I’m close to getting a new PC and I’m thinking of replacing an Iiyama 17" flat CRT (nearly 5 years old) with a 19" LCD monitor. I can’t accommodate a larger CRT. I’ve read endless reviews and the shortlist seems to Samsung SM913N or Sony HS95P; the Eizo is too expensive; then there are LG, CTX, Viewsonic,… The fast refresh rates coming along seem to get favourable comments. But I have one concern each with the Samsung and Sony:

Samsung: MagicBright – as the last thing I want is the monitor deciding what an image should look like when I’m trying to adjust it.

Sony: reflections and durability of its high-gloss panel, although I’m not troubled by relections on the CRT. My monitor is set back several inches inside a surrounding cabinet.

I’d appreciate comments from any satisfied (or dissatisfied!) users of these or alternative LCD panels good with Photoshop.

Thanks in advance.

Check out some of the Dells. They sometimes have great deals on them, and I understand they’re excellent monitors. One of the "majors" makes them for labeling under the Dell name. I’m aware of a number of digital imaging pros that are using them and are extremely happy. They’re especially happy with the sale price!

Yes, definitely check out the Dell 1905fp, for one. There are coupons everywhere if you google.
