I have been looking at this tft, how much did you pay? pics would be great, can it be wall mounted?

cheers

Im sure these 4 holes in the back are for wall mounting :)

Just my bad camera that makes the screen on cs source look dodgy, cant really get a good pic of it in action.

This one is a larger pic with UT on, needed to use the flash so ignore the glare :)

I paid a touch under £300 for it and tbh ive used DVI monitors before and couldnt justify spending an extra £50 for DVI with a 25ms response time, I really cant see much of a difference with DVI and without, as long as you have a good quality cable.

hmmm think i better steer clear of that then
why o why did they produce the 17" version without dvi output

ps does the DVI really make that much difference?

I can comment on that, i personally own the L1720B, my first thoughts were, it has no dvi so the quality is gonna be awful, i then read up on a lot of reviews and with the help of baddass i decided to take the plunge and i'm more than happy i did, the quality is amazing! I compared with my brother's L1710B using DVI i noticed no difference at all! The Vga connaction is top notch,

You can't go wrong to tbh

what colour is the tft, silver?
 
Its misleading from the pics but its more of a light grey... I can get some daytime pics that will show it up better tomorrow.

My head hurts now.......

hi guys, i'm new to the forum and am looking for some sound advice........

i'm looking to get a TFT monitor and have a few in mind but would really appreciate some guiding.......

first off, the sharp LL-171G-B ........ has a very good write up in custom pc magazine (issue 12/Sept 04) very highly rated for gaming, even though its a 20 ms monitor they notice no difference to a good 16ms monitor.

next is the LG flatron L1710B, listed top in PC Zones buyers guide.

Another one i'm looking at is the samsung 710T, although the review i read (found a link on here somewhere) was for the analogue version, i assume the DVI version will be just as good.

finally, the Hyundai ImageQuest Q17, reading through the forums, it seems a lot of you guys have this monitor.

I use my pc for gaming, i currently have a 19" CRT and its starting to die on me. I play FPS such as battlefield 1942, vietnam and the soon to be released half life 2 and would really like a TFT monitor to kinda catch up with the 21st century and maybe even reclaim some much needed desk space.

finally should i wait for the BenQ monitors with a response time of 8ms which i understand will be out sometime soon or will they probably exceed my budget of £350.00 maximum ?

thanks in advance......
 
welcome to OcUK :)

personally i would go with either the LG1710B or the Q17+ out of that list. Proven to be excellent monitors and well established as two of the best u can get. out of those 2 tho, its a very tough choice. you should have no problems at all with those 2

i would personally stay clear of the Samsung 710T and the Sharp, but im sure they are great too.....just not as great as the Q17 or the LG

i wouldnt bother waiting for the 8ms panels tbh, they will prob be a bit more expensive and the panels around atm are fine anyway in terms of performance.
 
Thanks for such a swift response............i'l go and check out the 2 monitors you've suggested and try to come to some decision.

Its nice to find a friendy forum when it comes to tech stuff, been on a few where the peeps are so anal and not very friendly :(

no problems. this is the best forum in the world. ppl are always helpful and friendly. any more questions, just ask
 
ok, just searched for the Q17+ as that one seems to appeal to me more and i've come across another Q17 called the Q17S+.



Any ideas what the difference is between the 2 if any ? It says it has the same viewable area as a 19" CRT monitor, is this normal for TFT's or are they normally slightly smaller..........i'm using a 19" CRT now and kinda hope i don't lose too much screen area.

17inch TFT's are exactly that, 17inch viewable. a 19inch CRT however will have anything from about 17-18 inches viewable.......
 
Hello ppl, 1st time here... Well, im here just to ask your opinion about the Hyundai imagequest 17N 17" 12ms and LG 1730SN 12ms, do u think they r a good buy? For gaming and DVD's ?

Thanks.

I have recently purchased the Hyundai Q17+ and can report that it is excellent in both DVD & Games.
Thrown UT2004, Counter Strike:Source and Call of Duty:United Offensive at it and not a sign of ghosting, tearing etc.
Also has a nice bright picture and has pretty good colour reproduction.
I am very happy with it.

Take a look at the sharp LL-172G 17" LCD Monitor.

I just brought one the other day and it runs at 16ms with a DVI and its only 270 inc vat and deliv from ocuk.

Check out the thread

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?threadid=17309449 for the sharp LL-172G 17"
 
just my luck, got my Viewsonic VP171S Pro Series 17" LCD Monitor

and 2 bright red lazy pixels that i cant get rid of.

any1 had this problem and managed to fix it at all please?

thanks
 
Just to add to this great thread:

LG1715S:

After much deliberation i bought the LG1715S (a week ago). this is an analogue only model, but im more than happy with it. Been playing CS:Source and its 100% fine for this. If youre looking for it then yes theres some slight ghosting but within 10secs of playing CS i no longer noticed it, absolutely no problem at all.

Having an lcd projector i was concerned about the brightness of these lcd monitors for gaming, but again i have had no problems at all, dark areas seem just as well resolved as with my crt.

Very crisp with text (the wife likes it) lovely clear picture.
Seems just as sharp as the 19" dvi tft's we use in work, so im glad i saved the money and settled for good ole analogue.

For just under £200 ive been nothing but impressed, recommended :)
