Hello

I'm looking to buy a new LCD monitor for my desktop. I currently have a Dell 1700FPW, which I got ages ago and still uses analog... so I'm sure it's very outdated. :D

I now have a GeForce 6800 Ultra w/ the 2 DVI ports... so I'm ready to get a DVI LCD. I'd like at least 19".. 20" would be nice, if not too expensive... and I really like those glossy screens that reduce glare (my laptop has it, love it :D )

I'm willing to spend up to $500... but under $400 would be nice... can anyone suggest a really great gaming LCD monitor?? My old one is just so faded-out... ghosting is very bad... I know an LCD won't ever match up to a CRT, but I'd like to get as close as I can.

I've looked around and I just don't feel like I know enough about the response time / grey to grey... contrast ratios ?? ... I can build a system just fine, but I'm not all that into monitor stuff. Just looking for someone to point out some nice ones if they can.

Thanks :)

It sure the hell does increase glare, but only if I have a light on in the room, with lights off everything's peachy :D Is it suppost to be for glare reduction? Or is it an anti scratch thingy? :confused:
 
it's a different type of glare.... the glare on the glossy screen doesn't wash out your entire picture like it does on normal LCD screens.
