just want to let you know that the first LCD monitor test (17in) has popped up with response time measurements. Its a german magazine (PC professionell):

results are here:

http://www.vnunet.de/pc-pro/testzone/detail.asp?ArticleID=3548&AT=29&Page=9&RefID=3560

columns are as follows:

Scharfe: sharpness
Luminanz: luminance (brightness)
Kontrastverhältnis: contrast ratio
Homogenitat: luminance variation (how even is a white picte)
darstellbare Farben: viewable colors
Reaktionszeit: response time (in milli seconds => smaller = better)
Leistungsaufnahme: power consumption



(try babelfish.altavista.com for translation)

Obviously they've measuremd the b/w only. A bit disappointing b/c you can get these numbers as well from product info (or better from the panels specs) but the most important number the *gray-response* is not taken into account. But it is exactly this gray response which makes all existing panel variants different.
Also what does the measured black/white response tell us? I know already that this very number is varying quite a lot even for one and the same panel type. Just because of production tolerances.

I'm going to analyze the test results next couple of days.

The winner of the test is Eizo L565. It has the shortest measured resp. time of 25.3ms.
Its interesting to compare monitors with fujitsu 17.4in MVA panel:
Videoseven L17.4A: 30.9ms
Claxan LCD-8174: 35.3ms
Strange but for the Claxan they've measured a contrasts ratio of 664 while the videoseven has only 231.
