There are many reviews that you can read on the net that cover this monitor from a gaming perspective. Initially these reviews panned the Samsung 172x for ghosting and blurring during game play.
Don't pay too much attention to these reviews. Apparently that was due to Samsung shipping models that had a 25ms response time. The version that you will receive has a 12 or 13ms response time. That means it is practically as good as any CRT you can buy. Color saturation and crispness is incredible. This the case whether you hook this up with the VGA cord or, if you are equipped with an advanced video card, DVI. Both are supported and you can switch between them. There are no hookups for S-video, cable or component video. Do not plan to put this in your kitchen to watch tv. This is meant to be hooked up to a computer.
This is the most beautiful consumer product that I have bought in some time. The thin bezel, the slim, narrow dimensions, the way the cords can be hidden so they don't clutter up your desk. This is one beautiful monitor.
If you want to buy a great LCD monitor for your office and are willing to pay $600 More than the typical 17" LCD by at least $100), buy this thing. You will not be disappointed.
