I'm more of a CRT man myself but having seen the MVA and IPS panels, they are absolutely WORLDS better than TN panels. If you can find something with one of the better panel types rather than just a bigger one. Also there are no standards for testing dynamic contrast or response time so just ignore those numbers, theres NO regulation on that. They could claim a 2ms response time and 100000000000:1 contrast ratio without telling you that they got that number by cherry picking it out of a billion wierd-ass testing conditions. Static contrast is a good one to look for though. Ideally something like a 1920x1200 S-IPS panel with a polarizer would be great. Link to comment
