I read somewhere that Viewsonic and Samsung both have zero dead pixel policies? I was just wondering if this was true. I was thinking of purchasing the Viewsonic VP191b or the Samsung 193p+ from Newegg, but I was worried about dead pixels. I could always just spend an extra 80 dollars by purchasing a 193p+ from Compusa to ensure that I won't have any dead pxiels, but I heard that the VP191b might edge it out, performance wise; I game a lot, mostly Counter-Strike Source and Warcraft III.

One last thought came to mind though. With the aid of coupons and luck, you can possibly bring down the Dell 2405FPW to around 750/800 dollars. Now I was just wondering if it is worth it to spend another extra 100 dollars for the Dell. I heard ghosting was very prevelant on the 2405FPW and the black levels weren't very good. I don't really care about the widescreen aspect, I just want the best overall monitor. Thanks for any replies.
 
The best overall monitor would be the samsung 193P+, best color reproduction, viewing angles, and contrast, deep blacks. The vp191b and the 193p+ are both very good monitors for gaming but colorwise the samsung is the best.
 
I agree. I have had my 193P+ for a couple of weeks now and the colors and speed for gaming are outstanding.
 
I am always afraid of buying lcd's online because of this. I bought my 193p+ from compusa because of this. This was when there was a $100 dollar rebate so it was cool.

I can confirm that the color reproduction on the Samsung is SPECTACULAR! I don't know how those guys do it but the colors are so great. Gaming-wise there is no ghosting at all with the 193p+. It is an elegant panel, well-built, most likely you won't have any dead pixels.
