General Comments

I had done a lot a research on TFT screens, I had been staunch supporter of CRTs for years and could not even bring myself to think about LCD.

However, after my CRT decided to make a funny fizzing noise, make a smell like burning plastic and then shower my bedroom in sparks I decided it might be a good idea to take a look at what LCD monitors were available.

I had heard that LCD monitors are slow in changing screen content due to the technology used in switching the transitor in each pixel on and off and also to different transparency levels and because I play games a lot this refresh speed was paramount.

The Hyundai Q17+ boasts an update of 12ms which is FAST and believe me there is absolutley no visible ghosting at all. I'm using an Nvidia 6800 GT with DVI output and I can tell you this baby is gorgeous to behold.

With a native resolution of 1280x1024 this really is a nice TFT screen.

One gripe however is that it, as with most TFT screens, it cannot reproduce the colour black very well, because of the black light blacks are usually just off a dark grey.

Nice
