It all depends on the glass type, thats why I listed the one I did earlier. A large portion of 17+ LCDs are IPS (in plane switching) which gives nice color and viewing angle, but crappy slow response times. Smaller cheaper LCDs are TN (twisted neumatic) which are medium speed switching, but lousy viewing angle and contrast. The newest and best type is VA (Vertical alignment), also sometimes shown as MVA or PVA. I do a lot of analysis of lcd technology and quality at work, and the 19" PL191M is pretty nice, with dvi and analog connectors and 15ms switching. Plus you can't beat the 3 year warranty.

The page you linked on the PL191M shows a 15ms rise and a 10ms fall, which is good, but that Hitachi is 16ms total response time, I think it's 12ms rise and a flipping 4ms fall. I want to know what kind of glass they're using in that one, and when I can get my hands on a 19" version.

That Planar looks really nice though, 1000/25ms gives you a 40fps update rate, not shabby at all. I don't see that much ghosting on mine, which is rated at a 40ms response time. Well, except for white on black of course.

Ok, I'm looking at these specs, is the PL191M really a 24bit LCD?!? That would rock.

Noticed the 19 inch version has the same response as the 17 inch models. Time to save a few pennies.
