samsung 171p anyone?

I need a lcd. cml174 seems to be the perfect answer , the only thing is it's not in any of my stores, and I'd really like to see it and touch it before buying it.
I've heard the samsung 171p looks great. Did anyone try any -->games<-- on it , or even better, does anyone actually have one? like... is it worth gettin my butt to the store and buying it or should i just order the hitachi?

and then what's the deal with the subpixels? i dont wanna get any dead pixels/subpixels! If i order it from an online store and it has dead pixels, i can return it right? i've heard monitorsdirect has a "no dead pixel" policy, but i cant order from em cuz i'm up north in canada. Is it possible that i get stuck with a lcd that has a dead pixel? cuz that would be a real b*tch.!

anyways, i hope you guys can gimme some advice on those 2 monitors. It's so confusing. there should be one monitor that everybody knows is the best at the moment, but that's just me.

thanks in advance

Mwave ships to Canada and has it.

25ms, not .25. Also, given that it uses PVA, it's prone to the bad response time in greys.

Hum, i see... In the end, i guess i'll go check out the samsung in person. I'm a gamer, yes, but i think, like oymd, i won't notice/care that much about the ghosting as long as it doesn't affect my game too much. And then if i have a defective pixel, i can go and bring it to the store myself vs dealing with emails and phone calls etc. it is a bit pricey though.... but i guess it's worth it for the eye care, if u know what i mean.
