Looking to buy a new LCD, want to spend no more than 350 CDN so roughly 300 US. I'm a mild gamer... What do you guys recommend? Widescreen is a must.

Thanks

You can get a 2005FPW for about $225-$250 on ebay. 20" S-IPS widescreen. Good deal. Ask if it has a backlight bleeding problem first.
 
Actually I would get the 2007WFP instead of the 2005....especially if you plan on gaming. They are both spec'd at 16ms but the 2005 is the only one thats really that slow.;)

Enjoy the panel lottery with the 07 model. He said he's only mild gamer so I'd assume that he'd appreciate the traits of an S-IPS panel during the bulk of his use. The 05 panel is fast enough as long as you're not OMG TWITCH HARDCORE UT2k4 CS Q3A.
 
question.... whats the difference between the

2007WFP & E207WFP?

Looking at the comparison im guessing you can use the 2007 as a tv monitor as well? Minus it having a tv tuner?
 
LG L204WT is one of the best budget monitors. I've had this one since December, and I've been impressed with it. It had one stuck pixel, I rubbed around it a little, and disappeared and never appeared again. :) *knock on wood*

I also use Eizo ColorEdge CG211 at school, and to be quite honest, the difference isn't night and day. This LG puts quite a good fight as far as general usage goes. The only downside is a little banding issues which you will notice sometimes, but not always and of course bad viewing angles.

As far as gaming goes, there's no blur, no ghosting, no lagging, etc... It runs smooth as butter.

Between 2007WFP & E207WFP, 2007WFP is P-MVA (or S-PVA lol) whereas the E207 is a TN panel. But if you're going to go with a TN panel, LG L204WT is probably one of the best.
 
Ok, first of all...if you read the "lottery" thread it looks like it is over and everyone is getting S-IPS now with the A03 revision. (I have an A02 S-IPS) Secondly....the differences between the 2007WFP and the E207WFP are like night and day if you ask me...S-IPS vs TN (not P-MVA or S-PVA like stated above) panels ia the biggest thing and then you have fully adjustable stand vs one that simply tilts a bit...not to mention the extra inputs available on the 2007.
 
what is the difference between those two (S-IPS vs TN )? And the one has a 16ms response time, isn't that bad?
 
to change things up I vote for the VX2025, since I have one I am biased but I love it.

Yes, the VX2025 is a nice widescreen model, though it has a few small flaws in the design department (as pointed out in this review:)

The biggest flaw is that it is now discontinued and replaced by a model which uses a TN panel. I still see some available for sale, but keep in mind if you have issues that involve an rma you will most likely get the newer TN panel model in return..
 
I would suggest the samsung 206BW. It has awesome grey scale reproduction. has a 2ms reponse and a 3000:1 contrast. It also supports HDCP. From what I've seen of this monitor it's a good piece. It is my planned upgrade for my new system.
