CTX F773

REVIEW

By Alfred Poor

The CTX F773 is a 17-inch LCD monitor with a standard 1280- by- 1024-pixel resolution and a midrange estimated street price of $399. It has some premium features, including built-in speakers and both analog and digital connections, but flaws in image quality detract from the overall value.

Bottom Line

Though it's priced low for a 17-inch LCD monitor and offers some added features—such as analog and digital connections and built-in speakers—the CTX F773 has image-quality flaws and other weaknesses that detract from its overall value.

Pros

Attractive case. Clear screen cover enhances contrast. Analog and digital signal connections.

Cons

Limited viewing-angle performance. Printed documentation is of little use. Image quality has flaws.
