A High-Speed LCD for DVD
At a Glance
With a fast, 12-millisecond response time--more than twice the reported speed of most 17-inch LCDs on a recent chart--our shipping display produced cleaner outlines and smoother movements in DVD video tests than our 25ms-rated reference LCD did. Some testers also noticed subtle improvements in gaming graphics. With a price of $649 (street), the 172X is more expensive than most standard 17-inch LCDs, but if movies and fast-paced games are your passion, you could end up all the richer.
