19" TFT Monitor

Hi,
I'm looking for a good 19" TFT monitor. I mostly do appliction work but I do play from time to time (if a game hocks me I'm likely to play it untill finished with it... about a day or two later) so I'd like as little ghosting as possible.
Anyone got a recommendation? I'm currently looking at the Hiatchi CML190SXW, it seems to be a good quality on paper but that doesn't always speak the truth, anyone got any experience with it? On good thing with Hiatchi is that they got a one dead pixle return policy.
Am I being foolish wanting a 19" monitor, should I go for 17" with 16 ms response time instead?


Thanks in advance

I noticed a difference in gaming when upgrading from my 1900FP (Samsung 191T) to 2001FP. So, the 25ms to 16ms response time is visible. For the record, I also preferred 100 Hz refreshes on my old CRT (and could tell the difference).
 
Samsung's got a newer panel out that's 20ms. Tom's says it still has some blur, but they seem to like it a lot. http://www.tomshardware.com/display/20040326/lcd-04.html

I've got the 191T+ (same panel as the 192, some Planar stuff, Dell 1901, etc.) which is the older version of the 193P and it's pretty good, but definetly blurs in games (blacks especially). NewEgg has the 193P (there's also a 193s which is the old panel).
