Not trying to be an arse here JuggernautOfWar, just stating my opinion of the LCD technology
Taken from Tom's hardware site: "There's 1000 milliseconds in a second (like thousand milliliters in a liter). There's 1000 microseconds in a millisecond, and there's 1000 nanoseconds in a microsecond. And to be complete: a decisecond is a tenth of a second, and a centisecond is .01 seconds. These last two are never used in practice. You see them occasionally in combination with liters (volumetric measurement).

If you have a refresh rate (in case of LCD response rate is the proper term really) of 2 milliseconds, then you can refresh/change the pixels on the screen 1/0.002 = 500 times a second, hence referred to as 500 frames per second, or 500 fps. (8ms rr = 125 fps, 12ms = 83 fps, etc)."

With 2 ms monitors today arent CRT's obsolete? 2ms LCDs are great. Most of the things you mentioned arent really that much of an issue anymore as far as color, veiwing angles and such. They might have been when LCDs first came out. When LCDs first came out 2ms wasnt even close to possible.
