Excellent LCD!

Review: Exellent image quality! I don't know why CNET says, "fuzzy at small fonts." Mine doens't seem to have that problem. Also auto-calibration feature is very useful and convenient.

Close to CRT clarity
Pros:
Cons:
Review: This is by far the best LCD screen I have ever used. The colors don't shift, unless you look at the screed from 170" to the side, and the refresh rate is as close to a CRT as you can get. The "blur" which you see playing games with most LCD's today is hardly noticable on the 172b. Stick it in a bulky CRT case and I bet 9/10 people with think it is one.
