Three letters - W.O.W. - end of story........2004-01-31

Traditionally, TFT monitors have looked amazing when doing normal desktop tasks, but really let themselves down when it comes to anything exciting, like DVD playback or fast-paced 3D gaming. The major problem has always been 'ghosting' -- the effect where anything moving leaves a visible trail behind itself. This is due to the slow response time of the LCD pixels; they simply couldn't switch colors fast enough.

Hercules claim to have fixed this with their 20ms response TFT screen and proclaim it to be the saviour of gamers and movie-watchers alike. Well, having had this monitor for few days now and really put it through its paces, I can proclaim that all their hype is true!

UT2K3 plays awesomely on this screen - every pixel is displayed flawlessly and there isn't a hint of ghosting, even when spinning round to take out someone behind you. Perfect.

Need For Speed Underground is a real blast - the roads streak past at the speed of sound, but don't leave any trails. Flawless.

DVD playback is equally impressive - rich, lush colors and superb contrast make viewing movies a pleasure, unless the monitor is above your eye level, when the display fades quite drastically.

Add to this the fact that it sexes up your desktop like you wouldn't believe and you've got an amazing package. OK - you don't get built-in speakers (who needs them nowadays anyway?) or a USB hub (get one for $20!!), but who expects extras when you're getting such a quality product.

Hats off, Hercules - you've done it again!!!

Herucles PropehtView 920 Pro DVi.......2004-01-12

LOOKS.

At a Lan looks can be a nice factor to have. Fortunaly the Herucles has plenty of it. It has a sleek black/silver metal look to it. Infact the whole back is metal and the stand is metal. However the front plate is plastic, along with the buttons. This definatly will steel the show at LAN's! (get it steel heh!) The hitachi looks plane jane and nothing special. Not really much to say about it.

Now to what we have all been waiting for!

20ms vs 16ms

Most manufacutrers would like you to belive that 16ms is faster, and it is, but they do not test equally. And AUOptronics dose admit that thier product dose not display all the colors correctly, and is not a ture 16ms panel.

For the Test i useed my two computers below both have a form of Radeon 9800 Pro, both monitors were connected via DVI and both used cat 3.10 with 2xAA and 8xAF enabled.

The Game: Unreal Tournament 2003

I have to say, the Hitachi was a joke, it had more ghosting than the Hercules. But what made it worse was in dark areas the Hitachi's colors would get worse, in very dark situations you cannot see at all.

The Hercules monitor had very birght colors, and i noticed little motion blur, though there was still some.

Both monitors did not handle dark areas as well as a CRT, however the herucles handled the areas ALOT better than the hitachi.

I have to conclude that hands down the Herucles PropehtView 920 Pro DVi is the best Gameing LCD out there, it has style and preformance, however it dose cost a great deal more than the AUOptronic panels witch are acceptable for gameing.
