Im definatley no expert on monitors, and i have a 19" Hansol CRT which is pretty nice - but compared to my friends 19" Philips his is much crisper.

So i'd like to upgrade because i use my PC so much, and checked some sites i use to buy hardware. This screen jumped out, because it was cheap and claimed to be used by industry professionals. I thought hey, it'd be sweet to have a TFT! I'd rather have first hand experience, but if you have any review links i'll check them out.

The Gallery Xtreme™ TFT display range, is a triumph in display technology production.

These truly digital High performance TFT displays, give the clearest and sharpest image with outstanding colour definition thanks to the 24-bit MVA Active Matrix technology used in each Xtreme™ display, its high performance TFT panel gives among other fantastic specifications, an rivaled contrast ratio of 700:1

Not only does this screen show fantastic images, the styled trademark case of the Gallery range, this time in clear and black steals another large chunk of wow factor.
