Does anyone have any experience with the 15" Planar FWT1503Z? I have conflicting brightness/contrast numbers - Dell lists it as 250 brightness and 350 contrast, but Planar lists it as 300 brightness and 500 contrast. Ignoring the discrepancy because either one will make me happy (granted, I'm in danger of being permanently blinded if the latter figures are correct), is the monitor any good considering the price I'm paying is $300? I'll really only be using it for watching movies and playing games. Before anyone says it, yes, I know that a CRT would be better if that's all I want it for; but I'm not a perfectionist when it comes to what I see outputed on the monitor and a LCD is better for my eyes. So really all I want to know is how bad is the ghosting what-not? The response time is 15/10 rise/fall (so says Planar). Oh, and I don't play Quake (because I suck at it, not because I don't think it's a cool game).
