BenQ FP241VW or equivalent

I've been reading about BFI and the way it reduced ghosting for the eyes. Is this the only monitor that does this? Or are there other ones.
Also, does anyone have one of these monitors? Is the ghosting truly reduced?
I just got the LG L246, and while the size and color is nice, the ghosting isn't an improvement over my last monitor.

I have this monitor -- just about ZERO ghosting. I've had to look really, really, really hard and even then it just might be my eyes playing tricks on me.

So yeah, "zero" ghosting. Great for games.

At the moment I think this and the FP241WZ are the only ones with BFI. However, I hardly notice any ghosting without it off anyway. But turning it on creates a low refresh rate CRT like flicker which I think is far more annoying than ghosting.

Reviews say that the LG246 has a similar amount of ghosting to the BenQ monitors. So if it is too much you'll have to go with a TN LCD or a CRT!

I just ordered a Benq FP241VW yesterday, after looking at all the models available, i leaned towards this one from the great reviews it got, no lcd monitor is perfect but this one had the least faults i could find, not cheap but you get what you pay for. anyway i believe i will like it and will post a follow up in once it comes in a few days.. going from 19" viewsonic and samsung so will notice a nice size difference and the high rez on the Benq i will run on an 8800gts. gl looking around.

Not solved and will never be solved for North American consumers.

I just picked up a FP241WZ at NCIX.com couple days ago on its regular weekly sale: CDN$609 + CDN$30 for 30 days zero dead pixel warranty. That is probably the lowest ever. FP241VW is on sale for CDN$649 + CDN$32.5 zero dead pixel warranty. Both are cheaper than FP241W this week until Tuesday night.

Unlike FP241W and FP241VW, it seems like NCIX.com is not ordering new shipment for FP241WZ. I saw someone mentioned on Amazon.com that BenQ is not making FP241WZ anymore as the cost is too high. I bet the new 24" or 26" models will be using TN panels since Samsung is doing the same thing to cut the price down.
