There's a reason the Sceptre panels are inexpensive.. the few I've been exposed to have all been 6-bit panels. Especially the 19" and 21" models of around a year ago. It's bad enough where I can visibly see the color gradients. Same with the Hanns-G. Reponse time doesn't mean jack if the colors aren't smoothly blending.. I'd rather sacrifice some cash and a little response time for better colors, clarity, brightness, and contrast.
