Best 17" LCD for $500

[kwest2]

Assuming it will be used for a fair amount of gaming (not alot, but on occasion. A few times a week) which of the following is of the highest quality?

I made a side by side comparison of a few monitors here.

Viewsonic

Anyone else?

I would give serious consideration to the NEC Multisync LCD 1760V. It received great reviews from just about everyone, if not everyone. It's 16 ms monitor,they say great for gaming. It's priced very reasonable. I would check it out at newegg

But it only comes with a 1 year warranty. Seems pretty crappy since I'd like to use this monitor for ~2 years or so. Plus its fugly.

You might want to read some reviews, like the ones on Tom's. 16ms can still have ghosting/trailing, and a 16ms they tested had more ghosting than a 20ms. This Tom's review says that. It also says all panels are made by the same few mfg's, and "Two monitors using the same panel will have a similar, if not identical, display. So, in spite of some substantial price differences (double in some cases), you will often find the same quality whatever the brand."

Hopefully the 12ms LCD's will fully cure this. I also wonder, as many people on here say, LCD's don't have as vibrant color and crispness of CRT. Will they ever?
