Best color and image quality LCD for under $600?

[cleanerupper]

I've come to the conclusion that it will still be awhile before LCDs will match what CRTs can offer in the area of gaming. However, I realize LCDs have the advantage as far as static applications go (word processing, internet, web design and photoshop). I'm looking for a non-widescreen LCD for under $600 which will be best for these types of applications.

Color reproduction is by far the most important factor to me.

I have already tried the Samsung 204b and the Viewsonic vx2025wm. The Samsung has a noticeable color shift from top to bottom and the Viewsonic has noticeable banding which is a no-no.

I'm open to suggestions, thanks for any help.

slightly above your budget but its' worth it.

edit: oops jumped the gun ::

the NEC is widescreen. How about the Viewsonic VP930b?

Thanks for the insight. I wonder if that 2030b has better color reproduction than the vx2025wm?

yes it does. The VX has a faster response time but the 2030b has better color reproduction @ the cost of slightly slower response times... it's actually an improvement so the VX is kinda yesterday's papers.
