My very first experience with an LCD monitor was not a very impressive one. My high school had just upgraded their computers to some brand new Dell machines that came with flat panel monitors. The very first thing I noticed when I turned the computer on, was that the monitor puked up a nauseating image that was extremely blurry and pretty hard on the eyes. I was disgusted that a company would even dare put out a product like that without being embarrassed; and what really amazed me was the price people actually paid for these pieces of junk. Over the years since then I have seen a few different LCDs in use, and every single one of them had the same issues: blurry picture, ghosting, poor response, etc.
