(4 out of 5) by Straulino on May 17, 2009I bought my hp Desktop and it came with the f1703 screen. It is 5 years old now. Almost 2 years ago I decided to find out the public opinion of these screen and found two types of reviews: "Great screen" and "Blackout problems" Well, it worked perfectly until 1 month ago when the blackout issue started. Fortunatly I found out years before how to solve it. The problem is that the solder of some coils is not the best in these screen, seems to be a manufacturing problem. To fix it you just have to open it resolder and put it together again. There are some good walkthroughs out there in the Internet, just a matter of finding them. If these happens to you, try to resolder as fast as possible, if not, the coil migh start to melt the plastic case. My dear screen stoped working for one day, and I got it working in just a days work and 20 pesos, less tan 2 dollars. It works perfectly now. No dead pixels.
F1703 HP Monitor
(1 out of 5) by Web Developer on Mar 22, 2009 (Downingtown, PA)The April 2008 review is either an after-the-fact HP plant (or the person is confused).
The hp pavilion f1703 (sic) that the people are reviewing here is a monitor; not a computer; and it is indeed awful. After owning a flatscreen from a different vendor (and being impressed with it); I added the HP f1703 in 2005.
I was shocked to encounter a: the screen blacking out issue reported by many, and b: the same poor, denying culpability, HP support. After many calls, I *finally* got through to the one :-) HP person that understood.
I was able to trade the Brand New f1703 that I had purchased, for a used, refurbished one, from someone else; that included a few (annoyingly placed) dead pixels upon arrival.
I recommend hardware to customers.
The f1703; dead IPAQs; and a huge 4500n color laser that came dead on arrival has caused me not to recommend HP at all in 4 years. I used to be a big HP proponent, before seeing their quality fall off a lot after 2000.

HP quality is what I expect and what I see!

HP Pavilion Review.
(5 out of 5) by Penny Cat on Jul 28, 2005We love this product. It gives a large, clear picture that is easy to see in any light. We would recommend it as a great value. We are still waiting for our rebate however. (after approx. 3 wks)

Good monitor
(5 out of 5) by BM on Jan 21, 2005Had it for 2 years and I've noticed no problems with it. I also like how the speakers included with it can be powered from the monitor itself. It saves me an outlet.
