Not for newer games

Strengths: Reliable. In 3 years never a dead pixel. I will forever miss this LCD.

Weakness: SLOW response (18ms) weak contrast (450:1, at first. It gets worse as time goes on). No height adjustment, only tilt. Blurring/tearing above 40 FPS in video games

Great in it's time, but faster and brighter Dell LCD screens (5ms, 800:1) are available for the same price nowadays. Slow response with games means blurring/tearing, which is annoying. Even with action movies there is blurring. I won't say that this LCD is the worst, I have used MUCH worse, but it leaves a lot o be desire, especially with newer games (BF2, HL2, BF2142, F.E.A.R., etc). For general...

Dell E173FP Black 17" LCD Monitor

Strengths: Excellent product. Great price.

Weakness: No DVI

The Dell E173FP Black 17" LCD Monitor is a very good one, with reasonable price and great quality. No DVI is a weak point but it has sharp color and wide viewable angle. In a word, it worths every penny you invest in it.

Great LCD monitor

Strengths: Great price, high quality

Weakness: No DVI output

Great product, 16 ms response time, high display quality, good for reading text, watching movies or playing games. But it is hard to see from an angle downside which is not a big problem.

Dell E173FP Black 17" LCD Monitor w/games

Strengths: Price & size/convenience

Weakness: Does not work with some games. Some text not very readable, esp. labels of desktop icons

With Civilization 3, Cossacks 2, Halflife 2, and some other games, get this message "Cannot display this video mode" and game will not start. This is on an Advent P4 2.8 GHz PC with nVidia geforce4 MX440 graphics card. Games work fine on this computer with other monitors.

Dell E173FP 17" LCD Monitor

Strengths: Dell quality, wide viewing angle, wall mountable

Weakness: No DVI, only a 1 year warranty from Dell

I've had this monitor for almost two weeks now and although I'm happy with the purchase (and the price I paid), I'm wondering if I should have invested in a monitor with DVI - since I hope to get a video card with DVI output someday. I guess for the time being this analog LCD will suit my purposes. It has the typical 1280 x 1024 pixels and 450:1 contrast ratio, making viewing images a pleasure....

Dell E173FP 17" LCD Monitor

Strengths: Crystal clear picture. Swivles up and down.

Weakness: hard to see from an angle (similar limitation with other LCD's. Does not swivle side to side, only up and down

Love the display especially since i got it free with my desktop. There has been a delay in shipping these recently due to a defect in the actual stand. This should not affect everybody (only a certain batch i believe. Hooked it up and it worked without a problem. There is one windows update for it so far though. (Didn't notice a difference after adding the update)

Dell E173FP 17" LCD Monitor

Strengths: Very easy to install. Automatically sets the correct video parameters.

Weakness: Color and resolution naturally still short of CRT quality.

The Dell E173FP Black 17" LCD Monitor (17", 1280x1024, .264mm, PC) is extremely easy to install. One needs only to plug it in! Since this is my first flat screen monitor, I very much enjoy the very small space that it occupies on my desk. It requires little or no warm up time. Since I was spoiled by the extremely high quality color and resolution of my CRT, this flat screen is a noticeable step...
