hi there

im just wondering if any1 out there hase 1 of these aoc 18" tft,s as seen here:http://www.aoc-europe.com/monitors_lm800.html

i seen some cheap tft,s wen i was shopping today in time computers/dixons etc and some of them looked pretty poor quality for example 1 of them seemed to have a shimmering onscreen where the display didnt seem to be able to keep a constant fixed brightness,every few seconds or so it would get slightly lighter or darker!

the reason i ask about the aoc 18" is becouse ive just ordered 1 along with an sk41g and its my first tft screen so i guess im a little paranoid incase after spending all that money it doesnt live upto my expectations,i realy dont know much at all about the quality of tft,s becouse uptil now ive had crt monitors,but ide love to think the quality of the aoc would be equal to that of my lg 17" flatron,

any info would be appreciated
thnx

i think refresh rates and ms times make a whole diffrence if you are a gamer then you are going to want quite a high res with good refresh rates, i am a gamer and the specs on this are better than the 17" tft i am using and i am happy with it
