Is it my imagonation, or does the stand on this thing just suck?

Best price I've seen on a 20" widescreen, but 20" WS is too short for my taste. I know, I have the Dell 2005FPW and I prefer my 19" 4:3 LCD for Web browsing. standard fonts on it are just way better..

Wow.. I was considering a NEC 20WMGX2 but it is more than double the price of the BenQ... ahh I might as well stick with my 2001fp for a while longer...

That actually doesn't look too bad. I should probably replace this monstrocity of mine (Envision EN2028, 20" 1600*1200) that tends to ghost a lot in HL2 and has flickering issues.

I'm all out of money as far as upgrading my own system goes...otherwise I'd be buying this. I've been yearning for a low priced 20" widescreen LCD for a while now.

CGW speared this thing in their most recent issue, said it had no real "black level" at all.

I've been thinking about buying this. I think it looks great: totally clean, no junk to clutter up the frame, single color all over.

But the reviews I've read lately call it a mediocre panel, though :/. From what I understand, it is made to be a gamer's panel, where response time is more important than color accuracy. Cnet has a lame little video review, and they seem completely unimpressed by it.

Still, I may be ordering one in a few days, as a 2007fpw is out of my price range.
