Manufacturer's Description
With its sleek silver-black design, the new Starlogic 17" LCD Monitor is set to take off as a real eye catcher. It has a fast 16 ms reaction time and a contrast ratio of 400:1 and is also extremely presentable. Excellent picture quality is therefore guaranteed.

Thanks to its Plug & Play and 15-pin D-sub video signal input, integration into existing infrastructures presents no problems.

This super sleek multimedia display monitor includes two integrated speakers positioned below the screen. The monitor can be mounted against a wall with the included stand.

looks good enuff to me.. my TFT monitor is much the same as that one.. apart from mine is about 18ms i think but handles in game np.. plus there nice a bright, takes a few days to get used to the different look of the gfx .. and not given me any problems at all.. fast enuff. very satisfied with mine anyhow..

Very important with TFT, make sure your PC can handle games at the recomended resolution.

thing is most TFT are pretty much designed for a specific resolution, like mine at home is 1280x1024. Which was not to good before I upgraded my GFX card to handle games at that higher resolution.
