OK so heres the deal, for the past three or so days i have been non-stop researchgin LCD's in the 20"+ widescreen range.

What I do:

Game: i play DoD DoD:s Cs Cs:s HL BF2 and GW ALOT
Graphics: I do a decent amout of graphic design for local organizations and what not, using photoshop.

What im lokoing at:

LG 20.1" L204WT
Viewsonic 20.1" VX2025WM
Viewsonic 22" VX2235WM
Acer 20.1" AL2051W


im leaning toward the 2025 but i dont think ill like the AG coating on it, it also has som problems with BB . The LG isnt a truw 8-bit panel meaning no good for graphics, right? then there is the acer and 2235 , the acer i think i will like but the aesthetics are horrid, and i have read alot about the 2235 but cant seem to find the cons of it(not true 8bit?)

well point me in the right direction, always recomend somehting if u feel need it be, but im trying to stay below the $400 area shipped/ with tax

BTW im using a evga 7900gt soon to be water cooled and oced
 
If you've been doing research then you should know that 2 of those are TN panels (LG, 22" viewsonic) and the others (Acer Al2051W, Viewsonic VX2025W) are P-MVA and the strengths and drawbacks of each technology. You should base your decision on what's important to you...each of those panels has fans that sing their praises and haters also.
