recommend a good LCD for me?

[yhlee]

I read through most of that huge stickied LCD buyer's guide and think I like the Samsung 244T or the Dell UltraSharp 2405FPW..

I was surprised to see my current monitor, the Samsung 214T listed as "Unsuitable for gaming" since it is decent, although I did notice that games like WOW and WC3 were a bit "blurry" on my monitor (I couldn't read signs for example if i was running) compared to a friend's CRT...

So, I want:
1) good for gaming (I have a radeon XT850PE, is that sucky by today's standards now?). i don't play wow, but i can see myself playing rts, fps, oblivion in the near future
2) component video, to hook up gamecube/xbox360
3) something > 23", ideally widescreen
4) < 2000$, ideally <1500$
5) this won't be my main TV, I have a projector for that. i could hook up my consoles to the projector, but i don't need such a big screen for solo gaming.. and playing fzero on it gives me motion sickness 😱

so many of these review sites seem to concentrate on cheaper monitors... do any of you have experience and recommendations?

thanks!

Dell 30" lcd
To play oblivion on this, you're going to need sli 7900gtx's which will run you another $900 or so. That's if you're feeling rich today. Other than that, the dell 24" is a good bet, but get a x1900xt to replace your x850xt. You should see a big improvement.
