<< Anyone have any experience with the Nokia 447L 17" monitor?  >>

I have the 447X, which is fairly different -- mine uses the Trinitron 
tube -- but I like it a lot.

I've had no trouble with it and the picture is superb. I chose it over 
other Trinitrons because it supports higher resolutions at higher 
refresh rates. Also, it can be turned up brighter than most others with 
little or no loss of picture quality, which is important when working in 
a brightly lit room.

The 447X came with a hard-wired Mac adapter that only allows you to run 
at 832x624. I called Nokia and they sent out a free switchable adapter, 
which, on my 8500, lets me change resolutions on the fly.

I was going to get the Nanao Flexscan T2-17ts, which uses the Mitsubishi 
DiamondTron tube (a Trinitron clone), but they're hard to find. Now I'm 
glad I saved about $100-150 and got a comparable screen.

I got the 447X for $979 from DellWare.
