When looking for a monitor, the common budget enthusiast has already spent most of the money allotted for their system. That leaves around 150 to 200 dollars to spend on a monitor. Combined with a space limitation, this can be a serious problem. LCD's used to be a major cost and a performance weak point. Unfortunately, that was the solution for space limitations. A user would to have to settle for an LCD in the 200 dollars range, and would be plagued with slow response times and "streaking" when watching high motion images. In recent years however, major LCD price cuts have created some serious competition amongst LCD manufactures. This competition has created a positive balance of features, performance, and price. When looking at the Hanns-G HW-173D, the effects of the LCD wars can be seen. Today we'll be looking at that monitor and what gives it is appeal to the common budget enthusiast gamer.
