those Acers use TN panels (6 bit per channel)
I think if you're going to be doing any graphics work, the 6bit dithering will end up being a sore spot.
most 6it panels will say 16.2 million colours (as opposed to 16.7 M in 8bit {like your Planar}). they can actually display 262,144 colours without dithering so it's a bit of a fudged number.
it can be really hard to find out what panel type a particular monitor uses. your best bet is to look for a review once you find one you like and see if they say. IPS, MVA or PVA
are all 8bit, high quality panels. I'd recommend getting a 19" with one of those over the big shitty one.
