Lcd screens for gamers?

[mrgoblin]

I wanted to know if there was any lcd screens I could buy that would work good for games. I know theres alot of problems with up and down times but ive heard with correct resolutions, some of this can be nullified. Anyone got any ideas?

Ahh man, I don't think anyone ever asked this before.

I'm sure you'll find a lot of posts here about this topic.

Generally for gaming you are looking for fast total (rise+fall) response times (16ms is a great target, but 25 ms is doable for many), good contrast ratios (400:1 or greater), and decent resolution. Match it up with a great video card and DVI and you're in.

Now, picking the size is a bit touchy. You can great gaming LCD's 17in and below, decent panels at 18-20".

I'm a bit partial to the Hitachi panels and Planar (PX 171, PX191, PL201M).

I read a few posts in the past but someone said there were new models coming out. Anyone got info on those?
