Ok, I've decided I don't want to dish out the cash for 2 GTX's to play battliefield 2 on max settings on a 2405 so. I decided I would like to get the viewsonic vp201b, dell 2005, or the acer 2032WD. I am lieaning towards the vp201 and the Acer. What do you think.
 
I think it depends on whether or not you must have 1600x1200 or not. I prefer the 2005fpw simply for the 16:10 aspect ratio. More games are supporting it, and the "slightly lower" resolution is a compromise that I think is easily worth it. Of course upgrading to the big brother 2405fpw eliminates all those problems but you already said that's out. Of course then again the Acer uses the same panel as the Dell so I suppose you're interested in WS gaming to begin with.

Anyway, I think I'm rambling, so I'll say I enjoy my dual 2005fpws greatly, and I think that going with either the Acer or the Dell would probably be my two picks.
 
Ever thought of the Samsung 204T? Probably the most pristine 20.1" 4:3 display available. 16ms, and PVA with FULL viewing angles and the like.

Anyone know if the 204T is the upgraded version of the 213T?

they are charging a nice premium over the 2005fpw's (sale) prices. I wonder how much better is it.
 
Dell is known for 'almost works' LCD implementations, Samsung is known for 'always works.' Go count the number of bad backlighting threads and 'how many times I returned my XXXXFP in order to get an acceptable one.' Also, when it comes to mainstream LCD technology, Samsung's PVA technology is widely regarded as the best- maybe not the fastest response wise, but you have to give up being the best in everything else in order to achieve that.
 
dell's to cheap, how can it be so good and so cheap at the same time? fish. acer is my choice.
 
You need DUAL 7800s for BF2 on this thing? Dunno...6800GT is doing nicely enough, I'd hope the GTX I've got coming in the next week or two would do better, especially since it's supposed to beat the tar out of a pair of 6800U.

And if you don't want one of these monitors because they're cheap...your loss. :D

Ok, so everyone's choice is the acer. Good, because I was leaning towards that.
