Samsung's 17" LCD Gaming Monitor Rated

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the window-to-the-game-world dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A year ago gaming on LCD monitors was laughed at, now days it's becoming much more practical thanks to more responsive LCDs like Samsung's SyncMaster 172X, reviewed over at OverClocker's Club. The 172X is a 17" monitor, with a very important feature for us gamers and hardcore computer geeks, a 12ms response time. A 12ms response time literally means zero ghosting in games and in fast action movies."

  1. Dot pitch incorrect in article? by Emnar · · Score: 5, Informative

    The article says the dot pitch is 0.294mm, and specifically knocks the 172X for it. However, Samsung's US product page claims 0.264mm.

    Either the article is wrong, or Samsung updated their specs!

    Toms Hardware's review was not nearly so glowing. I just happened to read it this morning and it's worth a look.
