Preview @ AnandTechWithout a doubt, we will start seeing Shuttle's XP17 LCD in retail and online channels very soon. There are a lot of great things going for this little LCD: good response time, lightweight, small footprint and high quality construction.
Hopefully, in a future version of the monitor, Shuttle will modify their glass bezel slightly to incorporate better anti-reflective and anti-glare coatings. The XP17 tilts upwards at a slight angle, which also contributes to its issues with reflection. We did not have any reflection issues with the similar AG Neovo S-17 and S-18 monitors that we reviewed in the past. [...]

Review @ HotHardwareThe Shuttle XP17 17" Flat Panel LCD display has an MSRP of $649 which includes the custom carrying case. This puts the XP17 a bit on the high end of the 17" LCD scale, in terms of price. In fact, panels from Samsung and others with competitive pixel response times, can be had these days for around $500. However, they'll come with a considerably larger footprint with their bulky bases. The XP17's strong suit is definitely its elegant, sleek design. It has a very compact form factor and is extremely portable.
Image quality wise, the XP17 is about on par with many of the latest high end 17" LCDs on the market. However, the allure of that polished glass face plate, definitely is easy on the eyes, as long as your lighting conditions are right and glare is in check. In the final analysis, this new entry from Shuttle in the flat panel display market has to be considered along with the rest of the field in its class. In general, we'd say Shuttle hit the mark with a nice combination of elegance and function in the XP17. However, better deals are available, if you want to stick with that bulky standard full base model that we've been living with all this time. We're giving the Shuttle XP17 an 8 on the HotHardware.com Heat Meter.
