When I bought my system 18 months ago, I had my head up in the 
clouds with a NEC 17 inch professional series monitor.  It 
seemed to be the one to beat as it own year in and year out in 
the Mag's best of categories.  

However, I bought one of the earlier P90's and wanted to put my 
cash into the faster new 3.3v processor and a better video 
card.  It seemed at the time one could not have their cake and 
eat it to, at least not on my $4,000.00 USD budget.  Anyway I 
settled for the CTX1765GM against my judgement, as the previous 
CTX 14" monitor I owned was crap!  I thought I would settle 
with this 17"CTX for a short while then when I got more cash 
together I would replace it.

Boy was I wrong,  this CTX was hundreds of dollars less, had 
more screen real-estate, had all the modern front planel 
corrections, and was Energy Star and MPRII compliant.  And the 
picture quality for a monitor in this price category was 
incredible.  Matched with my Diamond Stealth64PCI Vram and 
considering it cycle rates, this combination has left nothing 
wanting.  I don't think I would need to upgrade even if someone 
dumped $2,000 bucks in my pocket.

CTX17 65GM is definetly a winner, and since I bought it, all 
kinds of awards have been earned.
