Which LCD should I purchase?

[D1gger]

I have the $ in the bank, and I am ready to take the plunge and order a new LCD for my gaming rig. I like the specs of the Viewsonic VP201(s) but would like to hear from someone who has used it.

The remainder of my PC components are:

ASUS A8V-Deluxe
AMD64 FX-53
1GB Corsair XMS PC4000
BFG 6800U-OC
2 x WD Raptor 74 GB (Raid 0)
1 x Seagate 160 GB Sata
...

Any Suggestions?

Thanks, I originally thought about the Dell as well, but I did read one review that said it had a lot of ghosting when used for gaming.

D1gger from what I recall the Viewsonic uses the same exact panel as the Dell, it's made by LG.

1. Samsung 213T
2. Samsung 213T
3. Samsung 213T



I've been using 213T almost a year now and couldn't be happier with it. Thinking of selling it though only to get a brand new 243T. Those things are... ummm.... yummy.

I did wonder about that. I figured Dell didn't make the LCD and the specs for the two seemed suspiciously similar. The price here in Canada is also almost identical.

lol. Yes, a 243T would be nice, but when I said I had the money in the bank, I didn't mean I owned the bank. spending over $4,000 on a display is definitely grounds for immediate divorce.

I love mine too, had it for about 4days, only problem is that it has a stuck green pixel DEAD center of the screen, replacement is on the way.

So you recommend the 19" LCD with the faster response time (12ms) over the larger display with the slightly slower response time (16ms)?
