i have two 17inch LCD at work and 2x 15inch LCDs. I dont do split screen though, i just have a computer for each one.

at home i only have a 18inch LCD and 17inch CRT, and i really dont like the old CRT.

There are actually no speakers on the desk. My computer speakers (Klipsch ProMedia 4.1) are hooked into the tv sitting next to the desk.

How do you have that set up (speaker arrangement). Are you using an external decoder or the pc? j/w :)

Great setup.

How is the image quality on the 1703P? I'm starting my research on a decent 17" LCD. I'll be watching movies on it and do some light gaming, so no ghosting is important.

Thanks.

Yes where did you get that? The one I downloaded from whatisthematrix.com only shows on 1 monitor and does not fill up the whole screen.
