I'm looking at one of these nullNEC Mitsubishi LCD1860NX . I'm assuming that it's the same as the one that's on sale at Best Buy under the Mitsu badge Best Buy Version. I want some deskspace, so I'm looking at this LCD. Does it perform decent for gaming? (Plan on playing 2-4 hours a week, some FPS, etc).

Here are some specs.

LCD Module:

18.1-inch (18.1" viewable image size), active
matrix, thin film transistor (TFT), liquid
crystal display (LCD), 0.281 mm dot pitch,
200 cd/m2 white luminance -
typical, 350:1 contrast ratio - typical,
30ms response time - typical

Am I going to encounter ghosting?

With a 30 ms response time you will encounter ghosting in Fps or any fast action games...

Hold off until the next round of Dell LCD deals. I was able to pick up a 18.1"LCD for roughly $350 or so sometime ago.

What should I be looking for in a LCD so I'll be ok to play games? I would like to have a DVI input.

25ms or lesswith 16ms being the best. However most if not all 18" lcds have 30+ms response times for some reason. You would be better off going up to a 19" with 25ms or down to a 17" with a 16ms response time. There are a few people that have the dell 18" and say they have no ghosting though.
