The Samsung SyncMaster 173P boasts among the best image quality we've seen in an LCD monitor. Even the gaming performance was better than expected, but still may not live up to a sniper's expectations.

With a small footprint, easy to setup software and both analog and digital inputs, the 173P will appeal to a wide range of users.

For visually rich media, the 173P is a top performer. This shiny white plastic and silver, one-buttoned panel is sure to turn heads and open wallets.
