I need a recommendation for a fast LCD for gaming that supports non-native resolutions well

I know some LCDs scale better than others, so I'm looking for something that can play games with minimal ghosting and will look good in 800x600 and 1024x768, because I like to play some of my games in these resolutions. I just need something that sucks the least when scaling. I know 8-bit panels do so better than 6-bit ones. Don't say about getting a better computer/video card cause chances are I have a better computer than you, I just LIKE my certain games in certain resolutions, so that's that.

I know I should get a CRT in this case, but I already have a really good one, and I just HATE THEM. My house is possessed or something because my screen is always shaking, no matter the resolution or refresh rate, I think there just too much EMI in it or something. I just use the resolution/refresh rate which shakes the least (my case, 1280x1024 (hate it), @ 120 (hate it)).

Plus I lan every few weeks and my 50 pound 19 incher is killing my weak little body.

And LCDs are more comfortable on my eyes.

Has too be 19 inches, price limit is $600
 
Get a 2001fp on sale from Dell.
20"
decent scaling, and 800x600 is an even division, so while things might look jaggy (fixable to some extent with AA), they won't be very blurry (what usually happens when running an LCD at non-native res)
4x3 (bit less hassles with older/some newer games, and again allows for even pixel division)
video inputs
high res
16ms response time that most people (including myself) don't feel streaks much at all
 
Thanks, I really appreciate the suggestions.

Generally I've been recommended the Hyndai L90D+ or Viewsonic VP191b. And I can get the Samsung 930B or NEC 1970GX at a decent ammount off with my Best Buy employee discount.

Any information on how well these three scale/compare to that Dell would also helpful.

I'm not too picky on ghosting, but I don't like the Dell's response, can I return it?
 
Hmm nice, although I like my desktop at 1280x1024 and I don't go above that for games generally.
