Rock solid in my experience.  I've never had any flicker or noise.  I 
have dual screens (same LCDs) on an Apple and one is VGA the other is 
DVI. You can't tell the difference between them.

I do agree about photo and visual work on LCD's though.  There is no 
colour balancing on LCDs so it's a bit of a gamble.  The emphasis on 
LCD is that the device driving will set the colour, and you can under 
OSX with little problem, bar the fact you need an external colour 
calibration device to see what you are really setting.

I still prefer a CRT for colour correction, but using Vector and 
other scopes we've learned to tune quite well :)
