Reviews of the Samsung SyncMaster 171P (Silver)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Contemporary style; vivid colors; wide viewing angles; sensitive onscreen controls.
The Bad: Panel creaks when adjusted; power cable fits too loosely; some fuzziness at the screen's corners; slight ghosting during DVD playback.
The Bottom Line: This sleek LCD may be a little pricey, but its sharp image quality and snazzy design make it a good choice for style-conscious business and home users.
