Opinions on NEC LCD2080UX?

[Betelgeuse]

Thinking of getting this 20.1" 1600x1200 LCD to replace my Sony GDM400PS. I've heard that this is probably one of the best 20.1" LCDs out there. Or should I wait for 16ms panels to show (any coming soon?)

Excellent panel. Thin bezel. 25ms. Decent contrast ratio. I think you'll be happy. We'll be waiting a little while yet for 20" panels with 16ms response times.

You might want to look at the Planar PL201 though. It does not have a thin bezel, but its contrast ratio is better (500:1 vs the NEC's 350:1), much superior dead pixel policy (5 vs NECs 25), has a Maximum PC Kick Ass product award, and..... it's nearly $500.00 cheaper.
