Don't know anything about this stuff, but I have noticed that the Boss in an Office that I do some work for has a 17" flat screen monitor.
It seems to my eyes that if there is any kind of light reflecting on the screen, like sunlight or even fluro or plain globes, the pic seems to go quite 'dull'.
Maybe he just has a cheapy, but it's put me off.
You can shine a torch (flashlight) at my old fashion AGP and can still see everything pretty well. ;D
