Although LCD monitors have gone through a lot of improvement, their response time is still way below that of CRT monitors. This is the main reason why they remain second choice for gaming. Also, their viewing angle is still narrow compared to CRTs. This can be a nuisance when you want to go one-on-one with a friend even if you're sitting only a foot apart.
Samsung makes two-tone silver/black 17" monitors. The flat-tube 793MB is about 7.6k, and the non-flat model 793S is about 5.9k. The 793MB has the 'magic-bright' feature which is very useful if you want to quickly change brightness levels when switching between games and other applications.
the lg silver is pretty good
picked it up for a friend of mine
as for lcd's yeah .. they have an avg response time for 16ms or above which causes "ghosting" and fast paced games ...
however its not as bad for gaming as most point out ... IF u get a decent monitor with a good response time
ofcourse u need mooollahhh for that

Do not go fot LCD , if any problem happens then very tough to solve.
CRT monitors can be repaired at very low cost and lot of people know how to repair.
TRY Phillips 17" colour black monitor ,carries a 3 yr warranty and is also a A list product of DIGIT magazine. I have the same at home, had no problems with it.
