Yeah, I read them this evening, and interesting stuff. Seems I didn't do
too bad, and couldn't have done much better, since in the 22" WS arena,
only TN Panels are available.

Also, I use my monitor mostly for gaming, and some secondary
browsing/internet/etc use, so I'm not too interested in life-like colors.

Nonetheless, if/when the 22" Iiyama VM510 CRT I'm typing this on ever
dies, I'll try to see if a nice S-IPS panel based LCD is available which
also has a quick respons time. I've seen a few which are about 5ms, so it
is possible, but not in the 22" WS format. Yet anyway.

Thanks for the insights in any case. ;)

Regards, Patrick.
