Help choosing a new LCD monitor(s)

Not too happy with my current choice (too much ghosting in games, etc.) and have been dying to try a dual monitor system, so I am considering dual 17" LCD monitors, but I want to play games and see video without tearing, etc.

Here are some of my concerns:

Company with a GREAT dead pixel policy. Wont stand for dead pixels.
Fast response time, 12 ms or so.
Good Brightness
Good contrast ratio

Interested in anyones opinions, if they have a monitor they are happy with all around or maybe have seen some reviews to some really good LCD monitors. Obviously this would even include just a company you know has a good dead pixel return policy.

Thanks for your thoughts.

 

I know about refresh rates I have a Samsung 213t, 21" LCD now... It is just an older model and not capable of the faster response times some have now.... I was considering a Samsung 17", but figured someone might have some thoughts.

The dead pixels are something that just annoys me a lot, so a companies policy is important to me at this point.

 

Hmm, did not even consider Dell, but will take a look. Probably going to drop down to 17" just on a cost basis, but I will consider Dell.

 

Nice monitor, only downside might be it looks like ti has speakers and a bit wide to the sides for a dual monitor setup. If I wanted a single, thats an excellent price considering the response time. Good choice!
