So I've bought 3 LCDs over the past 3 years, returned them all. Apparently I am very sensitive to ghosting and I play fast paced FPS all the time, I haven't been able to find one I like. It's been 10 months since my last purchase/return and I could really use some advice.

What is the best 19" LCD for FPS gaming, the one with the least noticable ghosting?
If there are any, is there a 20" or 21" as well?
I've heard about the Viewsonic® VP930b, and a Samsung 19" 940BF, being pretty good. I've seen the new Dell's, they make me feel like I'm on acid (and im not :p).

Thanks in advance.
 
None.
if you're sensitive to ghosting, then you'll have to stick with crts until seds come out.
i've used dell and viewsonics latest models and I can easily notice ghosting.
 
Thanks. Looks like I'm waiting for SEDs. I just hope my fleet of 19" monitors last until the SED displays come out!
 
When I bought my first LCD (sig) I was so nauseated from the ghosting but its something I got used to over time. It took about two weeks but now I rarely notice the slight blur that may result from moving images. The VX922 seems like a sweet choice their man, good luck with it.
 
I use a Dell 2005FPW and I've never seen a ghosting effect on anything. Right now I'm playing Elder Scrolls IV at 1680x1050 and to me it looks perfect. Beautiful colors, smooth graphics, I couldn't be happier. Sure, my monitor has the same bleeding in the corners like everyone else's, although you can only see it if the screen is black. I'm amazed how people are so critical of that, it's such a minor detail unless you sit in a dark room and stare at a black background all the time.

Are you sure the ghosting you see is not a tearing effect caused by not using Vsync when playing fast moving games? Tearing is caused by the framerate of the game being higher than the monitors refresh rate (in case anyone was wondering). Since these LCD monitors basically have a fixed refresh rate of 60hz, you would never want your games framerate to go above that.

I did notice alot of tearing when I played Doom 3 with Vsync turned off and it is very annoying. I haven't tried it with Elder Scrolls yet, although I doubt my video card could hit 60fps anyways.

It's too bad you can't be happy with an LCD monitor. I could never go back to a CRT.
Peace.

you wont find one. stick to crt for the time being.
 
I've tried ViewSoninc 940B and acer F-20 and I felt some ghosting, but with VX2520MW I don't feel any difference between it and CRT. I'm playing FPS only.
