Advantages: Sharp clear picture, no dead pixels Disadvantages: Driver trouble with video card
gain. there?s even a DOS mode option where you have to change if its in text or graphics.
Automatically configures itself the right display rotating itself is necessary and changing the H and V position. the monitor is flicker free and runs ok at 75HZ
However there are no drivers with the monitor so I thought it would be already in windows XP, I was wrong. without getting the drivers colors are limited to 16 and a display picture of 800X600, as you can guess it doesn?t look very good. you can download the drivers off the internet or wing CTX to send you one first class.
I would seriously recommend this monitor to someone that is looking for a cheap well made 15" TFT. ...

Enough of my self-back slappery, on with the opinion!
A few weeks before I returned home, I wanted to make sure I was ready to use my PC to it's fullest as soon as I returned. What I was ideally looking for was one that was bigger than my previous monitor, a 15" CTX model which served me very well for 5 years.
I surfed my usual selection of PC component sites, and found two monitors which tickled my fancy - a Hansol 19" at a very reasonable £130 ish, and a nice CTX 17" at just under this price. I took a few days to browse these sites, to make sure I had the best price, and the best monitor when I suddenly saw on eBuyer.com a CTX monitor for £136. I had been edging towards the 17" CTX monitor anyway because of how satisfied I'd been with my previous model, and this was just too good to turn down.
So, what can I say about a monitor ...
