ViewSonic's VX924 panel has one of the lowest quoted response time yet, at 4ms.

Pixel response times on an LCD – or the time it takes for a pixel to change from one colour to another – keep on dropping, and now we present you with the fastest unit to hit the market yet: the ViewSonic VX924 which is capable of refreshing at 4ms.

Out with the inches, in with the speed. PCA puts nine of the best LCDs through their paces.

A super-bright entertainment LCD, but it’s not for office work.

The 930BF started our tests well, narrowly winning the best gaming display in our eye-straining midnight shoot-out.

A great-quality widescreen panel for a surprisingly low price.

Big screen HDTVs are beautiful, but if you’re looking for an upgrade at the moment, you will have come across the killer question: LCD or plasma?

The FP71V+ is a17 inch, 8ms display but it uses some techno-voodoo called Advanced Motion Acceleration to achieve a 5ms grey to grey response time and improve motion performance.

The FP71V+ is another 17in TFT from BenQ, but the real selling point of this monitor is the super-fast 5ms response time.

Incredibly fast and silent, too, but solid-state is still far too expensive for the mainstream.

The SyncMaster 172X from Samsung was a bit of a powerhouse in our tests, scoring highly in all regards except one: surprisingly the monitor was a little over-saturated, meaning whites looked a little washed out, and this would not change regardless of how we tweaked and fiddled with the screen’s settings. However in day-to-day usage you’d barely notice this.

This is the first display in a fresh new line of TFT monitors to come from Mitsubishi this year, and from this early glimpse things are looking good. The unit we received was a very early pre-production model -- it had missing panels, the occasional loose wire and a completely different colour scheme (the TFT pictured is the final shipping version), but as a look to where Mitsubishi is headed it was perfect for our needs.

We put out the call to Australia’s white box PC manufacturers for a good high-end $4000 PC and PC Express was the first to respond.

Our poor receptionist didn’t quite know what to do when Altech’s monolithic machine turned up. She had a point.

A good-value and very powerful system that will appeal to those seeking ultimate performance.

LCD technology takes a small step forward with the advent of superfast 8ms. Darren Ellis looks at why your next screen will be LCD.
