Is the Dell 1905fp a mistake for casual gamers?

It's so cheap right now... $310. I am tempted but I don't want ot shoot myself in the foot if ghosting is aweful. I have the Acer 1914 12ms lcd and it just bothers me. No height adjustment and not as good specs as the dell (but it's 12ms). I have had a Planar PX17 16ms lcd for a few years but want a bigger screen. I am a casual gamer who plays a couple hours a week (HL2) and when a good game comes out. Use comp for Internet and photos, etc.

No, it's not a mistake. I bought one about a month ago, and I love it. I was coming from a CRT, and although the difference is noticable, I can't say it really bothers me at all. I was a little reluctant at first, as I was sure I was going to notice it and then notice nothing *but* it. But that hasn't happened. Right now I play primarily WoW, with a little Doom 3 or UT2004 every now and then, and I'm happy with the unit.
