Default LCD - Two models to choose from

I've narrowed down my choice of LCD to two particular models after a lot of
headache!

LG L1715S
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=65119

Acer AL1721HM
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=57874


The differences between the models are that the Acer has DVi output as well
as VGA. But I've heard that LG LCD generally has a better reputation.
Also the LG has an internal PSU and a LightView Function to change settings
according to application.

Is the DVi output much of an improvement over VGA?

Which should I go for LG or Acer?!

Thank you

Well i have an LG TFT and an Acer TFT in my laptop, so here gos

3000+ hours and not a single dead pixel on my LG screen

Also the LG has an internal PSU and a LightView Function to change
settings
according to application.


Stay away from the LG software... its evil and trys to take over from nView.
Its odd for a TFT to not have an internal PSU these days (except crappy sub
15" panels)

Is the DVi output much of an improvement over VGA?

IMO, at these low resolutions it doesnt make much of a difference, unless,
youre using the PC in an enviroment with elecromagnetic interference.

Which should I go for LG or Acer?!

I'd go LG, they look nicer, and from my experince are of high build quality.

Thanks Hamman. I was veering towards the LG, and you've confirmed it for
me.
