Great value on a high end LCD

After a long market research, I decided to purchase this 17" LCD.

It has the best set of features in its class; small dot pitch, digital and analog input, USB hub, and most important for me: pivoting screen that supports both landscape and portrait modes.

A word about pivoting screens: that's the way to go if you need to read long documents or papers without printing them. In portrait mode the screen contains roughly a whole page, and you don't need to scroll all the time.

I bought it refurbished directly from Dell and have been completely satisfied with my purchase. After upgrading my video card to a cheap-o Nvidia GeForce2 MX, the driver supports screen rotation natively.

In addition the screen is very bright, the OSD is easy to use and the auto-setup function is superb. It uses 120V current with a regular computer-like plug, so there's no power supply clutter or another proprietary hardware that can break down. The hight-adjustable base is small and stylish, and cleared plenty of room on my desk.
