It is Amazing the price drop these have experienced in the last year, Do you think it will keep dropping or will level out anytime soon?

Nice!

I got a dual 17" LCD setup with my Samsungs, for a measly $300/monitor.

Thank god for Moore's Law.

that's dirt cheap.. i got my SyncMaster 172b here in sweden for about $750 two months ago

The thing with these LCD's are that there's too much ghosting on some select games.

On the Samsung's, there's some slight ghosting as compared to other LCD's, but I still can't stand it.

BTW, LCD's are SO much easier on your eyes. The switch is well worth it... especially if you sit in front of your monitor all day long

Those are really nice dude. I like how thin the "borders" are!

LCD's rule. When I was using a CRT I'd get eyestrain headaches after 4-5 hours. I can sit in front of my 19" LCD for 16 hours without a problem.

tical · 05-26-2003, 01:27 PM

How's the ghosting on the Dell's? Ya know where you play games, it has some shadowing.

I like my Hitachi CML174SXW B 17" LCD

Very fast refresh for a LCD and ghosting isn't really a problem. It has a 12ms rise and 4ms fall pixel refresh rate for a total refresh rate of 16ms...

I think its still one of the fastest LCD's out there.
