What should i look for in an LCD monitor?
 

i have no clue, so tell me what specs i should look for.

color, big

yes color is a big thing these days
I just got color on my TV, it's great

The response rate, the lower the better.

Samsung SyncMaster 191T :thumbsup

what about contrast ratio?
response time?

shit like that?

Don't worry about refresh rate, doesn't matter with TFT
For gaming you need a response time of <20ms, but if you don't play games, it doesn't really matter with modern panels.
Get something about 400:1 contrast.

I would look for brightness of at least 200-250 cd, contrast ratio of 300:1 and higher, digital as well as analog inputs for scalabilty, and of course screen size and design. Also look at warranty and be sure to check Ebay and Pricescan.

Samsung 191t

don't bother with anything less.
