I use a configuration of 6 of these and as a currency trader in a 24 hour market, these monitors are turned on Sunday afternoon and remain on until Friday afternoon. I have been using these same 6 units for approximately 4 years now and had not a single problem with any of the 6. They all provide exceptional resolution (and are very consistent color and brightness) for viewing my charts. I highly recommend them and am in fact looking for 4 more.

I've had this monitor for 3 years now and it still works great. The first 3-4 months though I had to put a screen guard on it because it was WAY TOO BRIGHT, it was hard to look at. After a few months the brightness wore off. Also the screen gets scratched very easily. Otherwise I've had no problems with this monitor.

I bought a Samsung 172N six months ago and will now be on my third unit. The first one lasted less than two weeks before permanent vertical lines began appearing. Fortunately it was within the retailer's return period so they gave me a new unit. The second one lasted until recently, when it instantly and irrevocably started displaying bands of vertical lines, and became super-bright with severe lagging and ghosting. There was no apparent cause for either problem. Most unfortunate of all, Samsung treats warranty/customer service requests as a game. I have been without a usable unit for two weeks, and still have no idea when the refurbished replacement unit will be shipped. Repair is not a good option since they only do repairs at one facility in the entire U.S., and can give no estimate whatsoever as to how long the repair will take. In my multiple conversations with them not one employee has expressed any degree of surprise that two brand new LCD displays have had these kinds of problems.

This is a brilliant 17" monitor...as good as any in it's class. The only CRT I've seen looks as good (as this monitor's native resolution) is a Trinitron based montior. The others look dull by comparison...including Samsung's 17" and 19". There might a few advantages for a CRT, but this technology is simply the best in my opinion.

Samsung 172N Rocks!.......2004-03-16

This thing is awesome. I use a Samsung 171v at work. When my home monitor started to die, I thought a 171v would be nice. I started looking at all the models Samsung makes so a visit to there website was in order. This helped explain the letter part of the model number. 'N' is for narrow. 'V' is vesa compliant wall mount, which they all appear to be. S is slim and T is thin. These last two are essentially the same except one is VGA input only, the other is VGA/DVI.

I would recommend any Samsung LCD display, but I especially like the 'N' due to the narrow frame around the display.
