Question is what to look for in the spec.?
One I've spotted is the LG W2252TQ
Spec is:
Contrast Ratio 10000:1
Image Brightness 300 cd/m2
Interface DVI VGA (HD-15)
Max Resolution 1680 x 1050
Response Time 2 ms
Signal Input DVI-D, VGA
Contrast ratio seems much higher than most others, and response time is faster. Is this good?
Anyone use this screen.
It has two inputs, and I believe it can use both to switch between two computers.
Thanks

I've recently purchased a Samsung Syncmaster 223BW. It replaced my old 17" TFT which blew up!
It has really surprised me with the quality of the display and also highlighted how many editing errors I'd completely missed on the old one!
It's far,far better quality all round. I've just discovered one stuck pixel on it, but to be honest I can only see it with a magnifying glass!
I think most modern screens are of such a high quality you'll be fine with just about any, at least with a decent name on the front. One point worth mentioning, if you buy away from the high street you tend to get three years warranty as standard. Don't fall for the extended warranty trap offered by certain retail chains.
As for the details, the response times are only really relevant for games and DVD display, but even my old 17" TFT with a 25ms rate was absolutely fine. I could see no ghosting on it at all.
The details on that one all sound perfectly good to me.
