Amazon.com Product Description

The ViewSonic VG170m multimedia LCD offers good looks and great features. You'll immediately see bright, deep colors and clear text produced by its high (260 nits typical) brightness and high (400:1) contrast ratio. Dual bezel-integrated speakers bring multimedia to your desktop without eating up valuable desktop real estate. And the base conveniently folds up 90 degrees, simplifying conversion between desktop and wall-mount applications.

The monitor's full, 17-inch viewable screen displays a native resolution of 1,280 x 1,024 for outstanding image detail. With an optional ViewSonic video processing box, you can even turn your LCD into a high-resolution TV by hooking up favorite extras like a DVD player, gaming console, VCR, or digital camera.

ViewSonic Wizard software provides user-friendly installation. The included CD-ROM automates the setup process to deliver optimized screen performance, and AutoTune automatically monitors the video input and optimizes display settings without requiring user adjustments. Video and games appear to leap from the screen with super-fast, 16-millisecond video response time and wide, 140-degree viewing angles (vertically and horizontally). OnView controls let you customize image adjustments and color temperature via an onscreen menu using simple controls.

The VX800 is VESA 100mm wall-mount compliant, so it mounts on most walls. This TCO '99- and Energy-certified monitor complies with the world's strictest standards for low radiation, safety, ergonomics, recycling, and power management. ViewSonic offers 24/7 free technical and customer support for this product. A Kensington security port can be used to install an anti-theft cable (optional) to this attachment point. When activated, the user-controlled OSD lock function prevents changes to monitor settings.

With exceptional performance, reliability, and outstanding service and support from ViewSonic, the VG170m is an ideal choice for SOHO, corporate, education, and government users. This model is backed by a three-year warranty.

Customer Reviews:

Great Monitor.......2004-02-29

I purchased my first flat screen. Viewsonic had good reviews, so I purchased their brand. The monitor is crystal clear with no flaws. It is very bright, which can be adjusted. It is clearer than my old CRT, and larger viewing area because the 17" screen is full. Great purchase. No headaches.

Nice Monitor.......2003-07-19

This monitor is sharp. It mounts on the wall or sits on the desk. It has built in speakers (which I don't use--so I don't know how they sound). There is one dead pixel, the rest are very sharp.

Originally, the images on the screen were shadowed. This was a result of my video card (All-in-wonder 8500). I upgraded my video card (G4Ti4200). Now it looks stunning.

I chose this monitor because of it's 16ms refresh rate, which, from my research, is one of the fastest on the market for flat panel monitors. I play Battlefield 1942 with it and it look as good as my previous CRT (playing games was a concern I had regarding flat paneled monitors--this monitor works fast!)

If you have the right video card, this monitor is a winner. Crisp lettering on documents, fast refreshing for gaming. Viewsonic is a reputable name and I couldn't be more satisfied.
