I have a 2405fpw and it's a great monitor but shouldn't be compared to a 19". That doesn't make any sense to me. My gripe with this beast is that to run it you need a top end videocard and to run it at high settings is pretty much impossible even with a SLI setup in games like oblivion. With that said there is no blur, no dead pixels, no backlight bleeding, and the features on this thing are amazing. I would recommend this thing if you're looking for a big wide screen monitor. I've compared it to a Benq 17" 8ms response time monitor just to see if I had ghosting but wasn't picking up on it since I was used to it, but didn't see any. YMMV and hopefully this 19" will rock your world like you say it will. If you're ultra sensitive to ghosting maybe that's the perfect monitor for you.
