitor. The SAM 17 had the best spec's in my price range. It beat most of the more popular brands at a terrific price. I e-mailed the manufacturer with questions both before and after I purchased it. Their response time was great and they were very helpful. I would recommend this monitor to anyone. I am very happy with my choice.

First of all let me state that this is by far the best price for a 17" LCD out there. Therefore some (including myself in the beginning) might think that there is a trade off in... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars a best choice
The picture is clear and the weight is lighter than the similar products. The ratio of price to quality is the best. Read more
