About this product
The Gaming Retro HP VS17 is a 17-inch LCD monitor with built-in speakers and a VGA input. It features a 76 Hz refresh rate and 1080p Full HD resolution. The silver monitor is labeled as portable and includes a stand. It is an older model from HP, suited for retro gaming setups or basic use.
Our take
I found the HP VS17 monitor in a thrift store and it's a blast from the past. The 17-inch LCD panel offers 1080p resolution, which is decent for retro games, but the 76 Hz refresh rate is unusual—it's not exactly high refresh, but better than standard 60 Hz for older titles. Colors and contrast are nothing special, typical of older LCD tech. The built-in speakers are tinny, and the VGA-only input limits connectivity. It's fun for a vintage gaming setup, but if you need modern features like HDMI or fast response, this isn't it. The $100 price seems high for a used 17-inch monitor; you can get a better 24-inch 1080p monitor new for less.
