Being that my trusty old CRT 17" monitor finally bit the dust, I'm in the market for a new one.

I want to get an LCD 17" or 19". I just want to hear what LCD's you'd recomend or have and have had no issues with. (Installation/compatibility issues, dead pixels, response times, waranty/oem support etc.)

Thanks.

Does your Graphics card support DVI?

Samsung is supposed to replace every monitor with a dead pixel within the first six months of purchase.
Pretty good choice then, plus they have nice designs ;)

The lowest response times today are 12ms, highest contrast ratios are up to 700 or 800:1. But I think low response screens come with lower contrast ratios.

Warranty should be 3 years.

If you have DVI, then go for a monitor that has DVI input.
