Has anyone got any experience with the Benq FP783 Monitor?

[DragonQ0105]

Has anyone seen or does anyone own one of these monitors? I'm seriously thinking of getting one, but although reviews generally give it 4/5 Stars, some say its colours are a bit washed out.

Basic Specs:

Native Resolution - 1280x1024
Respone Time - 12ms
Dot Pitch - 0.264mm
Size - 43.2cm (17")
Interface - VGA/DVI
Extras - USB2.0 Hub (3 Ports)


Has anyone got any experience with these monitors that can give me some recommendations please? The cheapest I can find it for is £206 (without Webcam/Speakers).

Thanks.

Pretty average quality but good for the price, we had a few in stock and felt they were so so.

So would you recommend the VP171S-2 then? I'm gonna look at some reviews in a minute...although it has no USB Hub (which may be useful to me), it is only £5 more since it's free delivery...

I cannot find ANY reviews of this monitor at all, but the VP171S (I guess the older model) has got very good reviews so it seems like a great monitor choice...

It says it's "HDTV 720p Compatible". I'm assuming this means that if I get an HDTV Sky Digibox with DVI-Out, I can use this monitor as a TV? I thought HDTV was Widescreen-only? Is it displayed in Letterbox mode then?

Do you know what the difference between the VP171S and the VP171S-2 is? Their website doesn't ever mention the VP171S-2 at all....
