Couple of questions...

[anotherone]

Hi.

I would like to know if anybody compared *side by side* Samsung 172x (the 12 ms version) to Viewsonic vp171b or Sony HX-73.

If nobody convince me against Samsung, this could be the LCD to buy, but first I would like to know the results of the PixPerAn program in the response time field from users that already bought that LCD...

Which is the 12 ms panel dot pitch? 0.294 or 0.264?

When did the 12 ms version came out? Can I be sure thar if the lcd was manufactured in X month, it will be the new one?

Finally, how can I physically distinguish between the 12 ms version and the older one? Any differences in the box, the screen, serial number?

Thanks in advance.

JP

Have anybody seen the X-bit Labs review of the new 172x?

"Quite contrary to the manufacturer’s claims at the company website, this monitor is unsuitable for dynamic computer games as it uses a PVA matrix. If you are into 3D shooters such as Counter Strike or Unreal Tournament, you will hardly like this monitor: the image will become blurred at sudden movements, and if the action goes on indoors, with low contrast, the blur will become simply unacceptable".

What the hell?
