OK so 1st off my options are limited due to credit account w/ Dell only..
So that said my options are either of the two Dell models: 1901FP and 2001FP
I Have searched the forums [now that search finally works for the 1st time ive tried in 6 years!] so I read and read about the ghosting issue and a basically am going to surf and do some non-critical photo editing.. as well as 2 hours max a week of FPS gaming [kids, work etc..] I have read that the 1800 is a good option but I really want the real estate that the larger models offer... I will be running a dual display rig w/ the 9800 AIW and a 7500 PCI both off of DVI connection... anyways my concern is w/ ghosting during games and DVD/TV and it seams that the 2001 gets less complaints about ghosting... but since ill be buying two of what I do buy I really don't want to buy 2G worth of display [wife = kill me] and I see more value in the 1901's but I need some feedback on what you guys think I should do... I will wait till they have a sale @ Dell then ill plunge...
So essentially does the 2001 have less ghosting? If so is that due to the lower contrast ratio? [400:1 compared to 600:1] Will either display be playable/watchable in your opinions?

Well having just rechecked the Dell site for specs before posting I see that they have put the 2001FP on sale @ $899 from $999 so something to think about.. Still Alot though...SIGH.....

Thanks -Aaron
 
I could be entirely wrong but i don't think i am... the reason for the 1901fp or whatever having more ghosting is because of it's response time. The 1901 has a 25ms respnose time whereas the 2001 has a 16ms response time. I just got a monitor from dell but went w/ a CRT. Space isn't an issue for me and I just couldn't see spending $900 for an lcd. If you've got it to spend tho... i'd go for the 2001 :)
