**Baddass' Ultimate TFT FAQ and Reviews! (20" and Above Models)**

Hey baddass, i'm thinking of ordering the L1720B next week (£310) and i have just seen a Sony SDMHS94PB it's sexy as the LG and its 19", it's "supposed" to have 12 m/s and it can be had for £455 and have been told it's worth a lot more!

What would you recommend i do? i feel so confused :confused:

if it were me, i couldnt justify the extra cash for a 19inch whcih isnt 1600 resolution. I would personally go for a top of the range 17inch TFT with the TOP looks of the LG1720B and also saev some money too! even if the Sony is 12ms it's not going to outperform the LG anyway really, you would never really be abel to tell the difference for normal use between a 12ms panel and the 16ms AU panel in the LG model. It's a lovely TFT and a decent price, i would go for the LG as you know you'll be getting a class product and you know you will save some money too :)

hth

and Sh4rk, the Q17+ would loook good imo next to a black shuttle. The base of it is black in parts, and silver and black is always a nice combo :) if you're looking for a black TFT try and get hold of one of the Iiyama's perhaps or the black Hitachi, as both of those are nice too.
 
Yo, ive just recieved an LG1710B, very chuffed with it, games are excellent and my eyes are in a good state of health now lol :)

Anyway, ive noticed that the bottom half of the screen is *slightly* brighter than the top half, is that normal for a TFT?

yep common that brightness can vary across the screen, viewing angle makes a difference here, try tilting it, as best to look head on at the monitor so your sight is perpendicular to the screen.......also brightness can vary a little towards the edges of the TFT where the backlight can leak thru a little, this is common aswell

awwwwwwww.......damn you!! :D hehe, looks good, let us know how u like it. send it to me and ill "look after it for you" while u wait for the rest of your rig ;) lol
 
nice...........a 1710B and a 1720B :) i like!!

ill be round in 5 minutes to drool ;) not far from Bristol!! lol

set them both up. Id be interested to hear if u can see much diff between DVI on the 10B and normal (well it doesnt have DVI) on the 20B

they should perform the same as it's the same panel, but i woudl be interested in this. also VGA on 10B vs VGA on 20B
 
well they are a million times better looking in the flesh than you the pics you seen

they are really nice, specially using 2 monitors for the first time, was gonna get one then thought what the hell ;]

one slight problem is the calibration software clearly wasn't designed for colourblind people so I am going to have to see if I can get something better
 
I've been reading this thread for quite some time as I was after a Samsung 172X and after emailing Samsung I thought I'd join the forum to let you know what they told me.

They said that the 172X is not going to be discontinued and will remain in their product list.

I emailed them initially as I was finding it hard to locate one to purchase but I've got one and have just set it up and it's superb.

I'm going to buy a second one and was thinking of maybe getting a third.

Thanks for posting the photo Grumbledook.
 
I got one because I've purchased quite a few TFT's and CRT's from Samsung and they've all been spot on.
I think some manufacturers are just trying to cover their backs by quoting high numbers of dead pixels.
Let's face it, if loads of people were on the internet moaning about Samsung products having loads of dead pixels, who'd actually risk buying one ??
 
well the L70S has the 12ms Sammy panel so is even newer than the 16ms AU panel in the LG. They arent gunna be very different at all in terms of performance. The L70S is a bargain really for the price. LG has DVI aswell tho, whereas Hyundai doesnt (but the Q17 - same panel - does)
