Like most 17" LCDs, the native resolution of 1280x1024 is standard fare. Unlike the MP line, the 172x only has DVI and Analog VGA In which means no S-Video, Component In or anything else. The transition between DVI and Analog is quite snappy. The long wait times with the input switching of the 172MP does not seem to have been carried over. The 172x is also wall mountable and comes with an accompanying kit for this purpose. A standard VGA cable and calibration software is included but alas no DVI cable which is a shame.
