My friend just bought a HITACHI CML174SXWB Monitor and he says its great. Also Hitachi has a great dead pixel return policy. I'm looking into buying a Viewsonic VP171B from dell with a stackable coupon so i'm hoping it will bring it down to around $450.
16ms panels, are not 16bit, they can handle 24bit colour. They do however have a few shades of colours missing, but the panel reproduce these by bleding several other shades together. In any case, this is not noticeable. At all.Originally posted by: Pete
The Hitachi CLM174 and NEC 1760NX are both 16ms-response LCDs, IIRC. The lower the pixel response rate (combined rise and fall), the better, and currently I think 16ms is as low as it gets. You sacrifice some color depth, though--I think 16ms panels are only 16-bit, whereas slower panels are 24-bit. GamePC and TomsHardware have a bunch of LCD reviews. There's also a huge LCD thread in the A/V forum at Ars.

I'll be getting a VP171B in a few weeks as well. I'll post my thoughts if the thread is still around when I get it.

there is a 16ms $339 after $30 rebate from man in the HD forums. TigerDirect is the dealer which is hit or miss. same panel as the other 16ms one good deal if they don't have a bunch of dead pixels and the rebate goes to Man and not TD itself.
