Can you reccomend me 19" LCD monitor thats, best for games, and maybe movies, and that cost around 350-400 euros?
Are Samsung 913n or 913v good choices (whats the difference between these two?)

I like my new L90D.

After getting the monitor and playing CS:S, BF2, UT 2004 and some good old Quake 3 I love it. I use the DVI connection and I can't see any ghosting in games. The color reproduction is not what I need for my graphics work but for gaming it is an awesome monitor.

So take it from a very demanding gamer, if you play games on the L90D you will be very happy with it's gaming performance.

The Hyundai L90D and Samsung 915N are probably the best 19" gaming monitors, in regards to response time. Neither of them can display the full color gamut, but they at least emulate it. I have a 17" version of the Samsung 915N and I'm fairly happy. Games like Wolfenstein don't show ghosting much, if at all. When I ran Battlefield 2 things changed a little, but I'm getting used to it. Since SEDs won't be coming for a while, don't bother waiting for them. (SEDs are the new thin CRTs.) Nor will the OLEDs.

I love my L90D.

+have to work really hard to see ghosting
+big
+bright
+very adjustable
+8ms = good

-if ur used to CRT's, resolution is capped at 12x10
-i am told the color is less than ideal. Not something I'd notice
-the buttons are hard to press

I just got a SyncMaster 930B. Seems very nice, don't notice any ghosting in games. Waiting for my X800XL to get here so I can use DVI though.

What about 20" gaming lcds? I've heard the dell 2001FP isn't a great choice. What about the 2004FP?

The 2005 fpw is a great gaming monitor. After playing games in widescreen, I will never go back to the "Square".
