Note that it is very important to be able to drive it at the monitor's
"native" resolution. DVI helps, but the one thing most likely to make a lcd
look bad is driving it at a resolution that can't be cleanly adapted to its
native resolution. LCD pixels are "hard" and will *always* be displayed in
the same grid coordinates, where even pinhole-screenmask CRTs are much
"softer" in that the display resolution never aligns exactly with the
current resolution.

Also, there is *one* remaining possible source of RFI on a LCD, if you're
unlucky. The backlight inverter board might possibly generate some RF on
frequencies you care about, especially if you're into LF experimentation.
This isn't nearly as bad as a CRT and can usually be fixed (with some
warranty-voiding), although chances are that another LCD (possibly even
another of this model) won't step on anything you care about.

Even in the worst case I've ever seen, LCD RFI falls off *much* more quickly
than that generated by a CRT and doesn't couple into nearby cables nearly so
well.

Of course, nothing's perfect: LCDs won't handle the wide temperature
extremes some shacks experience...  =)
