This seems to be the key with LCD displays. Make sure it has a < 25 ms refresh and make sure you can connect it to your card with DVI. The DVI image is perfect.

I recently had to look for a replacement for my old 19" Trinitron and expected to buy another CRT. I came home with a Mitsubishi nxm76LCD 17" panel. I had a bad experience when I bought a panel about a year and a half ago...I only lasted 2 days with it before returning it. The difference between that panel and the new ones available now is night and day. There are still some issues with contrast and color depth but not enough to outweigh the benefits of perfect image clarity.

If you want to see what the next generation of panels will look like go see a 17" iMac. They have the new DVI 2 panels and look amazing.
