I checked out the LCD's because I don't really do much gaming. I have also noticed the motion artifacts common amoung LCD's. But I don't think that will be much of a problem for me.
I had Best Buy hook up the Mitsubishi and Samsung on a pc for me. The general image looked great but the text was horrible. I asked to check the monitors on another computer and, to my delight, he agreed. The text much much improved.
The guys at the Best Buy, that I went to, were very helpful.
I would like about 18" and DVI interface so I am leaning towards the Mitsubishi.
Since I mostly surf, edit web pages and listed to music (via MC) I think an LCD would be a good choice. It would save on space and I really like the fact that it is easy on the eyes.
Also, I read the white paper on the Mitsubishi page. They said to check that the LCD is ISO 13406-2 Class 2 Device. That means it is not supposed to have more than 5 dead pixels or else it is defective. An ISO 13406-2 Class 1 Device means not even one should be bad. So, the Mitsubishi rating of Class 2 must be pretty good..... I hope.
Thank you all for the help and have a great weekend.
