rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author doru - It took me a while to decide to spend $1700 on a monitor. I bought it and I'm happy with that.

First of all: the 1600SW is eyes-friendly. The reading effort is about the same as reading a book. Say goodbye to CRT flickering that can be...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author folken9 - I am a professional graphics and web developer so I am very picky about my computer displays.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author seydel - This monitor has a lot of things going for it- a recent

reduction in price, a novel design with great resolution options, and a small footprint for those of us with a

cornucopia of peripherals competing for desk space.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rootkid - Received my 1600sw just over a week ago. Must say that I have been impressed with it so far.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ceruleanview - I ordered SGI's 1600SW ($1472) and was fairly impressed, except that some incompatibility or defect in the 3Dlabs display card kept causing my computer to crash every 5-15 minutes (my computer is NEW and worked fine prior to installing the card, and I’m...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author GR366 - I caved in and bought the SGI flat panel when I found it at a "limited time" half-price (roughly $1500 in the beginning of 2001). We'll see whether it's actually a limited-time offer or whether that's just the precursor to the price dropping...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ensell - My experience with the SGI 1600SW has been very favorable. The viewable area on this wide format screen is crisp and gives me extra desktop space. It produces 1600 x 1200 resolution on many video cards with modified drivers. Because the monitor uses an...
