Looking for review/feedback

I'm on the market for buying a new monitor, and I've seen a: Acer AL1715ms TFT 17" at a computershop near me.

Now - I've been wanting to buy a new monitor for quite some time, and now this one appears rather cheap, but I've not been able to find reviews about it (in english or scandinavian) - thus I'm asking if anybody knows of reviews of this product, or possible have tried it themselves.

The screen is listed as 12ms response time on the website/shop - which I find odd because of the makename of 1715ms (seeing as it is 17" - i'd think the 15ms in the name indicated 15ms response time). It also lists as a DVI connection, which I'm also wondering about - because then they are usually rather more expensive

Anyways - feedback would be nice

I've seen companies put 5ms response time. There are more than one way to judge an LCD's response time and contrast, so don't put too much faith in it.

But I believe that even a 15ms LCD will be quite good for gaming.

Monitor

Remember to match the monitor to your video card. You mention a DVI monitor that is the type of input to the monitor and to use you need a DVI video card.

NEC is best
I have a 19" Viewsonic that has worked fine for over a year and stll working. This large CRT is best for my tired old eyes.

Most graphics cards now have DVI output, and a DVI-VGA adapter isn't expensive.
