Well if you're someone like me, there is no good LCD for graphics and gaming and only a good ol' CRT will do. For optimal performance, look for 700:1 contrast or better (better is hard to find and will run you a nice penny), 2ms response time (faster has yet to come, at least to be affordable), the smallest dot pitch you can get your jittery eyes on, and the biggest bestest resolution you can get. When gaming and rendering, the difference between 60hz and 70hz is huge.
