OT: What to know before buying an LCD monitor??

I have a MAG innovision display. I am happy to say that I have 0 dead pixels.

Also, there's programs avaliable to fix the colors on a LCD. I used the Monitor Calibration Wizard and the colors on my monitor are now a lot crisper. Stuff that's supposed to be absolute black are actually absolute black on my screen, after running that program.

Wow, that actually worked pretty good. It's easier to watch dark movies on mine now... Seems that the straight linear signal map was causing blues and reds to not become visible until around 10% brightness. Thanks for the link!

No problem. That's what you find when you're bored, and tired of how your monitor works... It works for all monitors too, so try it on your CRT screen if you have one.
