Replacing my Ultrasharp 2001FP

[HDPC]

After 3 years and 6 days (6 days after the warranty expired) my Dell Ultrasharp 2001FP went kaput. It was a great monitor and I'm not sure what to get now. I was thinking of the Ultrasharp 2007WFP or maybe a samsung 206BW. I know the Dell uses a non-TN panel vs. the Samsung, but will a newer TN panel outperform the older S-IPS panel of the 2001FP I had?

I generally use my system for surfing, gaming (BF1942, 2142), and will watch some HD content.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe. But, you will suffer color shifting due to the limited viewing angle on the TN panels. However, the newer TN panel have very low response times to where it's hardly noticeable to see any ghosting. If viewing angles is not much a concern to you then you should be good.
