I reviewed Hitachi's CML170+ 17-inch LCD shortly after checking out its bigger sibling, the 18-inch CML181. Although they have a few things in common, in this instance, big brother could learn a thing or two from little bro.

First, the similarities: An easy PnP installation will have you up and running shortly after pulling this 17-inch, sleek 14-pounder from its box. Once settled, you'll want to check out the OSD and its full-color icons, which let you navigate through standard settings, plus a few extras, such as Graphic/Text mode and Horizontal/Vertical pans. Make a couple changes and you'll maneuver the OSD like a pro.
