I used to have the old model medion 15' tft screen I bought it with my aldi PC 2 yrs ago and found it great, and i was playing games on it all the time with no noticable lag or shadowing.

Cost me £300 back then

I can only guess they have improved over time, sounds like a decent price alright

Just wondering if you got to try it on any games or movies yet Mukki?

Tivoli

i played unreal tournament, it looked terribal at first, but when you press the down arrow it sets the brightness+ colour+ contrast automatically, takes about 10 seconds, iots looked perfect after that, but unreal is a very dark and grey game



empire earth looked perfect,didnt need to do the contrast thing

will try a nice colourfull game when i get in from work


one problem- there is a blue led beside the power button, its so bloody bright i put a tiny bit of dark insulating tape over it :dunno:

€499 for the 17" Medion version and the same for a compaq one. They were in the Galway currys at the weekend.

if its over 20ms response time then you often get shadowing problems, the image quality on a still will still be the same, but its when the screen is moving around in d3d or movies etc that you will notice the 'shadowing' effect..

i got the 17" benq one from overclockers.co.uk for 300 sterling just before christmas and i can recommend that for gaming no problems, it has 16ms response time.. (would get the link but lazy..)

Thanks for that lads,Mukki any idea what the response time is on yours?
