With all the issues they had, even back when they were new, I'd imagine that a working 1710 series display would be rather hard to find nowadays.

Oh man... I had that monitor for years until it went *pop* one day and never worked again. It was a BEAST to move around for LAN parties & whatnot, but I LOVED that monitor…
