Computer Flatpanels

[grizzle]

I've been using a pair of really good CRTs for gaming, photoshop, film editing, etc., and am getting a bit tired of the bulk and weight of these things. I'd like to finally graduate to flat panel type monitors, but am unsure about what the best flat panels would be that a) have timings quick enough for gaming so there is zero ghosting, and b) best/most accurate color, contrast, brightness, etc., to do advanced photo and film editing.

I have a budget, but right now, for argument's sake, let's claim no budget - what are the best flat panel monitors for these sorts of activity?

Thanks in advance!
