I've got it down to these 2 but I can't choose. I will be playing games on them so that has affected my choice, someone got any personal expirence with these. I'll be buying 2 of whichever I decide on as well :D
The LG Flatron L1710B 17" TFT Monitor (MO-003-LG)

Or the
Hitachi CML174SXWB 17" TFT Monitor (Carbon) (MO-001-HI)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acata...hi_TFT_135.html
Gah, stealing my question ;)
The LG Flatron L1710B 17" seems to have the better contrast ratio...
Plus its stupidly thin from the looks of it :D
If you're bothered about their aesthetics, if they're purdy, then the LG1710B is the one to get.
The Hitachi one looks the same as mine and although is by no means ugly doesn't look nearly as good as the LG.
Recent LG models have 16ms response too. - available for £325 from technoworld.com
Does that Hitachi play games well on yours?
LG1710b - im using one now :D:D:D
/me hugs it.
Best money ive spent on my pc. ever.
I'm tempted to go for this over the 181T, simply because of its well... Looks/preformance!Quote:

The 16ms sounds good to me :)
The one question im trying to find the answer to ATM is whether or not these TFT's are good at lower resolutions.....
The reason for this is because I play most games at 1024*768......
Also, what games have you been playing on the LG? How do they perform? Using a DVI connection?
Hitachi one is amzing for gaming
believe they are 12ms
mates his games at 1024 on this and u dont c a single bit of ghosting, amazing stuff
if yer tft is mainly gonna be for gaming, recommend getting the hitachi one
yea they do - ive played splinter cell and max payne in 1024 fine. Its not as chrisp as 1240, but still works. *no* ghosting on any game ive ever played.Quote:

using DVI from matrox and Ati card. Cant tell the difference between it and VGA, but i prefer DVI instinctively :)
TFT's really prefer to be at their designated resolution......
When I got my 15" I fell for it cos its has tiny (ready tinny) speakers in, a headphone plug on the front and its got a 4port USB hub built in too....
so its ACE for carkting around to mates houses.......no speakers to carry, small screen, weighs nowt, headphone plug for LANning....
puuurrrrfect
Took me a while to get used to the picture tho....they dont scroll the same as CRT's...cant explain..wait until you see it ;)
i have a 16 ms LG Flatron L1710B 17" TFT and its buuutifull, you really have gotta see it in the flesh :)
games run fine in 1024x768 with no ghosting

there are no 12ms tft's.... that is not the correct rise and fall time
Ive seen 12ms + 4ms before... Is that rise and fall? what is rise and fall anyways :pQuote:

12ms(rise) + 4ms(fall) = 16ms(total). That is why SnArLaX said there are no 12ms tft's, as the 12ms would be the rise response time, not the total. There are no tft's that I know of that are faster than 16ms (yet :D)
