HP w19B anyone?

[Zechirian]

Heya all.. Thinking about trading in my LG L204WT for the HP w19B.. it seems the HP has a better color and didn't notice any ghosting while playing around with it at the store. I'm at a loss.. this is my 2nd LG and can't figure out its problem.. Unless someone has another recommendation in the 200-300$ range?

I went into a local CC store where there were many monitors on display with static pictures, bad choice to really rate monitors. The best of the bunch were the new Samsung xx6 series because of their better contrast. However, there also was the HP w19b with its totally gorgeous colors and extremely crisp graphics and characters. I was totally flored. It's a glossy TN but beats all other monitors hands down. Now, I don't know how it is at gaming and movies. Gaming I am not very interested in, but all the more am I interested in movies, movie editing and graphics. I couldn't have enough of Vista's demo pictures. Flowers and landscapes are rendered superbly.

I didn't buy the monitor on the spot because of 2 main factors:

1. For my purpose it's too small.
2. It doesn't have HDCP.

Why HP can't produce anything similar in 22 and 24" formats beats me. Yeah, glossy panel and it can put off some people but many more would jump to have it.
