Good Points

Even brightness, crisp test, fine colour and geometry.

Bad Points

Phosphor surface is not truly flat for those that notice. User controls not intuitive.

General Comments

No contest, the LG Flatron Ez T710BH monitor produces the best image I have seen on a 17". And I have used many including HP, Sony, CTX, Samsung, Philips, NEC, Mitsubishi and LG (real flat) Flatron.

As for the flatness of the internal screen, there are good reasons why, when it is lined up and compared against the flat and straight edges of the plastic screen frame, that it is not flat.

Basically, due to Snell's law (light refraction), if you drew a straight horizontal or vertical line on the phosphor surface of a truly flat (inside and out) piece of glass of finite thickness, you'd end up with bowed line when viewed dead on centre from the non-phosphor side. Monitors with flat internal and external faces actually have to draw reverse bowed lines to make them look straight on screen. So get over noticing that glass of this screen is indeed slightly thicker at the corners, relax in the fact that the actual geometry of the lines on the screen are being displayed correctly with the minimum of geometry compensation and just enjoy the view.
