Description: The Hannspree HANNS. G HW173DBB is a 17 in, flat panel computer monitor.Compared to other flat panel monitors on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $150.This unit features a 1440x900 native resolution.
Pros: Its wide viewing angle (160 degrees) is useful whenever the screen is being viewed by more than one person at the same time.Accepts DVI input, which allows for greater signal clarity than traditional VGA.
Cons: Has only 500:1 contrast ratio, which is lower than some similarly priced monitors.For example, the Asus VB171T, a 17 in monitor at around $150, has 2000:1 contrast ratio.
Suitability: Built for those who want a spacious screen that will not hog their entire desk.The 8 ms response time of this screen makes it ideal for fast-moving games and for watching movies.
Value: Given its relatively inexpensive price, this monitor has good features for the money.In terms of viewable size, flat panel monitors with similar viewable size have an average cost of about $190.
