So anyways...Thanksgiving sales coming up soon and everything so I decided that I should buy an LCD to save my eyes from this horrible 8 year old CRT. First off, there are a couple monitors that I have been looking at for a while, mostly with low latency, and good overall ratings in features, backlighting, uniformity, color accuracy...everything like that. 1. Dell 2005fpw Dell Widescreen godliness + Anandtech + many others say that this uses the same exact lg phillips panel as the Apple Cinema Display Massive + 2. Samsung 940b - Typical stuff, nothing real fancy, but its pretty reasonably priced too 3. Viewsonic Vx924 - 4ms response time - but only 19''. I dunno what to get please help. If any of you have any of these monitors or one that you highly recommend for playing games and watching movies with, please respond

Here are some arguments in favour of Viewsonic, which to my opinion is the best choice in this situation:

1. Well-recommended and time-proved brand.
2. Excellent quality of lcd matrix and pixels.
3. Very good terms of warranty and broken pixels.
4. Fastest available matrix response (4ms).

About dell - nothing special, except "big" name and hight price.

Between I'm using a Samsung LCD right now and it's pretty good, but still the only reason I bought it - it's a lot cheaper than Viewsonic.
