 Lara Luepke Assistant editor |
Updated October 11, 2005 CNET Labs uses the DisplayMate test utility to evaluate every monitor that's reviewed on CNET. Every LCD withstands a battery of tests to see how well it renders gray and color gradients, complex patterns, and grids. Though no monitor has ever received a perfect score of 100, some have come close. So far in 2005, we've put nearly 20 17-inch LCDs to these rigorous tests. Only 4 scored 70 or higher, and we present them to you. (Keep in mind that performance is only one part of a monitor's overall score. Read more about how we test monitors). For our top overall picks, check out our editors' top monitors. More resources

| Review summary | The Sony MFM-HT75W is a snazzy, well-designed dual-purpose LCD that will please those who want a display that can work and play simultaneously. | The Sony SDM-HS75P/S is an attractive, glossy 17-inch LCD that's better suited for movies and games than for serious work. | A run-of-the-mill but very adjustable LCD with snap-on accessory cups and photo clips that should appeal to admin assistants and the inveterately sentimental. | It may cost a bit more than other 17-inch LCDs, but it's a stylish, highly adjustable display that would fit right into any well-appointed home or office. |
