I've had one of these monitors for quite a while, in fact, over a year. It was a Christmas present (Lucky me :-) When I first unpacked it I was struck by the sheer size of it! I was used ot a puny 14" machine and this is quite a bit different. I'm not a trained engineer or anything but I really like the picture. Its absolutely sharp all over and there are no bends in the image at all. The picture is also VERY flicker free and great for the eyes.

I also have 2 friends that bought CTX monitors and they've had no problems at all. When I'm looking to buy a monitor, CTX is always the brand I'm trying to find first. ...

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 ...
