Hmmm... not a bad unit.

But the question is...

Will I still be able to play HL and Diablo on it? :-D

Mine (Samsung SyncMaster 570b) has 16 ms reaction time, and 3D-gaming looks great, as long as you have Vsync on.

Well you can do a lot better than that:

Look at this LG 17-incher over at ebuyer.com (16ms, great contrast and looks great)

Product id: 65119

It is currently just below £180 quid and it's got some raving customer reviews.

I have been researching the subject for a while and I don't think you can get much better value for money elsewhere now

They even offer free shipping!

(no I do not work for ebuyer.com  )
 :lol:

good luck

Looks nice :-D

Anybody bought from ebuyer before?  Do they have good customer support (should anything go wrong)?  Do they answer emails too? :-)

--edit--

Ah well, looks like this could be the one :-D

I bought from them last night, always deliver fine for me.

I spent over £500 with them last year (including a TFT monitor) and its all fine.

@Vincent

I've heard bad reports about eBuyer's return policy, and they were extremely rude to me when I queried why the postage rate to me (on the Isle of Man) was so high - so I'd never do business with them!

I get all my computer bits (well, most of the non-Amiga stuff, anyway) from Aria - keen prices, great service, quick delivery.
Check out some of their "Super Specials" or "Deal for the Day" items - there's some good quality, yet cheaply priced TFT monitors there... (a 17" Dell for under £170, or a 17" Arianet for £130 which is the same brand as I got and have had no problems or complaints about)

Well if you think ebuyer are bad for their rude responce then you'll find dabs even worse, its near impossible to get a human responce, everything is automated, no phone numbers. If it wasn't for the fact the company I work for has an account with them I'd havegiven up trying to get a reply worth reading.

I got an 17" Arianet Premium TFT Silver with 16ms response time from Aria.co.uk for £134.  It's great for games.

I bought that very monitor from that very shop the other day. First impressions are that its really fscking lovely. No ghosting, really good colour, nice wide viewing angle :)

In fact the only problem is that the Windows colour management  software that comes with it is {bleep}e and created a b0rk3n monitor profile and causes Adobe Photoshop to whinge it every time it starts. One uninstall later and all is well with the world again.

I hope that was just an uninstall of the monitor and not windows.

The problem with these monitors is that the image is that very good at a resolution other than the native one, so if you want a good pic you're stuck with that...
Well, at least that's how it was in past, I haven't bee on par with recent stuff...
