Sucks like POS
I can take pics for you for all Dell monitor

I got the 1800FP. 1900 FP, 2000FP, not one but at least 4-5 of each.

That 1900 fp which is Samsung 191t does not have 25 ms, i been telling people that since feb.

You will get dizzy, I do counterstrike.. I even lower my video card to 25 fps and it still ghosts

CRT is the way to go till they come out with 0ms delay

I'm using the Samsung 171S LCD right now, and it's excellent for games. I've seen theh Dell 1702FP before, and the Samsung is a lot more responsive. I've tried UT2003, JK2 and CS, they all look great on my Radeon 8500. The only drawback is that it's analog only (no DVI), but I could never notice the difference anyway.

LCD dont do well with games.

Not to rip on people but those that are saying the do are jsut saying that to combat something called cognitive disonance. Put simply: They paid/decided on an LCD and now they are going to say its good no mater what so that they don't feel crappy about the choice they made.

Well if the game you are planning on playing is solitaire then that would be a great monitor, but if you want to play any game that has decent graphics I would recommend getting a really good crt monitor. That is of course just my opinion on the subject.
