Markus, do you know any software which gives a good implementation of B/W filters?

Sorry, no. I do b&w conversions occasionally only and for my needs usually get along with the colour sliders in Aperture (plus a touch of sepia toning). I hardly have any experience with real colour filters on b&w film, so I cannot really comment on the quality or degree of realism of those sliders.
I've heard lots of good things about Silver Efex, though, coming from users who are really into b&w.
I'm sure Dave's comment about the rear LCD being colour was meant ironically. However, jenbenn certainly has a point regarding the display's resolution. Both the M9, but even more so the new X2, look fairly outdated with these displays. It's a sad fact that on a camera that features very high sharpness on pixel level you cannot access these details (or even reliably check focus) until you're back home.
