I'm currently enjoying the Dell 24" widescreen (2407). I really can't find a fault with that screen, especially when the price came down to around £500.
They've also got a new 2707 - 27" on special offer for £780 at the moment if you have the budget!

All 3 of the monitors that I suggested are just as fast as the viewsonic in the 2ms response time only they offer a much higher contrast ratio than 650 to 1. The samsungs are 2000:1 and the LG is 3000:1. Thus making the picture better on those. I have seen all of them in person and just because of the price I chose the samsung 19" widescreen based on widescreen, speed, and picture quality. The other Samsung monitor is the official monitor of WCG I believe, so that would make it a good candidate for a good gamming monitor. The widescreen version I pointed out as my choice is the same monitor in widescreen form!

I am running a 32" LCD HDTV at 1366x768 resolution all the time, it is the native resolution of the screen and yes though it is a bit small in comparison to the 1600x1200+ LCD's you can get, by forcing yourself to stick to a "low" resolution your video card set to vsync can render the entire frame quicker which means you can crank the eye candy.
I play, Doom3 (orig and expansion), BF2142, HL2, and FEAR on this thing and it looks like a movie.
Video card = x800pro agp, now just imagine how much more eye candy your shiny new pci-e can can make it show.
The TV is a Visco VSC-32V1, you can get it from Walmart.com
Both have the same native resolution since they both have the same driver board, the screen is just different
I have had my 32" for a few months now and cannot complain at all, also its very convenient to be ored writing a paper and flipping on the PIP to watch the tv with the computer taking up the majority of the screen
http://www.amazon.com/Asus-PG191-L [...] B000JLXF84 That monitor looks so badass, 2ms response time with a 2.1 sound system and a 1.3mega pixel web cam included. they are also making a 21" version if you are willing to wait.

I was really looking to go the route of a 32+ inch LCD HD. Is it worth it? I mean you dont have any problems with resolution for the PC and telling the difference between watching HD cable tv?
