To add to an AIW 9700 - Whats the Best Monitor for Gaming???

[buckyshimp]

Hello all. I am doing a complete overhaul on my system, and the focus is on replacing my 5 year old CRT. I want something that will work for PC gaming, general PC use, and TV. I'm getting the 9700 pro All-In-Wonder!!! Sweet, but anyway... What are some very high quality monitors for this purpose? I'm thinking CRT, but I say an Apple Cinema Display 20" today that was impecable. Beautiful. It's $1300 price tag is restrictive, any cheaper options. Thanks in advance,
peace

I'll drop the puck for my Viewsonic P220f, also available as the P225f.

Next!

Mitsubishi 22" Diamond Pro is very impressive - ~$720.

ok... keep em coming.

anyone ever use an NEC fe1250+?

I've got a few of the FE1250+ in my office at work. They're nice. No frills (no usb, no bnc connector), but great screen quality.

anyone ever use the ViewSonic MP monitors, like the VX2000MP, or hte VX900MP?

Wow... I would never spend more than $300 for a monitor. $700 is half a car...

Have you thought about a used 21" monitor? I got a 21" ViewSonic P810 (.26mm, 1600x1200@76 Hertz) for $400 Canadian ($261 U.S.) and the monitor is absolutely in mint condition. PM me if you're interested in one.

Sony Personal Entertainment Display.
17" widescren LCD, hooks up to your PS2, XBox or GC, as well as your computer at 1280x768 or 1024x768 resolution. It is the brightest monitor I have ever seen, and it is very versatile - also it is an HDTV monitor if you have any use for that. I have one and I would not use anything else, period. Runs $1k retail, I got mine for about $750 new on eBay.

I have an HP P1110 21" flat screen and absolutley love it.

So which one did you finally decide on as I am in the market for one.

omg that is such a nice moniter. I'm thinking about getting one myself but I'd like to see it first. How do games look on it in progressive scan? Have you tried that? I bet halo in progressive scan + widescreen would look pretty sweet for LCD moniter
