Samsung 170t

It response time is slightly less than 50 ms- definetly not recomended for games and graphics and such.

U got a problem?! Then dial 1800-328-7448!

Yikes, that must be why they don't list it. What would you suggest as a good 17" DVI LCD for gaming?

What everyone else is getting and is happy with- a Compaq TFT7020 (25ms response time).

U got a problem?! Then dial 1800-328-7448!

That does look like a good monitor. Where did you get your info for the Samsung? The following vendor (although foreign) is advertising a response time of 25ms for the 170t:

In yahoo I looked upt 170t and all of the websites said less than 50ms. Also look at the fact that it refreshes at 60Hz at native res., not 75. I don't like that. Sometimes vendors only say the rise or fall time to make teh response time seem less.

U got a problem?! Then dial 1800-328-7448!

I sent an e-mail to Samsung to get a definite answer. According to them it is 40ms.

Dear Customer,

Refering to the time it takes to turn on a pixel from black to white is 20ms. The time it takes to turn off a pixel from white to black is 20ms. ovious the full cycle would take 40ms or there abouts.

Thank you for purchasing Samsung.

Sincerely yours,
Customer Care Center

Still not a terribly good response time imo.

If it's working...overclock it!

I’ve seen advertised the new Samsung SyncMaster 171T with what they call an Xtrawide viewing angle of 170º/170º and PVA technology (seems like a kind of MVA). The brightness is 250 cd/m2 and the contrast 400:1 with a response time of 30ms. I didn’t found anything in the internet yet but the advertisement is for Christmas. You can find a little more if you search in the internet for the model 171b that has only a analog conection but seems otherwise identical
