Actually I wanted to buy me the L1716s as a second unit, after I treated myself to four months a so-called 'top model' of Sony. After unpacking and connecting the LG but I had to rub my eyes properly. The LG Flatron is extremely rich in contrast, has brilliant colors and can be represented by the control buttons on the front panel also easy and comfortable to handle. I'm excited! Or in other words - I have yet discovered no aspect in which the good 160.- Euro more expensive Sony TFT would stand out clearly from the Flatron. But on the contrary. My conclusion therefore: Who wants to buy a first-class TFT monitor at an affordable price, has come to the right place!
