As you did with CRT monitors, you look at it before purchase. I found a monitor with wavy lines going through it at more than a few stores and that is alarming since the defect is not in any spec. That defect is likely to a badly designed power supply, but no spec would save you from getting that monitor.
Go shopping!

Am gathering info to buy my first (17") LCD monitor. What specs are most important? Is Contrast Ratio an important spec, and is it measured low to high (higher being better)? I've noticed that it varies quite a bit from model to model. Thank you!
