Note that I knew nothing about LCD's at the time and thus wasn't evaluating the monitor or trying to look for anything about its performance. The picture was that incredible. The response time seemed to be adequate for most games, although there may have been some input lag in Quake IV (can't remember).Originally posted by: EliteRetard

They still make 4:3 LCDs.

These are both 20" 1600x1200 LCDs. I don't think anyone ever made a higher resolution 4:3 LCD, so you didn't miss out on anything.
Ouch...those appear to be quite a bit lower quality and quite a bit more expensive than the one my freind has (his was in the 200$ range). 16ms response time?!
Yes. Do not equate response time to quality. The LCD's with the lowest response times are TN panels, which are arguably the lowest quality. Your buddy's Sammy 204b is a TN panel, and I'm pretty sure that image quality on the Dell 2007FP is going to be much better and more uniform than the image on the 204b. Although, the response time of the 204b will be better.
If you're looking at cheap LCD's this might actually the be reason they are giving you headaches. Many, many monitors nowadays come from the factory WAY too bright with the colors completely over saturated. This gives me a headache too, regardless of aspect ratio.
