Hi All,
I am in search of a new LCD monitor. Initially I was targeting the new VP930B (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824116365). But I've seen no reviews from the usual sites (Tom's Hardware , Anandtech etc.) . This is freakin' me out I need the warm comfort of a review or reviews to tell me that its OK to part with my money for this product.
Note: I am currently using a Envision 7410 17" LCD (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824197006 ) and before that I had a viewsonice vp171b-2 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824116347) and I noticed no Ghosting with either of these two monitors.
Enter the Dell 2005FPW , goes for a little less on Dell's site than the Viewsonic and is widescreen ... Yayyyy !!
My questions are :
1) Is the Dell good for gaming ? I paly a lot of FPS games (far cry , halo , HL2 etc. ) and RPGs (Morrowind) and I'm worried about ghosting . Any comments from anyone ?
2) I expect to drive this monitor with a Geforce 6600GT (PCI-E) , can it handle this monitor at its widescreen resolution for gaming ?
3) I seen compalints of flaws in the Dell (Dead pixels , backlighting issues) in this forum. This is also scary , As I'd hate to have to do returns (I live in Jamaica) . As you can imagine that would be a real hassle. Any views/comments on this matter ?
Long and short is : Which do I go with given my concerns the VP930B or The Dell 2005FPW ?
Any advice/comments or tips are most welcome.
Best Regards,
Caspanis
