Proview PL713b 17" LCD Monitor (Black) $196.99 (after a $50 MIR and $3 off) Posted Tuesday, March 21, 2006 by David
The Proview PL713b 17" LCD Monitor (Black) is a great screen for both the home and the workplace. Delivering outstanding resolution (up to 1,280 x 1,024 for both PC and Mac), a vivid 450:1 contrast ratio, and 250 nits of brightness, the TFT LCD's images are crisp, clear, and bright enough to permit easy viewing in everyday lighting conditions. The 17-inch PL713b also features a commendably fast video response time (16 ms typical) to make sure motion video and action-packed games appear smooth and flicker-free.
LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (minimal flickering and radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT monitors), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life, space savings, and light weight/easy positioning.
The active-matrix Proview PL713b 17" LCD Monitor (Black) offers wide, 140-degree horizontal viewing angle (130 degrees vertical), letting you share onscreen graphics without making viewers crowd in front of the monitor. The screen is configured in a standard, 4:3 aspect ratio.
Customizable settings include brightness, contrast, horizontal/vertical positioning, an auto adjustment feature, phase, color, and language, all accessible via the set's intuitive onscreen interface. The monitor's stand detaches to permit wall mounting via its VESA interface.
