Looking for The best 17" or higher LCD TV/Mointor

[NeoNight]

Help! I need to replace my current CRT mointor that has pretty much lost its brightness causing it to be pretty dim. I am currently looking on newegg to find the best deal (i.e. best and cheapest) on a new mointor that will be used for everything from watching movies to playing games. Any suggestions? This is what I found so far

...didn't say what their maximum resolution was. Do yourself a favor, and make sure it supports HD (basically, anything higher than 1600x1200). If you don't have a card that can drive these resolutions, it'll still work (and you'll probably have one someday). Widescreen is nice too.

yeah it says it if you scroll down a bit you'll see the specs for each. um for the AOC 17' max resolution was 1280x768 and it supports hdtv Analog RGB, HDTV (720p/1080i

Response time is an important consideration if you want to play games- anything below 16ms is not ideal.
Try and get 8 if you can.

No, you want a lower number to have a better response. Instead of it taking 16ms to change, it only takes 8ms, which means the screen updates faster. And thats what you want, unless you want to see horrible moving images that you make out.

I have sort of the same question as the thread starter. I'm basically new to the HD era and want to get a cheap tv/monitor to get myself started. I found this one: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1366543&Tab=2&NoMapp=0

Is this any better than that first monitor posted? I really have no idea how to decide on the response time.

except most hd sources done go past 720p going that high for tv isnt worth it half the time for the price

Haha yeh was a typo- anything below 16ms IS IDEAL. Anything above is not. Sorry bout that.
