I bought this monitor last Friday for my birthday. I loved my Samsung 19 inch CRT so I was worried. So far I have been very pleased. Let?s get to the point. Gaming! No ghosting so far. I have a ATI X850 pro. HL2 looks and plays great. GUN looks great. (As great as it can) That is all that I have tried on it. I plan on installing F.E.A.R again just to see what it looks like.

Photoshop. Looks ok. I think it just needs to be calibrated so I plan on buying Spyder2 and that should fix my issue.

Going from a 19 CRT to 20 LCD is a improvement. I recommend it.

Overall, it's a good monitor for gaming, though not as fast as the fastest 19 inchers. For a TN panel, it has pretty good colors, blacks, video playback and IQ in general. The vertical viewing angle sucks big time though, like on every TN monitor. Also, gradient transitions and colors in general are not as accurate and crisp as on 8 bit panels.

ghosting is weird as i have gamed on some lcds that should have ghosted but didn't, sony, mag, etc, but these were smaller so maybe that has do with it.
