Dell UltraSharp 1905

How is this monitor. The Dell UltraSharp 1905 19" LCD Flat Panel Display.

I won it from that Dellf the Elf Sweepstakes and it's suppose to arrive between the 7th and the 11th. I'm wondering with a 20ms response time, will I see a lot of ghosting? Or is this a champ of a monitor? Or should I just use it as a 2ndary monitor?

You will see ghosting in fast games. It is 20ms but it seems to be a PVA Samsung monitor, which means that the response times goes up really fast when the color difference is small between frames.
I haven't tried mine in fast games yet but that's what i read.

The color and everything is great, but I do see some very minor ghosting on fast-paced darker games like Call of Duty, and in some dark scenes on dvds. I've only used crts up to this point, so maybe i'm just not used to the ghosting thing and someone coming from another lcd might not even see it.

I'm actually going to try to return mine and exchange up for a 2005fpw.

Yeah, now that I've used it for a bit and tested gaming, I saw the ghosting and it was kinda annoying, so I'm having it as my dual display 2ndary monitor. But hey, it was free, and it's nice and works perfectly so no complaints.
