Showing ordered on request 7 days wait. Better than 98 days anyway. Fingers crossed here anyway.

I'm sorely tempted as a replacement for my trusty 17" CRT Samsung.

However, I'd promised myself a 17" TFT when this dies though and having been offered some 17" TFTs for £155+VAT today, it looks like the predicted slide for them is already happening.

Can't help thinking it's worth waiting, in a few months time they'll be paying you to pick them up!

Ingram (trade only distributor) had some in at that price.

Okay for office use I'd expect (25ms response etc).

Bought one last week 14ms response for £205 plus vat.

Must say my gaming has improved significantly. I can run 1280\1024 without problem, wheras my old 17 CRT was 1024\768 at its best

probs bull crap but iv heard the price of TFTs are going to go up. Something about the TV manufactures forcing them too up the prices ace peeps are buying much cheeper TFT monitors instead of the proper TVs.

Oversupply ahead for large flat panel monitors

TFT LCD prices to fall despite growing demand

Going down......

It's how quick the monitor can re-act to a change in the image it's displaying.

On a fast moving game or DVD, "slow" TFTs exhibt ghosting as they play catch up. In theory, screens of 16ms are the best for games.

Got my SyncMaster 1100DF delivered today.
Great picture & it doesn't take up that much desktop space. Screen is huge compared to my old 17" one though
