Alright, this thread is old, so it might be too late, but don't buy monitors from Newegg... their return policy for flat panels is terrible. Unless you truely don't care if you have dead pixels. Because you're stuck with any that you have, if you buy from Newegg.
Nextly, check here for good advice on which monitor to buy: {snip...}
I was responding to the issue of purchasing from Newegg raised by Boilerdown, and certainly not suggesting you buy an 8 ms monitor - AND definately not the one I did, if you even can - they seemed to have discontinued it in a real hurry anyway.
Nor is the issue the "hit or miss" nature of buying a monitor. The issue is that a "miss" from Bestbuy means a trip back to Bestbuy, while a miss when purchasing one from Newegg means eating the cost of a monitor - Newegg's policy precludes any possibility of a return, which is going to be an issue if the monitor simply doesn't perform adequately (or to the specifications, as in my case).
I should probably focus more attention on quoting the information I'm replying to, in order to prevent misunderstandings, but it seems so, well, redundant!
