Mike,
response time is not that important unless you're a serious gaming buff and need the quick graphical reflexes on, say, a combat game etc without the refresh lines becoming visible.
Contrast ration -> do you mean aspect ratio? 16:9 17", 4:3 15" etc.

While we're on the subject...
When shopping for a new screen, what does one look for when seeking an LCD screen? Is it image brightness, response time, contrast ratio, or other stuff??

BootCamp will not work on the Imac24 at present, I have one running OS ver 10.4.8 and will have to wait for the next software release (Leopard ) which is due within weeks, other intel based Macs may allow windows to be installed however.

It is an excellent machine however and the monitor is something else, good luck with your search, I will not be looking at Vista as far too many problems are being experienced right now, Ubuntu Linux will have an exciting new release in mid April, I run the latest version dual booting with Xp on a dell inspiron 6000 and it is excellent, must get some astronomy related software for the imac
