If you're looking for a 17" panel, there are a lot of good ones out there, ones with the Hydis 20ms panel being the best.

At 19", the only gaming panel I would buy is the Samsung Syncmaster 193P, it's only shortcoming is that it uses the newer VA technology, which doesn't have the response of TN - yet - but does have a nice wide viewing angle of over 170 degrees, the older TN panels have a much more restrictive field of view. I would avoid Sony's new Black LCD technology for now.

The Samsung is around us$899 right now, the good 17" are a lot less.
