I read that, and I was quite surprised to find that most of the lcd's had:

"Cons:
- Motion blurring and ghosting noticeable in gaming"

Are these TN panels so superior as this guy says? He notes that the two most popular lcd's, the HP L2335 and the Dell 2405FPW has "Motion blurring and ghosting noticeable in gaming". Thats not what I've read about them .. I'm confused, and a bit sceptical, as I've just ordered the Apple 23" with the same panel as the 2405?!

:confused:
 
You basically have two panel types to choose from, the TN and the MVA. Generally speaking, the TN's are 6-bit, and the MVA's are 8-bit. As such, the TN's are able to achieve much faster response times, because it "cheats" on it's colors. On the other hand, MVA's have much more accurate color representation, as well as better viewing angles.

So up until this point, TN's have been better suited for gaming. Especially considering that with games, it's not as necessary to have 8-bit colors. All the while, the low response times eliminate ghosting.

Those Dells use an MVA panel. I believe they may even use Samsungs VA panel (PVA). So they look beautiful, but yes, I hear they do ghost a lot. Of course, "ghosting" is very subjective, and some people are more aware of it than others.

I wouldn't really consider the 23" Apple to be a gaming monitor, so I hope you didn't order it primarily for that.

In the last few months there's been a new technology released called "overdrive", which greatly speeds up the response times of VA panels. As of now, I think only Viewsonic and Samsung have these on the market. In my opinion, these panels are the way to go. You basically get the best of both worlds. That Viewsonic 930b everyone is talking about, that is an overdrive VA panel.

After doing a few days of online research, that's the way I see things. I'm not a tech guru, so anyone is welcome to correct me.

The newest revision of the Dell 1905FP comes with an "overdriven" MVA panel from AUO. Rated at 8ms... I'm really interested in it.
