Cornea CT1702 (17" LCD w/ Tuner) @ $600 too good to be true?

[le3tplaya]

Just wondering if anyone has used or knows anything about this monitor. It almost seems to good to be true at a price of around $600. Its a 1280x1024 17" LCD with tv tuner, multiple inputs inlucding DVI-D, and speakers. LINK.

from what i have seen similar monitors go for about atleast $200 more. But bassically im just wondering if this one is any good for 2D apps, and some minimal tv use. Or if anyone suggest a similar monitor, at about the same price, with the same features.

I have tried the low end Cornea MP503 for a week then I decided to sell it.

It has the worst possible clearity among all the LCD I have tried. (I have tried and used more than 10 different 15" LCD before)

If possible see there monitor in real action.

Would you happen to know who sells them?

Ok, i was also looking at the Samsung 170MP but its $200 more and uses an analogue video input. Would that be a better monitor to get?

Is TV-tuner a must?
If not, there are a lot of choices.
Check out dell.com software & peripherals area.

Yeah pretty much, I dont have a lot of room, and it would be great to have both in one small unit. But if it becomes very expensive to get a decent one with a tuner, then i might just have to live without it.

Acctually i just looked the monitor doesnt have to have a tv tuner built in, as long as it has RCA Video in, cause my cable box has an RCA out. I dono if that helps with the monitor selection at all!?!

I saw this at costco the other day. Looked pretty good.
If you pick it up local, you'll save on shipping.
