What are the best sites to order LCD's from? I've seen a couple mentioned, DELL primarily, where you can return the lcd even if it looks funny and it doesn't have to have a certain amount of dead pixels. Any recommendations for sites like that? I dont want to get stuck with an LCD that i dont like after it gets here.

I'm not interested in a Dell made LCD ither. Im looking at a Viewsonic vp171b or vp191b at the moment. I am having a hard time decided on which size to go with cause i dont have a Best Buy or anything close where i can see several LCD's. Gaming is the big concern really. I dont want to go with the one thats 2" bigger if gaming will be noticebly worse then the 16ms version.

Many may suggest the Viewsonic vp171b, but I think this one is the better choice.

Read my mini-review here of the Sony SDM-X73:

There are also several threads devoted to the Sony HX73 and X73 models, just page back a few and look for them. They are essentially the same panel but different design.

Presently, you will it difficult to find an LCD above 17" that has the critical 16ms response time or less. So this size is the sweet spot for any brand.
