    OK.
    I have the option of keeping one of the following TFT's

    NEC 1701
    Hercules ProphetView 920

    Both are 17", both are mainly black, both have only D-SUb analogue input. Hercules has external power brick, NEC is built in.

    Quality is not an issue, i reckon the picture is spot on in both, and neither have dead pixels :)

    PICTURES HERE!

    Which do you think i should keep? Im thinking NEC atm....
    I have been using the hercules for the past month or so, and am not sure i like the bevelled edges.

    Opinions pls ppl!

    Me likes Hercules and black components in general .
    Black looks more "Technologic" :D

    the NEC, it's the all around better monitor, although I like the looks of the other, except for the odd button placement.

    NEC, although bear in mind you dont get a DVI cable with either i dont think. Not like the LG1710b which has everything and is exceptionally lovely and you should buy it from amazon or MD for £330.

    ;)

    Half a dozen converts and counting :D

    I've just bought a couple of 17" Hitatchi CML174SXB's - cost me £340 (each obvsly!) from Scan.

    16ms response time, A1 clarity/colour... mmmm... very nice. :D

    I have both these sitting on my desk, so i wont be buying another :/

    If i realised i may have got an LG over the NEC, but too late now.

    So not many hercules fans here?!

    I prefer the Hercules........... I think it looks the part and does really well in reviews. Comes from a very respectable country. Make any computer look gd TBH! :rock:
