OK well I bought the 26" planar and it's pretty darn spectacular (wow,
what a great size to view & edit photos!) but there are faint
flickering waves at about 10 degrees from horizontal at the highest
resolution in dark areas. Hmm, I just got off the phone with Planar &
they are sending a new one. It's not unbearable so I'll still use it
till the replacement arrives. I hope it is a bad unit & not my lame
video card :-) It flickers faintly at full res, not at the next
smaller resolution and flickers worse at the next smaller
resolution... when I described that they said they'd send me a new
one.

I would be interested to know if the new one is any better, Paul.

One defect I have seen on many LCD monitors is a slight tendency to "dot
crawl" in some parts of the display. It was sufficiently bad on one
display I had to take it back for an exchange. Mind you, the 1920 x 1200
resolution would be my next step up, so the PX2611W 26" Widescreen LCD
Monitor is a candidate.

It's not so much a "defect" as an artifact resulting from converting
digital video to analog and then back to digital. Sometimes the pixel
boundaries shift a little bit from one LCD pixel to the next.
