simply put, i want to know what gaming experiences you've had with it.
i've read some of the guides and im getting mixed reviews about sceptre monitors. i figure the best opinions are the ones from actual owners.

have you gamed vigorously with it? (fast first person shooters, racing games)
satisfied?
would u buy it again?

my girlfriend had one for about 6 months it was a 19" with a 12ms response time and she does play some first person shooters.
Now there not all the same but overall i wasn't real impressed. It had alot of backlight bleeding as well as 2 pixels that "stuck" after about 3 months of use.
As far as gaming it did alright, I suppose one of there higher priced models with atleast 8ms would be alright.

I own the 19" Sceptre Naga X9WG (19" widescreen), have had it for over six months now.

I like it. Really my only regret is not getting a larger size as 1440x900 is kind of small. I play CS:S along with random MMORPGs and occasionally some BF2 and it's never given me any issues.

However I should note that it's my first LCD monitor and I really have no basis for comparison. I moved over from a 19" CRT at 85Hz refresh though and I haven't had any issues. Really the hardest part was the first few days getting used to viewing angles, but after the first week you stop noticing.
