Thinking of getting an LCD monitor...

[sodcha0s]

At the moment I'm leaning towards the NEC LCD1760V because of good reviews and the price. I've done some research, but would like even more reviews and 'shootout' type analysis before I buy. I want to make sure I'm happy with what I buy, especially forking out that kind of cash. Can anyone point me to a site or two with good information?

I myself tried really hard finding LCD reviews and such before I made a purchase, but they're nearly non-existent. After months of thinking, though, I bought Samsung 213T.
And from my experience, I'd recommend anything from Samsung. They make gorgeous LCDs. Think spending a bit more, wait for the 192T which AnandTech has just reviewed. With 100~200 bucks more than 17", you'll have a nice asset for the coming years. (Remember you don't upgrade your monitors too often)

Samsung/Planar; you won't go wrong with either.

Thanks for the replies, but $1,300 for a monitor is way out of the question. That's more than twice as much as I paid for my current system...

I am a gamer and require at least a 20ms response time. Does anybody have opinions on the NEC LCD I mentioned? Seems everything I've heard about it is positive, any drawbacks? 17" is fine for me, I just want a bright, crisp and colorful display that won't have noticeable ghosting while I'm playing games.
