I'm running a 15" 1024x768 LCD too, so don't get mad at me, I'm not the one with a 24" 1920x1200 Dell LCD! :eviltongue:

I don't know a whole lot about LCD's. Having said that, here's my experiences with them. I have a Viewsonic VP201. When I bought it, there weren't too many 20" LCD's out. It has a 16ms refresh rate and I don't have a single problem with even the highest motion games. Meanwhile, my brother got an el-cheapo from some warehouse place for $150 for a 19" last summer. Need for Speed blurs like crazy, Quake4 blurs, about the only thing that doesn't blur is his golf game. And it has a 8ms time on it.

More the reason to go with the Viewsonic I offered... Widescreen 19" featuring a kickass 5ms response time... can't beat that. Sure it's open box, but it's $150!

I say save up for another few months and get a quality screen you are gonna be happy with for the next 5 years (at least).

If you want 5 years, wouldn't HDCP be smart (though this monitor lacks DVI)?

I'd save a bit longer and get yourself at least a 22" WS, they're coming down in price almost everyday, or so it seems anyway.

Exactly right. That's why I'm still suffering through with my old 15" 30ms LCD so I can get a 21"-24" LCD with all the goodies (1000:1 contrast ratio, HDCP, HDMI, Component Video, Composite Video, <8ms response time, 178º viewing angle, height adjustable stand, screen rotate, etc).

Dear god, 30ms? Did you buy this LCD when 15" ones were $800?
