Best LCD choices for that proper AMI monitor feel in 2009.

A few years ago I experimented with LCDTVs, even bought a RGB -> component converter, but gave up because I was unable to find a TV that handled 50Hz, and didn't feel like gambling buying more TVs to try.

I prefer smallish screens (no larger than 17"), otherwise lo-res Amiga game screens look too "blocky".

I also like CRTs, only problem is that the Indivision doesn't do 100Hz, so you have to deal with 50Hz flicker. Also there are LCDs that rival even the best CRTs, but you have to spend $$$ and buy a good one. I have a little 15" Eizo that, as far as static images, looks exceptional, even next to good Trinitron and Diamondtron CRTs. Contrast, smearing, and color loss with AGA (TN panel) are problems, but there are better models that resolve those issues... something like an Eizo S1731 would be *very* nice for you Amiga + Indivision.

Ideally I would consider TN screen as heresy on my desk.

My little 15" TN panel is great for OCS/ECS gaming, and for 1024x768 output from Amiga gfx cards. (BTW - for an old card, the Picasso IV has *outstanding* analog output quality - hardly distinguishable from a digital connection.) On the downside, there is obvious color loss with some AGA things, when next to a CRT or PVA LCD... don't know if modern TN panels are still 6 bits per color though.
