"The Samsung SyncMaster 174v is a 17-inch TFT-LCD monitor delivering a 450:1 contrast ratio, 0.264mm pixel pitch, 1280 x 1024 maximum resolution, scanning frequency of 30-81 kHz horizontal and 56-75 Hz vertical, and horizontal/vertical viewing angle of 1500/1200. It features a slim design with built-in Power Brick."
A few things stand out spec-wise, that are simply signs of Samsung's top-notch quality. A 150/120 viewing angle is very good, and 270 cd/m^3 brightness gives the 174v a slight edge over other LCDs with only 250 cd/m^3. And lastly, weighing in at 10.6 lbs, the 174v is one of the lightest 17" panels out there. Enough with the specs! Lets look at the monitor.
