Suggestions Needed For A Good 19" LCD

[Masque]

As the title states, I'm currently searching for a low response time (and yes, I know that's not the only important factor) unit. Primary focus will be for gaming....I'm trying to avoid any ghosting at all. DVI input capability is preferred to go with my X800 Pro.

Any suggestions would be most welcome with my thanks in advance.

The monitor we keep getting special deals for here: https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic24425.html is an incredible monitor. Although it's a 20" widescreen many of the games today are starting to support this mode. Also, it's not the best for gaming, but 12ms at this size is hard to beat. I've seen this monitor in action and it's incredible. The only downside is that you really need to run your games at the monitor's native resolution - which is 1680x1050. Unless you have a beefy video card (which you do for most of today's games) things just won't be as crisp.

Thanks....I'll take a look at that.

FYI - one of my best friends uses this monitor as his primary monitor and he's a gamer. He retired his 2001FP because this monitor was visibly superior in performance. He tried a dual display setup with these two monitors but it just made the 2001FP look bad. He mainly plays WoW and HL2 on it and he has no complaints.

Looks like it may be the direction I take. Did it take much for him to get used to the wide screen effect?

He fell in love with it right away - although it does make him upset when he plays a game that doesn't support widescreen. So far we haven't found a single EA game that supports it.

NIts - is a decent monitor that is usually half as much as a samsung or sony monitor. I ve had no complaints and im BTgamer. Although the only problem I had occured with a game Ra2 when changing the window size ingame to 1024-768... only because I tried to sync the screen after, then it remained black and white verticle strips. Had to reinstall the game to remedy the issue. If you have no money restrictions.

No offense taken.....and thanks for the input. I'm starting to lean towards the 2005FPW though that papa suggests.....hopefully, I'll make a decision shortly....it intrigues me to say the least.

I've recently gotten a ViewSonic vx912 & even though I also have a 19" CRT (I'm running a DualView config), I still play games on the LCD instead of the CRT.

i saw some $300 samsung 19" displays at costco and they were spectacular. before they were all gone, i used them in some new builds for a client, and they were impressed with it even after looking at the screen 9 hours a day. i can't recall the model for sure though, and you may not be able to find 'em that cheap (they were on sale at the time).

My advice would be, get anything LG... ive had my LG Flatron CRT 19" for about 5 years, and im yet to get a dead pixels or any problems at all.
