Is this "the" 24" panel to get for general use and gaming? It would seem that most posts are positive but just would like to hear from people after having used it for a while if they would buy it again.

I just went from a Pf95 View sonic to the BenQ, and was very worried about the ghosting. But so far the ghosting is so minimal it does not bug me at all (It's really not noticeable unless you are looking for it) . And the Contrast's (another thing that scared me) is good. When the screen goes totally black you can see your desk. But with even minimal stuff on the screen the blacks look true black.
I can not see any area of the screen thats brighter then another. And the veiwing angles are very nice. And their is no input lag.
There is a noticeable deference between looking at the side and dead on. the color's look slightly dimmer and about the same. and thats looking to the side where you almost cannot see it. ( It almost certainly will not bug you). Personally i consider this a strong point.
The bottom of the screen is 3 inches from the desk and will not go any lower. The stand is really stable. The controls on the side are kinda cumbersome but no big deal, Something that interested me (probably most wont care about ) is you can change the size of the pip's.
The games i have played on it are Fear, Americas army, UT2004, RTW, NFSMW, and have not noticed any input lag . And i have watched a few movies. 480 movie content is probably the weakest point of this monitor, as the monitor is very sharp and will highlight any fuzz in the movies.
If you are going to hook a dvd player up make sure you wait for the 1:1 pixel mapping. I have only used the DVI and Composite input (Dreamcast). Otherwise I highly recommend this monitor
