Whats the best 24" LCD?

[Chromatik]

I currently have an SGI 24" FW9011 CRT and its been great. But it's time to move to to an LCD due to space and weight concerns. As I have had this beast for awhile my requirements for a display are fairly steep. I am not very familiar with LCD tech except for the basics and thought I'd lay my question at the alter of the Hardgods. The things I'm looking for (or better) in a display are as follows:

24" (30 will be too close to overkill)
Minimum of 1920 x 1200
Equal to 85hz on a CRT
Price preferably less than $800
Avoidance of issues like ghosting, back light bleed, screen lag during fast paced FPS's (UT3) etc

Thoughts?

It's 26", but there are no great 24" gaming monitors.

24" (30 will be too close to overkill) N/A
Minimum of 1920 x 1200 that is native on all 24"
Equal to 85hz on a CRT good luck with that, they are all usually 60 max
Price preferably less than $800 N/A
Avoidance of issues like ghosting, back light bleed, screen lag during fast paced FPS's (UT3) etc again, good luck. all lcd's have these traits, and coming from a crt, you wont be happy with any lcd, especially if you play online.

So I assume the tech just isn't there yet? Maybe I'd just be better off sticking with my SGI then.

Honestly you can't know for sure unless you demo a monitor and see a decent one at a friend's house. I suppose a few CRT purists who need total color accuracy for design work or something will never be happy with LCDs, but the vast majority of consumers will and have gladly made the switch.

1. The 60hz thing is meaningless - LCDs don't operate the same way as CRTs. While I can notice less than 85hz on a CRT, my '60hz' 2407 does not bother my eyes at all.

2. At 30" people say any LCD has at least slight input lag but very few good LCDs have input lag at 24" or below. Same deal with ghosting.

I'm not going to get into an arguing match with a guy who bills himself the forum's biggest LCD hater but the point is that you should see one in action for yourself. Personally the vibrancy, crispness, aspect ratio and style won me over to an LCD from a 22" Sony Trinitron beast.
