Any good 19" widescreen LCD?

[BehindEnemyLines]

I've looked at several brands, but the ViewSonic VA1912WB stands out as very good according to user reviews. Any others that are better than this? Little or no ghosting, good color reproduction, and sharp text (a must) at native resolution.

for gaming/movies, stick with a 17" monitor for lower dot pitch=sharper picture.
I like this one

Benq 202FP - actually 20", but pretty good resolution...

After seeing the 19" widescreen, I'm a bit spoiled. Movies look so better without those distracting letter box on top and bottom.

Well all the 19" ws currently on the market are undoubtebly all TN's which means poorer color and lesser viewing angle, which i find neccesary for ws lcd's. Most all of the manufacturers are using the same panel as well, so ide just go wit the cheapest one with dvi.

I bought the Viewsonic VA1912WB (my wife now uses it, though). Movies very nice, with the only problem being that backlight bleeding is slightly higher on this LCD compared to the LCDs in my sig. My main problem was that it did not scale properly, even though I have selected all the proper options for my video card driver. My other LCDs scale fine under the same conditions. Otherwise its a very good display for the price. There is some ghosting, but not too bad. Its a 6-bit TN panel, so you need to watch movies from stright ahead. The viewing angles are noticably worse than my other BenQ TN LCDs.

The next step up would be a 20" widescreen - Viewsonic has a very good SPVA display, but costs $100 more.
