If you are just using this for business apps and surfing, I doubt you will notice anything. The 1800 is not a "gaming" display for sure as there will be some slight ghosting on graphic intensive games. I have an 1800 and we have 1703 at work, but I have not seen them side by side. If you have a good video card you can adjust the 1800 to suit what you want. I personally think the contrast issue is all blown out of proportion. Like I said I haven't had them side by side, but in working at home and office, I really fail to see the difference. IMHO stay with the bigger screen, or perhaps trade it in for a 1901fp. After all, aren't we told bigger is better!!
I think the 1703FP has a better refresh rate, and better contrast. Also it's more adjustable, and I think it can display in both portrait and landscape modes (just like the 1901FP and 2001FP) with the right drivers.
