Hi you all. Amazing forum you constitute here. Always makes me very happy when I find a good forum like this. So today I'm happy. 
The short:
The quest seems to be for the best allaround TFT for the lowest price. I'm looking for a screen that makes text reading easier. I want to look on all parameters which include: image quality, bresel design and stability.
The questions (All about 19"):
1. Are ISP panels in your opinion best for text reading ergonomics? What would be better?
2. What monitors do have ISP panels and what models could be speced to have ISP but will have something else? Looking at:
LG 1930B
IIyama E481S-S
Sony SDM-S93
Sony SDM-S94 (not P)
3. Whats the story with Viewsonics panels? Are they 6+2? What models to check out or avoid? Looking at:
VG910S
VP912B There is a difference between B and S. Anti glare coating on S. Which makes it TCO03 and B TCO99.
VP912S
VP191B Difference?
VP191S
VX912
4. Where to go if I want a PVA or MVA?
Samsung 910T
Samsung 920T
Eizo L768
5. Opinions on sparsely documented screens like Sony's X-black screens and various Philips models. Any of them ISP for instance?
6. Are there any next generation panels around the corner that are worth waiting for (usually isnt). I surely dont want to wait several years for a SED or FED display.

The extremly long:
I've lazily been monitoring the TFT market for a couple of years now. It all started when I got problems with my previous CRT (which I was relatively satisfied with) and had to replace it getting a crappy variant. I then started to look for a new montior and realised that there wasnt any good CRTs anymore. All of them had production problems and almost all had aperture grille or similar techniques that seemed very haphazard when it came to image quality. I especially have problem with the convergence of these types of montiors. I get headaches and my eyes got tired from the focusing problems you get when convergence is slightly off. I considered buying an old shadowmask secondhand Eizo, but older monitors, even Eizo, seems to loose focus after a while.
Thus I started to look for a TFT. First prices were too steep and the specs too crappy. And noone wanted to include DVI. I also didnt like the small pixel size of 17" screens. The 15" all had crappy old displays. Then I started looking at 19".. prices too steep and dead pixel crap.. I continued to follow. Saw Samsung produce some models where the specs looked alright and the dead pixel issue is being take seriously. Also saw the comback of TN displays with fake response time, wtf I thought do they have to market hoax asunder yet another product market? Oh good.. some brads kept making new 8 bit displays but prices still too steep. And now .. 2005. Prices seems to have dropped like bombs. You can get a quite good 19" for the same as I gave for the decent 17" CRT I bought 5 years ago. But are the specs good enough? I dont know. Lately I've been reading up on the technology and forums and everything going into more detail whats going on. Seems like the response time hoax is killing the "popular among the knowers" ISP displays. There are some 'buts' though. Can you get an ISP and is it good enough for text reading? What the hell is this 6+2 bit thing that Viewsonic is playing with and most reviewers seems to like and what models uses it and which doesent?
What do I want? I just want ergonomics. Man.. If could construct my own screen it would probably be a 6 bit greyscale 19" with native resolution of 1024x768. Huge text with perfect stability and it must be possible to make this cheap. 
What is ergonomics then? Image has to be stable and sharp I guess. Then its hard to tell.. you have to spend some very long time before you know it works or not. PVA and MVA screens is said to have blacker blacks.. might be a factor in this .. I dont know. I'm pretty sure viewing angle is a factor. Color is less important unless you get funky combinations. For example I saw some reports that some PVA screens get whiteish shadows when displaying black text on grey background. I tend to use nonwhite but light backgrounds. I try to imitate the background of the room and the screen borders but you never come close to that. I'm also not sure if responsiveness is a factor in the ergonomics equation. Logically for me motion blur is a natural occurence.. shouldent be too bad if its not 'strange' behaving in some way.. very fast scrolling and very high response times might be bad though.. hard to tell. Maybe the stand has to be flexible enough to be able to put it on a 30 degree angle from the floor. Do they exist? Are the so called 'pivots' like this? I dont care for spinning the screen 90 deg around its own axis. 5:4 aspect ratio is so close to square anyway.
What do I use it for? It varies. I'm a programmer and I mainly do 3D graphics programming.. however dont take me wrong. Response times doesent matter very much for it.. and if they did I could always dual with a CRT to check things out. Anyway, programming these days is mostly reading documents and manuals anyway so even if I'm not reading code I'm still reading on the screen. And I also use the machine to play some Warcraft and watch some movies and _again read_ great forums like these of course.
Lastly a factor which you might not see here too often: I dont want the monitor to make any sound or noise. Yes.. monitors do tend to buzz and hum.. some more than others. TFT less than CRT. Nevertheless .. its there.
Man. You read all your way down here? You must be crazy.. that or simply enjoying a really good screen that makes it pleasurable to read. 
Thanks for doing it anyhow.
