Shuttle XP17 Preview: A better looking 16ms LCD

Date: July 29th, 2004
Topic: Display
Manufacturer: Shuttle
Author: Kristopher Kubicki

Introduction

Shuttle has done an amazing job over the last few years with its XPC systems. Shuttle originally put itself on the map as a motherboard OEM, then as the pioneer of the small form factor industry. In order to keep competitive with the dozens of new SFF units each year, Shuttle began to push sales toward its high end small form factor XPC line. As a result, accessory components for the XPC line are cropping up here and there, including the LCD monitor that we will look at today, the Shuttle XP17. Keep in mind that the last time we look at an LCD designed as an accessory for a high end workstation, we discovered the gem of LCD monitors, the Dell 2001FP.

Shuttle stirring the same amount of success as Dell seems fairly wishful thinking; yet, considering the quality of their XPC small form factor machines, we will most likely find ourselves looking at a sturdy, well crafted monitor.

Curious, what is the angle of the monitor since it looks like it is in a fixed angle?

I know the apple monitors have a 16ms response time too, even up to the 30" sucker.

Anandtech should do a 12 to 16ms response time LCD shootout (and maybe give us the real color specs of the 710T, hehe).

It sounds like that 17" LCD is just what I'm looking for provided I can eliminate the glare problem. Kinda negates its usefulness as a LAN gaming LCD if you have to tote around an easily-smudged glare filter, though.

Just an FYI for Anandtech readers: glare can usually be fixed by removing glare emitting light sources (e.g. putting room darkening blinds over windows, switching to properly angled halogen lights) and by purchasing a decent glare filter (e.g. Fellowes) which can usually be had at a good price on eBay.

And if you think Max Payne can stress test the glare on a display, you should try running one of the Thief series. You will *kill* your eyes if you don't have the right setup. If glare is such a big issue, maybe someone at Anandtech could incorporate this game into the display articles?

nullpointerus: I like your suggestion. Consider it done for the next review.

nullpointerus: Yeah, glare was an issue, but plain old reflection was terrible too - which is probably much worse!
