I've narrowed down my search for a 17" LCD to these two LCD monitors:

Can anyone tell what kind of LCD panel are in each model?

I'm looking for a 17" 4:3 1280x1024 LCD that can rotate into portrait mode. Most of the LCDs I've found do not support portrait mode, which is why I am not considering them right now.

I refuse to purchase a Dell LCD, because the last 17" Ultrasharp I bought from them stunk and Dell refused to honor a price difference policy. The 1708 price was lowered the day after my LCD was delivered, which was ridiculous given they shipped me a junk TN panel (junky even for a TN). When they wouldn't credit me the difference, nor ship something that was actually good, I asked them for an RMA number and got it.
 
Alright, I guess that you guys must think I'm an idiot :D.

Anyway, I'm guessing that it is a TN panel...so I think I'll be passing on both LCDs.
 
Are you absolutely set on these monitors?

I'd get the silver because of the better contrast ratio. I've got a 17" old school 4:3 monitor and even brand new when I bought it 4 years ago it was only $189.
 
I'm not set on anything at this point.

For a 17", I like to be able to rotate it to match up with my current 24" LCD. Which means either the TN panel needs to have a 'relatively' smooth colors throughout (which my 1708FP was not), or a non-TN panel.

I'm considering as well the 2007FP (a 20" non-TN) whose vertical dimension is close to my 24", and the TN E248WFP which has the same dimensions as my 24". I wouldn't need to rotate these obviously.

Not that I really have the money (yet), but maybe I can manage somehow...
