I'm not worried about viewing angle, as long as it looks good from the sweet spot, my chair at the desk. Color repro is a concern though. Potential for ghosting during fast moving games is a bigger one though. I haven't looked at LCD Tv's in a while, but I definitely noticed motion blur in the past while watching one.(pre 120hz days) I want to make sure that isn't an issue with whatever monitor I end up with. I'd like to keep the monitor under $300 as well.
