Amazon.com Product Description

Is desktop real estate at a premium in your office? Is there so little space, thanks to that big bulky monitor, that your coffee cup can't afford rent? Then perhaps you're ready to graduate to a flat panel monitor, freeing up valuable desktop acreage. The AG Neovo X-174 has a TFT Active Matrix Screen with an ample 17.4-inch diagonal viewing area, but it uses 80 percent less space on your desk than your old CRT monitor did. Plus, at only 17 pounds, it's much lighter than many 17-inch CRTs monitors, which typically weigh about 35 pounds.

With 1,280 x 1,024 maximum resolution, a 300:1 contrast ratio, and color-enhancing Crystal Optic Filter, the X-174 TFT displays sharp colorful images. A patent-pending anti-glare, anti-reflective filter on the LCD enhances the performance of the screen and protects it against scratches, dust, and dirt. It can be viewed from a variety of angles--up to 160 degrees both horizontally and vertically.

This monitor accepts VGA, separated, composite, and SOG analog singals; TMDS format digital signals; and YC and composite (PAL, SECOM, or NTSC) video signals using 15-pin D-sub, DVI, S-Video, and RCA jack connections. Compatible with PCs and Macs, the X-174 won the December 2001 Mac World award for the best flat panel LCD in the 17-inch category. It is backed by a three-year warranty.

It's good........2003-02-05

I bought this a long time ago.

- It is NOT easy to keep clean. Every single fingerprint shows as a fly on a white roof. Then I might agree that it's easy to clean :) Just some windows cleaning and a paper and it's back to normal again.

- It's not THAT great in games. Low color games like Halflife/Counterstrike often shows black streaks, thoug newer, more colorfull (less dark contrasts) games work just fine.

- The very good saftyglass reflects very much. Though the safty of a protected TFT surface is very nice.

- The Auto adjust button don't work in DVI mode cause it's no need for it there - it done digitaly.

- If you use analoge connection, you don't have to press Auto every time the resolution changes, just when you change to a resolution not used before. When you have used it once, the settings will be saved.

Overall this is a very good display. With a 25ms response time it's not THAT good for games, but I think it quite OK anyway - you MUST run in 72 or 75 hz though - otherwise most of the dark areas will have streaking... But as they say - colors are very good. I came froma 19" Sony Trinitron, and that was a little better. Though the Sony had lowsy geometry and was off-tone (blue :) ). And that sucker weighd in at 28 kilos ;) Not nice on LANs! 7 kilos might sound a little heavy but it so small weight isn't really an issue. It's just to take it under the arm and go. And the weight makes it feel very very solid. The only plastic on thos monitor is the little piece that covers the buttons on the right side (feels like the buttons of a copy machine - a plastic "film" over buttons). The buttons and overall design has "industrial" written all over it. It would look great on reception desktop for example. For home users I can tell you that the "grey" metal rear hosuing (well - all things not foot or front glass) matches very well with the dark grey on the Chieftec/Antec Dragon towers. The only bad thing designwise is the round corners. Their funtion is to hold the front glass in place. I would like to have a little cooler desieng on those than just a cylinder.

It has VESA complaint wall/arm mounting holes on the rear. You can also completley remove the foot stand.

I've ordered this and i havnt gotten it yet but, when i do....who-wa-dilly it's gonna be sweet!

Pleasantly surprised.......2002-12-11

Bought mine 3mos. ago at amazon for [money] new, worth every penny. Excellent picture quality, excellent quality of construction, includes all the cables, I can't believe this thing came from China! It trumps every 17" & 19" CRT I've ever seen. I'm runnning a Nvidia G4-4200 card, my only beef is that the autoadjust button doesn't work when you use the DVI connection, but honestly, it doesn't seem to need it. CATIA, Solidworks, and GTA3 look great with almost no ghosting. Mine had 4 bad pixels (out of millions).

Incredible piece of hardware/art.......2002-11-27

I've bought two of these monitors at this point and will probably buy a third for my office. Not only is this an incredibly fine monitor with great resolution, it is also a piece of art. Several people have commented on it and how it looks in my office. Solidly built, great adjustment controls and a DVI input make a good investment for my office use. You get what you pay for and this is well worth the extra money.

I bought the monitor because it was listed as both PC and Mac compatible. But the monitor apparently doesn't accept a digital video signal from Macs. It would've have been nice to know that before I spent the thousand bucks.

BTW, I say "apparently" because the manual includes instructions only for connecting to the Mac's analog connector. I asked Neovo tech support to address this issue -- but they ignored my inquiry.

I'll end on a positive note: Amazon.com's shipping was FAST.
