So I'm looking for 20-inch widescreen monitor with HDCP and these three look really good. I want to spend no more than $600 and all of these are in that price range. Which one do you guys recommend?

I know I have read many issues about the 2007fpw, but will it really be a big deal? I like the look of it and the HP monitor. The gateway seems good though.

What are your thoughts on each of these monitors. And don't take into account the fact that I can purchase the gateway or HP monitor at circuit city/best buy, meaning i wouldn't have to worry about shipping.

I suppose I should say that I'm building a core duo deskop machine and will do some gaming, a lot of video stuff, but nothing out of the normal. i figure widescreen is the best way to go as i want to get hd-dvd/blu-ray when they become cheap
 
Do you really...well, none of those monitors supports a decent 1080 resolution as you're lacking vertical height, so why bother...get a 2407 when the better revisions come out. This way the movie won't have to downscale to that 1680x1050 resolution..
 
I've owned both the Dell 2007 and Gateway and returned them both for various design flaws.

I've seen the HP F2105 in the store would probably buy that one if it weren't so expensive. However, I do recall reading some people complaining about input lag on the HP, you might want to check into it.
