@Piru
That's not so easy to do, considering price of PVA/MVA and how rare they are in some places.
Also, many sellers and even manufacturers don't state the type of panel at all, some even don't know.

Well I'm more'n happy with me Philips 17" TFT ... but I guess thats Thin Film Transistor, and not strictly LCD. is it ? d'you know I never bothered to check ?

Well, non-TN usually are more expensive, sure, but considering how important component the monitor is, IMHO the higher price is acceptable.

and how rare they are in some places.

Rare? Surely not? Say BenQ FP241W are all over the place.

Also, many sellers and even manufacturers don't state the type of panel at all, some even don't know.

If they don't list such information it's a good idea to try a dealer and/or manufacturer who do.

@ Moto

I've got a PAL LCD screen

What make and model is your one? and was it any good for AGA?

Ive been looking at afew of them and some just seem abit crappy :-(

Piru, the model "BenQ FP241WZ" costs at least 783 eur here. (over 900 eur on average)
and its not all about TN/MVA/etc, you have to consider Mura_effect,
too.

I have been using Samsung 970p for several years. maybe its got good viewing angle and so, but I can easily see the three (neon?) lamps in background when displaying what should be uniformly colored screen.
changing brightness/contrast doesn't help.

And it sure is worth every eurocent (was 740 when I bought mine). Note that FP241W is cheaper than FP241WZ. Z has some extra movie magic in it, I'm quite happy with the regular FP241W.

Great article there btw, explains why el cheapo monitor usually is a bad idea.
