Integrating a stylish design with top-quality materials (including an aluminum casing), the MG-17R has earned the praise of consumers and industry insiders alike. The monitor includes such features as a dazzling 1,280 x 1,024 resolution, a 350 cd/m2 brightness rating, and a quick 8-millisecond response time, helping it create vivid images and boldly realized text for a superior visual experience. Meanwhile, the monitor's contrast ratio--which measures the difference between the brightest whites and the darkest darks a monitor can display--checks in at an impressive 750:1. As a result, the MG-17R reproduces richly subtle gradations in addition to bright splashes of color.

The monitor is no slouch from an audio perspective, either, with a pair of integrated 1.5-watt stereo speakers. Additional features include an impressively wide 160-degree horizontal viewing angle, a D-sub 15-pin connector for PC use, and an optional DVI input. Add the features together and you have a compelling merger of quality and elegance in a compact package.

The MG-17R measures 15.5 by 16 by 1.75 inches (W x H x D) and weighs around 7 pounds. It's also backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Just awful.......2006-08-09

Bought this monitor for my wife's computer, and it died within a month. No response - ever - from X2Gen's customer support despite repeated emails and attempts to get through on the phone. Also had a couple dead BRIGHT RED pixels straight out of the box, first time I've personally had that on an LCD but probably not unheard of. Not worth the money you save, I'll buy a real brand next time.

I couldn't find a single online review of this product anywhere, but for the price I decided to take a chance. I have not messed with any of the auto settings--I think the display looks great as-is. I have found only one bad pixel (stuck on red), but at this resolution the individual pixels are so small I have to search for a minute just to find it again. My only complaint is that there is a power adapter between the monitor and the plug (my old CRT did not have one, but maybe all LCD's do?). If nothing goes wrong down the road, I would say I am very happy with this purchase.
