What do you get when you mix ease of use, sleek design and
clarity? For us, it's the Samsung 173P LCD monitor. The first time I
opened the box, I thought it looked like it was modeled after the Apple
Ipod from the back. It is designed with a silver/white exterior and sleek power
on button. That's not just the only thing that's eye catching, let's
see what else we have in store.

Included in the box are VGA and DVI cables,
power brick and cord, quick start guide and a cd-rom. Samsung has
always provided very little documentation in paper form. Instead,
the full manual is included on the compact disc.

Upon first impressions, I noticed they kept
the bottom rotating wheel. This allows you to spin the monitor
without actually having to move the base. This is especially helpful
if you have a small or cramped desk. Instead of clearing out all the
contents on your desk just to turn your monitor, you can just swivel it in
place.

There is actually no controls on the
monitor itself. Everything is taken care of through the MagicTune
software located on the CDRom. It allows for brightness, contrast, etc.
customization. MagicBright is also included, which allows you to
flip to preset brightness/contrast settings for text and other types of
viewing situations.
