My father-in-law is looking at moving from his 17" CRT to a 17" LCD. I know LCD tech is advancing rapidly at the moment with response times falling and contrast increasing so what do peeps think of the LG Flatron L1710B?

It's around the price he's looking to pay. Whilst not a games enthusiast he does enjoy playing, mainly FPS types and Colin McRae!

He's looking to buy around Christmas/New Year but if there are some good panels set for a Jan release, he won't mind waiting.

Thanks in advance,
Alex

The Flatron looks good, also woth a peek is the Hitachi CML17SXWB 17". It has a response time of 12ms vs 16ms on the Flatron.

Both at Dabs.

TFT screens will go up in price if anything.

Have 36 of the LGs in stock so availability not an issue on this one.

Saint,

Thx for the bump :-D We actually bought it him last week, it's all wrapped up beside me waiting for Thursday.

Had to hook it up to the DVI on my PowerMac "just to check it"

I had a hard time removing the drool from it, ah well back to my 17" Trinitron CRT...
