I am too getting an LCD and I have decided on the Viewsonic VP171b...it's a 16.7m color panel :thumbsup:

But I must find out more on the warranty policy etc first :lovegrin:

It's a 8ms panel... There's not way it can be a 24bit (16.7m) panel at the moment..

You may wish to take a look at this article before you buy :

For color work it is better to get a S-IPS LCD panel -- most popular ones are based on TN matrixes which is not suited for color.

Which LCD should I get ?

I dunno, I went and bought the viewsonic vx912.. (cos if i got a 21" one, I may as well get 2 19" ones..)

its a 8ms panel... so just 18bit??

24bit panels are 16.7 million colors

17" = 399 i think

Viewsonic VP191 has 8ms response, 24 bit colour & good colour accuracy.

At least according to Tom's Hardware :

Mine seems good so far.

0 dead pixel for 7 days warranty, 5 dead pixels warranty for 3 years
