The 172X continued to score well in our technical tests...Colour balance was good too, while our colour combination test also scored highly...It's all good until we come to the price...at £357, the 172X costs significantly more than the Iiyama ProLite E431S, which is bulkier but offers superior quality...

Samsung 172x LCD Monitor - Overclockers Australia
They're quite flimsy when compared to a good solid leaded-glass CRT and can be relatively easily damaged...This is certainly apparent in the case of the Samsung 172 series of monitors - the 172x which is the focus of this review, is priced a few dollars cheaper than its predecessor, the 172T, and yet comes with more features and higher specifications...3.75kg Compare those specs with...

Samsung SyncMaster 172X - PC & Tech Authority
As well as being adept with colour and greyscale, this was also the very first display we’d come across with the new 12ms (millisecond) pixel response time...If there’s one down side, it’s that the SyncMaster 172X was expensive, retailing for $1,099, which made it one of the more expensive models reviewed, although Samsung has a very good pixel policy in place...
