so here's my dilemma. i currently have the vg700, and was planning on going dual lcd's. now the second monitor in question are those in the title, the vx700 and the vp171b.

the vx700 matches the vg700 perfectly and is priced at $465(newegg), but its response times are 25 ms.

the vp171b doesn't match as perfectly and is priced at $505(newegg), but has 16 ms response times.

what do u think ppl? sacrifice looks for performance? or go for the cheaper and perfectly matching monitor?

of those 3 i would have to say the vp171b (AU Optronics panel). The vx700 has not gotten favorable reviews from what i have seen. However, if you want to stray from viewsonic i would shoot for the 20ms iiyama (exact name?) or the hyundai lcd that uses the same 20ms panel. That panel is better than any mentioned. Personally i am in love with my samsung 172t.

hmm...i think i'll stick with viewsonic. what i could do, is sell the vg700 and get two vp171b's, solving my matching monitors problem:)
