The Dell Ultrasharp 1703FP shares the same excellent design characteristics as it's 19" counterpart, the Ultrasharp 1901FP. As is the case with the larger model, the screen orientation can be easily changed by way of tilting, swivelling and rotating to achieve the maximum in user comfort. The height extension is superior to many LCD monitors, reaching to around 5” and, to prevent the stand from becoming stretched when the screen is lifted, a vertical extension lock is fitted. The lean design of the monitor includes slanted edges at less than an inch in thickness, meaning there is little by way of unnecessary space being taken up by the unit.
The 1703FP has a USB 2.0 hub fitted, with a total of four downward ports; two located below at the rear of the monitor and two positioned on the side of the monitor for easy access for those peripherals that are more frequently required. The addition of the USB feature allows the user to utilise temporary devices without having to go through the hassle of locating the USB ports on the computer itself, which is most notably an issue in cases where the only USB ports on a machine are located at the rear. Three small silver buttons control the monitor settings, which are straight forward to use, without having to reach for the handbook.
The 1703FP will provide both home and office users with a stylish, easily adjustable viewing solution that offers high resolution levels (max. of 1280 x 1024 / 75 Hz), all for a reasonable price. The cost of the unit varies from place to place and the best deals will be found through a bit of market research. The 1703FP is covered by Dell for a 3 year warranty period, and lifetime technical support is available toll-free.
The Dell UltraSharp 1703FP is a 17" flat panel color monitor designed to accommodate a wide variety of users ranging from home and small offices to large corporate environments. Utilizing an Active Matrix TFT LCD, the monitor displays sharp and brilliant images of text and graphics with a maximum resolution up to 1280x1024 pixels. Its higher contrast ratio generates sharper, crisper lines and images. This monitor has a wider viewing angle, which allows you to view the screen from various positions without compromising image quality. The fast response time provides superior clarity for moving images with 'no ghosting' - so you enjoy running games and full motion video. Its premium brightness allows for brilliant images with blacker blacks and richer colors. The slim bezel design of the monitor saves valuable work space. The height-adjustable stand (up to 5.1 inches) allows users to set the monitor to their own comfort level. Four USB 2.0 ports - two on the side and two behind the display - give users convenient access points to plug in devices such as keyboards, digital cameras, secondary hard drives and printers. Using a DVI graphics card with a DVI flat panel provides a seamless digital connection - the signal doesn't have to be converted from digital to analog then back to digital again. Those who require exceptional quality and reliability at an affordable price will appreciate the value that the Dell UltraSharp 1703FP provides.
