LCD for gaming with good text

I am looking for a 19" LCD and I want it to have nice crisp text for Internet and word processing. However, I have a GF6600GT and want to play games on it with as little (or no) ghosting as possible (HL2, Doom 3, NFSU2). I'd make a slight trade-off in gaming for more readable text with less eye-strain. I also want a DVI connector. I was looking at the following as they fit in my budget of about $350.

Any recommendations?

Hyundai L90D+ (8ms)

Fuji Plus FP-988D (12ms)

BenQ (16ms)

I would also look at the Dell 1905 on their website. If you hang around the hot deals forum enough you'll see that they have some specials that get you in the $315-ish range, shipped. They are very fine monitors - I recommended one to my father and it's gorgeous, and he loves it.

edit- was wrong
 
I just got the Samsung 930B and its great. I had a problem with the first one (the colors would yellow out and horozontal lines appeared all over the screen) but office depot took it back without even asking for my reciept(!).The new one looks even better. The other one must have been defective (duh) because colors are better now. Anyway... Call of Duty and HL2 look great. So does UT 2004. Medal of Honor Allied Assult looks absolutely beautiful for an older FPS. Took me a while to adjust to the 19" flat panel from my old 17" crt monitor (so much real estate). Its priced nicely too. I got mine for $429 with a $50 rebate at office depot. No questions asked return policy at the store in my town it seems. I was going to get this or the Hyundai and I was looking at an 8ms BenQ that just ended up being too expensive. I hear the 930B is the same panel as the Hyundai and has digital and analog connections. I prefer the analog connection because my TV tuner and games look better and the text is nearly as sharp (if not as sharp) as the digital connection. Plus, the DVI cable set me back $40. It also has magic brite and natural color software that let you tweak the colors. 700:1 contrast and 8ms. I highly recommend the 930B.
