This 17" LCD doesn't have half of the impressive looks or sheer presence
of its 20" big brother, but it costs half the price, and has an even lower
response time, at a lightning fast 12ms. This response time puts it almost on
par with an 85Hz CRT monitor, but you would have to be quite a power gamer to
notice a difference between 12 ms and the more common 16 ms, especially considering
the 75Hz refresh rate limitation.
The 17" screen with its tiny stereo speakers moves easily on its weighted
plastic stand, and it can be easily moved around and adjusted with one hand.
The control buttons are small, cheap looking, and difficult to press. The VG712S
is quite well specified though, including analogue and DVI inputs, and a contrast
ratio of 450:1.
The monitors automatic adjustment is slightly off, and you have to fiddle with
both the colour balance and timing yourself. Scaling is good though, with both
1024x768 and 800x600 looking fine on the 1280x1024 panel. £243 inc. VAT
is a reasonable price for a 17" TFT. This is worth consideration for FPS
junkies, but everyone else would be better off with the bigger, and clearer
19" Aries AL190, which can be had for the same money.
