Full review
I had this TFT included in the price of a new PC direct from Dell. I have to admit, that when I first was aware of receiving the TFT screen for free, I didnt think that it was going to be that good quality.

However, I was wrong. The actual clearness of the display is very good, compared to some other TFT screens that our office uses, which were actually quite expensive ( approx £300 ) This Dell screen has been used for approx 8 - 9 hours a day, for the last 18 months, and I havent had any trouble with it at all, so reliability is excellent too. I havent noticed any change in the performance or display at all ( as I have seen other people state that the brightness fades after several months of use )

Was also really impressed with the quality with regards to deal pixels. I received the monitor and I had NO DEAD PIXELS at all on the entire screen. Very impressed, good quality, and after checking out the prices on the Dell website, and also other sources such as eBay, I would have to say for an Entry / Budget level TFT screen, you could do a lot worse. Excellent value for money, smart modern design ( although the stand could be improved )

Dell - decent prices. So-so products.
Review of Dell E173FP by drewish

Advantages: Better than a CRT. Good value.
Disadvantages: Poor controls. Terrible base. Limited viewing angle.

...with all the offices similarly Dell equipped - and have not noticed any calls to IT regarding faults. Unfortunately it comes with only a 12 month guarantee, which is on the stingy side, compared to other manufacturers offering three years. The biggest downside is the lack of viewing angle. From about 30 degrees either side of straight, the screen looks OK, but quickly dulls after that. This monitor is fine for looking at straight on, but if you ...
...CRT monitor, the Dell is at least cheap. However, if you shop around there are much better deals to be had for the money in this very competitive market. Sirex, for example, offer a comparable monitor (the Digimate Premium Plus) with 3 years parts and labour guarantee for only £130. ... Read review

A Very nice Dell Monitor, and not too expensive
Review of Dell E173FP by painey

Advantages: Cheap, Dell product, Sleek
Disadvantages: none.

The Dell E173FP is a quality monitor, it is my 2nd flat screen and it is a MASSIVE step up from my 14" Phillips. First off it says colour is Midnight Grey.. make no Mistake, its Black. The Monitor can swivel at the back, which is more than adequate to set up your eyeline, it has a few buttons at the bottom to change brightness, contrast, etc but thanks to auto adjust you dont really need to touch these. Response time is more than good enough, as ...
...when you looked at it from a wrong angle, while this Dell looks great even when looking at it almost side on. All in all, a great start for a monitor, and if you arent into spending thousands on your PC this will be more than enough for your needs. ... Read review

Dell E173FP - An Average Experience
Review of Dell E173FP by culater

Advantages: Good Balance of resolution and price
Disadvantages: Could have better colour blending

This Dell Monitor is one of the cheapest in their line, and is fairly good value for money, although you can get cheaper. The panel only has a Vga input so the image quality isn't quite as good as it could be with DVI input. Its maximum resolution in 1280x1024 although it can be run at down to 640x480. When it is at anything but its native resolution the image looks a little distorted and washed out as it is stretched to fit the screen. When at ...
...fairly bright, although maybe a little darker than other screens with a brightness rating of only 250cd/m^2, compared to an average brightness of 4-500cd/m^2 on recent panels. The viewing angle is excellent, allowing me to view the screen at most angles, I'd say up to 120 degrees horizontally and vertically, which is perfect for one person, although two or more people wanting to watch a movie may struggle occasionally. The Response time of 16ms ... Read review

not enought space for my widescreen.
Review of Dell E173FP by davy246

Advantages: Light, easy to move around, it looks great and it's been well built.
Disadvantages: If you are into playing high spec games its not the best chose for you.

...already have a 19 inch dell flat screen but it was too big for my desk because I have a phone and speakers and loads of other things piled on. So when I did get it in the post and plugged it in it word straight away no driver needed. It fits perfectly on to my desk and its ok for watching movies I'm pleased at how much lighter it is than a normal old CRT monitor e.g. the really big bulky ones that take up a lot more space. All I had to do was give ...
...No dead pixels at all yet which is great because my 19 inch as a few when you look closely. Another thing I really like about this screen is the fact I got it so cheap. All in all it's a good monitor its screen isn't a giant but it's sit very useful for home or business because it gets the job done and looks great. So if you need a new screen and it doesn't have to be massive this is a good one to pick . ... Read review
