For an LCD I insist on 8-bit per RGB channel [24-bit RGB] NOT 6-bit
like many monitors on the market when I bought an ACER AL1951 19" on
specs only—ordered one in. Love it.
The top end LG monitors I was considering at the time were all 6-bit
as was Sony and Samsung. Maybe things have improved. I no longer
check.
6-bit LCD monitors use dithering to get 24-bit RGB.
How to tell?
16.2 million colours = 6-bit
16.7 million colours = 8-bit
example:
http://ca.lge.com/en/index.do
LG LCD Monitors
Model : L1718S
Display Colours :16.2M Colours
---
http://global.acer.com/products/monitor/lcd.htm
ACER LCD Monitors
Model: AL1952
Colour support: 24-bit (16.7 million colours) ... [it took a google
search to find that @ http://www.amazon.co.uk/ ]
---end

The first thing I look for is to make sure it's a CRT. LCDs are nice for
most purposes, but for color reproduction, they've got an annoying tendancy
to mess up the color if you're not sitting in exactly the right spot.
After that, I look for things like low weight (if it's over about 75
pounds, I can't lift it onto my desk by myself), high dpi, and a reputation
for quality. It used to be that you could go into a computer store and
check out the monitors in person, but these days, the only way to buy a CRT
is online.
