Well I finally decided to get a Dell U2410, I actually like it quite a bit, so much more than any other LCD I have tried. It's still an adjustment, and I have to play the mental mind-game of "you know it's better than that stupid 17" CRT, just get used to it already!", and so far, so good. I knew I would have to take the brightness way down, and even at 0% colors are still vibrant so I believe the "holy crap it's like reading off of the sun" issue is resolved at last.
Text has always been my concern with LCDs, between ClearType and Firefox's NoSquint plugin set to autozoom all text (not images) to 120%, I seem to be good to go. Gaming is simply amazing, I can see things that I swear weren't there before, definitely no complaints on that front, no input lag problems in FPS (TF2) either.
Maybe the only thing I can complain about is Windows UI text is a little small, not necessarily game-breaking since I'm not reading novels there anyway, but what annoys me is that it seems to be impossible to change font sizes manually in the Aero UI for Windows 7. They are pushing upping the DPI instead which I am not a huge fan of since that seems like an overkill solution which has the side effect of zooming (some?) images/icons as well instead of just increasing text size.
If anyone knows of a workaround to change text size in 7 without changing DPI that would be cool, but I think at this point I've finally made the transition, thanks xtknight for the suggestions.
