One of these days I will learn not to confuse my feet ( ‘ ) with my inches( ” ). When I first started reading this article about the BenQ’s FP71e+ LCD monitor at Tom’s Hardware, I was convicned that they were saying it was 17′, not the more realistic 17″. Even at the smaller 17″, the monitor sure does look nice, doesn’t it?

A commercially-available 17″ TFT display has finally beaten the 10ms response time threshold. While heavy-hitter vendors including ViewSonic, Samsung and others have announced plans to introduce 8ms panels, BenQ has beaten them to the punch. BenQ’s FP71e+ 17″ monitor features an 8ms response time is now available, with an AU Optronics TN panel, and is geared specifically for gamers. With the introduction of the FP71E+, remanence is quickly becoming a thing of the past.
