XtremeComputing has posted a review on the NEC MultiSync 70GX2 17inch LCD monitor. With a 4ms typc response time and 700-1 cd rating this monitor should satisfy most gamers needs. Here's a taster:

Now there is the current debate that response time doesn't mean a thing in the long run as its hardly noticeable, but those of us that can run a test on a 17 inch with a avg 12ms time on the machine and then one with a avg 4ms can tell you it does make a difference. Take Battlefield 2 and CS source (used for example) on the 12ms some ghosting occurred now and then but it was noticeable, not a lot but you knew it was still there, on oblivion it became more obvious especially near the water when circling the mouse at high speed. But on the NEC GX2 17 it was hardly noticeable. I have to say the first LCD to make me think that I could change my main rigs CRT soon.

Pro's
- Excellent color reproduction
- Nice design
- Cable tidy stand
- Performed well across all games
- Easy to use and setup
- DVI cable in the box

Con's
- Awkward to remove stand
- Price may be a bit high for some

I want to discuss it with you now. Or you can find me https://www.rushessay.com/coursework.php here if you need me. I have some questions for you.

My 19in. "dell" trinitron is dying so I've been wondering about a new display lately. I figure I'll end up getting something like the viewsonic p225f.

I don't know a good place to buy monitors online, but compared to froogle's price list for this monitor this site's price is about the middle (new, not refurb).

With a max res of 2048 x 1536 and supposedly flicker free, that sounds like the monitor to get. Three year warrantee should provide enough protection against a lemon. Hopefully like this one it'd last over 7 years. By then LCDs will be sure to have worked all the kinks out and settled on which technology is best and whatnot.

I wonder what the best CRT that money can buy is right now... I doubt it's that expensive compared to the top of the line LCDs.

miglaugh> Why isn't one of the cons that it's only 17in.? I didn't even think they made new 17in. displays anymore. I guess that means the low res is acceptable at least; on a 19 incher or higher the pixels would look like legos, haha.

100% agree. That's why I'm using a 6 year old 19" CRT TARGA monitor at 1024 x 768 :) It will be pretty difficult to find new monitor...

I guess that means the low res is acceptable at least; on a 19 incher or higher the pixels would look like legos, haha. Also the native res being so low is good for games in that you don't need a super high performance machine, but then for office tasks and browsing you wouldn't have enough real estate. I guess that just brings us to the point that LCDs just plain aren't well rounded enough to handle everything. My next monitor is still going to be a CRT, and probably a 22 incher. That way I have the screen size I want, the res flexibility, the response times under control, and all the other features. Weight and size I couldn't care less about, I have a 3ft deep desk and it's sturdy as hell. No worries.
