4 out of 5 stars Good 17" Monitor in its pricerange   September 24, 2007

This is not a bad Monitor at all. I found this 17" LCD monitor made by SOYO on sale at Office Max for $ 140 (+tax). But before I bought this monitor I first went and bought a nice 20" inch widescreen for my primary PC. But soon I learned that HP and other PC's have trouble keeping the new driver with the new settings. The PC would simply reset itself and go back to the old resolution setting (1400x1050), which makes for a BAD resolution (blury text) on a widescreen (1680x1050). After googling for a resolution, the best recommendation was to return it, if in time. So i returned it and kept the 19" flat LCD for my primary PC and started looking for an inexpensive good 17"/19" LCD monitor in 4:3 format for my older secondary PC. (Unless you watch TV and movies on your PC, a widescreen monitor is not better than the conventional 4:3 format monitors, which seems to be almost extinct in stores.)

This 17" SOYO is a decent Monitor if you don't want the latest Hi-Tech. The highest supported resolution is 1280x1024! Its 8ms response time is good, unless its for a gaming PC. Brightness and contrast are good. The screen can be tilted (usually not needed). The screen is not hight adjustable like others, but that's ok as we have thick phonebooks for that. This SOYO Monitor comes with a digital cable in the box, yet DOES NOT have a digital connection in the back!! (The analog connection does just fine.) Small Control Buttons are in the front bottom and are a little difficult to push in, but that's ok. I have to check the speakers still, which I can imagine are a litte weak. (The speaker cable is included.)


PROS:
- inexpensive
- 17" TFT LCD Monitor (SLIM)
- good picture (good brighness/contrast 500:1)
- can somehow be mounted on wall, screen can tilt
- non reflective screen (anti-glare; unlike many Laptop screens)

CONS:
- design (made in china)
- NO Digital input/connection
- Distracting BRIGHT blue light (that can be covered up with tape)
- NOT hight adjustable
- probably weak speakers (like all other monitor speakers)

Would I buy it again? For this price, YES. All the cons are minor!
