The 12ms is something to do with the update speed of the screen I believe (anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!!).
I've just been looking into getting one myself, as the old CRT screen died, and got a Benq 17" 12ms LCD screen which is very good, although we had to tone down the brightness a bit. Anyway, the lower the "ms" number, the faster it is - most are around the 16ms mark, older ones are higher, and there are some newer ones out at around 10ms. The only thing I was wary of was the "dead pixels" thing - but luckily we don't seem to have any on ours, so far. You can buy monitors with a "no dead pixels" guarantee, but they cost a lot more.
Oh, and the one we bought was just under £200 including delivery, and I thought that was a good deal!! :rolleyes:
PS - the Digimate 1715 is a 16ms speed, so slightly different spec.0 -
Amazon vs Aria.........Aria wins every time. They're a local firm in Manchester and I use them regularly. Amazon on the other hand are the 'Tescos' of the internet. I've read that £1 in £8 is spent in Tescos. Big corporations don't need any extra help, especially if they are not the cheapest.0

Amazon are excellent - Aria are better. I ordered a 17" Digimate in the week before xmas and it was at my house in 18 hours. No special delivery paid - spot on.0

I bought one of these 2 months ago and I have to say that it is one of the best buys I've ever bought for my PC.
Very easy to set up, no dead pixels and no noticeable ghosting. Recommend to anyone at this price.0
