I think this is the highest quality 15khz 17" CRT created. Rated at over 800TVL at 17", you just don't find anything else in the 17" size that compares. Plus, 17" is such a great size. Not too big, and not too small. If you actually measure the TVL on this set, it actually comes in at closer to 1000 too.
This model was made in 2004, and you get a comprehensive on screen menu. Not only do you get all the normal adjustments, but if you go into the service menu you can make a lot more. This includes horizontal size adjustments which is uncommon to have, and even more uncommon to have an on screen menu doing the adjusting.
The only downfall is this set comes with only composite, and s video, but look at the attached photos. S Video looks extraordinary. It can also be RGB Modded.
This set uses a very high quality samsung tube, and if you look up the tube you will find that it's actually the same tube used in Samsung PC Monitors. That's unheard of! PC Monitors require extremely high detail and resolve for their uses, so to use a PC monitor for a 15khz monitor is just incredible.
If you ever take this monitor apart, be extra careful. The pieces come apart and go back together easily, so if you're having trouble don't force it and find what you're doing wrong.
