The Dell 19" LCD probably has only 6 bit per color and use dithering to similate 16.2 million colors. I am pretty unhappy with mine also.

I would be surprised if one can get any LCD monitor for PCs that is not TFT today. Passive matrix LCDs were typically deployed in lower cost laptops years ago when active matrix LCDs are too expensiv ...

I can see 35 numbers, but my "30" is not so dim. Does that mean my LCD is too bright, or its gamma too high?
