LCD Gaming monitors?!?

[cantbprince]

I am looking at a dell monitor (the ones that go on sale with the stackable coupons mainly the Dell 2005FPW 20.1" Widescreen LCD)

Is this a good choice for a gaming monitor??? What else could i go with that would give me excellent gaming, high resolutions, and of course low response times.

I'd rather have a 2001FP (5:4) instead of a widescreen monitor for gaming.

2005FPW Pros:
1) It's attractive...and widescreen!
2) UT2004 looks amazing @ 1680x1050! However not all games look as good. Stretching is nasty.

Cons:
3) Way too bright. Even with brightness @ 0 it's still too bright!
4) Backlight bleeding
5) Contrast ratio not as good as the 1800FP. I can see very faint vertical lines on a solid black background.
6) 1 stuck pixel (green) in the upper right and cannot be massaged out.

Bottom Line:
I returned the 2005FPW and went back to my kickass 1800FP.

Forget that post about the 2005fpw having any cons, it is perfect!

Dell 2005FPW or Dell 2001FPW. Both great monitors, but I like the screen real estate of the 2005FPW.

My vote is for the Hyundai L90D+

what response times do these monitors have? Are they good for gaming, or do they ghost?
