Samsung 172x 12ms panel no good for gaming.

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. Keeping this in mind I can conclude that SyncMaster 172X with its PVA matrix becomes a perfect choice for working with text, images, drawings, especially now that 17? LCD monitors on MVA and IPS matrixes have nearly left the market.

More proof that ms isn't everything. Too bad, as it's a good looking panel.
Glad I didn't wait for it though.

they had that other touch screen one that had a true 12 ms time though. Might have to check that one out.
