Cant say ive seen it first hand, looks nice, but its borderline 25ms, might get some ghosting with gaming.

Thanks Z, what does that mean, ghosting that is, is it a delay of some sort??

delay kinda, basically, it's like a crt when you have a black background and run your white mouse across it.. the trail it might leave behind... only with LCD's, ghosting is with EVERYTHING... makes the screen go blurry and kinda ugly.... some people it effects quite a bit ...give them headaches.... hard to see... hard to focus..... annoying to some....

personally, for image editing and gaming.... nothing tops a good CRT yet...

Thanks Judas, so actually my old crt monitor could be better in terms of gaming??

I have one of these here and there is some noticable ghosting in some games. Nothing crazy but it will get to you it until you get used to it. I replaced my brothers 930SB ctr with this one and he doesn't complain. The 2001FP is much better if you can find one of those, better than even ctr's IMO.

Thanks Dipstick, There is the 2001FP to but a bit more expensive of course, but I will look in to that as well.
