You're unlikely to find any fast screens around at the low end of the
price scale for a while. Demand is high for LCDs as manufacturers
ramp down CRTS and ramp up LCDs.

In normal conditions 250 nits is way too bright (my one is set at
34%)
unless the monitor is in a very bright room or possibly hit by
direct
sunlight.
Contrast is very important if you do image editing or watch DVD
movies or
TV. CRTs achieve 900:1 so 450:1 is going to look a lot better than
350:1.
Response time is also very important. My 17" NEC achieves 16ms and
that
means no noticeable smearing on fast moving objects.


Thanks much. Most of the units I've looked at are in the 450:1
contrast ratio,
and = 250 nits brigthness.

However, I have't seen many units in my price range with a response
rate 25ms.
I guess I'll have to look a bit further.
