Lg Fatron 17" Ez T710bh Is One Of The Best Monitor
LG Fatron 17" eZ T710BH is one of the best monitors of it's kind in my opinion... the image is Clear + The Movie option is really good for gamers that like bright images .. it's good for those that use it at the office for the text/photo options.
In general it's one of the best monitors of it's kind even if it's not real flat..

No Contest, The Lg Flatron Ez T710bh Monitor Produ
No contest, the LG Flatron Ez T710BH monitor produces the best image I have seen on a 17". And I have used many including HP, Sony, CTX, Samsung, Philips, NEC, Mitsubishi and LG (real flat) Flatron.
As for the flatness of the internal screen, there are good reasons why, when it is lined up and compared against the flat and straight edges of the plastic screen frame, that it is not flat.
Basically, due to Snell's law (light refraction), if you drew a straight horizontal or vertical line on the phosphor surface of a truly flat (inside and out) piece of glass of finite thickness, you'd end up with bowed line when viewed dead on centre from the non-phosphor side. Monitors with flat internal and external faces actually have to draw reverse bowed lines to make them look straight on screen. So get over noticing that glass of this screen is indeed slightly thicker at the corners, relax in the fact that the actual geometry of the lines on the screen are being displayed correctly with the minimum of geometry compensation and just enjoy the view.

Why Oh Why Do They Do This!!! What Is The Poi
Why oh why do they do this!!!
What is the point in the LG Flatron Ez T710BH 17 inch Monitor having a flat outer face if the tube is a regular curved one??
Because of this, the glass is thicker at the edges and therefore it causes some parallax distortion. Plus it's really annoying, the black border becomes very prominent at the corners.
The curved outer screen equivalent would be a much better option, otherwise go for the 700P model.
At least LG don't market it as a true flat screen and clearly distinguish between these and the '100% flat' monitors.
Avoid these.
You’re absolutely right. And also the other commenter who gives a good and sound technical reason as to why the screen is as it is. It's functioning perfectly.
However I think the main issue is that folks expect it to be pure flat when its not. It's a conventional CRT monitor dressed up to look like a pure 100% flat screen. Nothing wrong with that if that’s what you expected. In fact its a fine monitor.
As you say, for the 100% flat (inner and outer glass) go for the P700 or the discontinued model 775FT.
Here is an explanation as to why there are advantages of having a curved internal surface to the screen. Basically, it has to do with Snell's Law (light refraction). This is the phenomenon that results in fish not really being where they appear to be when viewed from a boat for example
LG do make "flat inside and out" screened monitors (Flatron, as opposed to Flatron EZ). Interestingly, monitors with flat internal surfaces have to paint straight lines bowed, to make them look straight on-screen.
