best 15" monitor?

[theREALSiren]

I'm running a GEM GL-715A
and I've been playing, Mafia, NOLF2, watching DVDs ... and etc on it, games looks great (sometimes a little choppy, only for a few secs), movies run smooth, no problems what so ever.
but the specs of my monitor isn't so great or is it?:

LCD Type XGA TFT
Size 15.1"
Pixel Pitch 0.297 mm
Resolution 1024 x 768
Viewing Angle 120º / 100º (Horizontal/Vertical)
Contrast Ratio 350:1 Typical
Brightness 200 cd/m2 Typical
Response Time 40 ms (Typical)
50ms (Maximum)
Colors 16.7 Million

anyway I know there a some experts out there who could answer my question
"should I get a better 15" LCD?"
"which is the best 15" LCD out there right now?"

I think I'm gonna stick with a 15" cause I wanna get two and run a dual monitor set up (and two 17"s would be too expensive)

thanks in advanced

From my understanding, the best would be this one:

The BENQ FP 567S (S is very important as it is the newer model)

But I cannot say that for sure as I have not saw it in person and I cannot find reviews, which is understandable as this is brand new. But 400:1 Contrast Ratio and 16ms response time for UNDER $300 is pretty amazing.

Edit: But as far as if you should go with a new one that is up too you. It sounds like your current one does what you need. The ghosting would bother me though and I would move to a different monitor myself.

The best for gaming would be an LCD with 25ms or lower response and DVI inputs. Make sure your video card has DVI outputs and you wil get the best picture for an LCD.

Im waiting till LCDs break 10ms before I buy one.
