My objective is to get the largest monitor I can that works well for gaming and spend under $600(as much under as possible). I am currently considering 2 models:

ViewSonic VP171B
Dell 1800FP

The Viewsonic is only 17" but has the fast 16ms response time which means virtually no ghosting. The Dell is 18" but I have heard that it has some ghosting. From what I can gather it really bothers some people but others don't really notice it. So I'm not sure. I was originally thinking about 19" monitors but they all seem to have problems with ghosting because they have slower response times. What monitor(s) would you recommend?
 
I just bought the Viewsonic from Dell.com


It's on sale right now. After the 10% off and $50 of $450 stackable coupon I got the LCD for $426.96 w/ free shipping.



So far all the reviews have been pretty good on this LCD.

Also consider NEC/Mitsubishi 1760NX...also 16ms response time, a great monitor with a cool look for $455 shipped from Newegg.
