Review on HP W1707 17 Inch LCD Monitor: Enhanced Visuals with Built-In Speakers, Anti Glare & Wide Screen by Sergio Wood

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly what I was hoping for.

This monitor took a little thought to get it right, but once I got it done I couldn't be happier. Personally, I haven't had any problems with glare or reflections. If this is a problem I would suggest turning off the lamp behind you when looking at the screen. I bought this monitor the most for its widescreen configuration. I find it difficult to work with square fonts that make reading text or looking at images a bit claustrophobic. This monitor is smaller than my previous monitor when measured just in square inches, but it feels twice the size and takes up a lot less space. The speakers aren't anything special, but I didn't buy them for gaming or watching movies. I have a few speakers that I could add but this monitor ticks all of my boxes and is a fair price.

Pros
  • The screen resolution is great for everyday work. It has good sound quality for a built-in speaker.
Cons
  • The monitor takes too long to turn on.
