I recently got a Samsung SyncMaster 191T 19" LCD monitor. It looks beautiful in Windows, but it has these problems for me:
-Text changes color (usually dark shade) when scrolling in windows or in games
-Things get blurred when moving (especially in games)
-Possibly ghosting (still not sure what it is) when things move
-Seems to make games choppy (especially Quake III)

I really love the sharpness that LCD monitors have, and I love their sleakness. Is there any 19" LCD that is highly recommended for games? This one has a 25ms response time but I still see it as far inferior to my CRT in gaming. I've been up for nearly 6 hours looking through monitor reviews (so many mixed opinions - some say that this monitor is amazing with games) and looking for help... Are my expectations for LCD monitors way too high or am I the owner of a not-so-good for games LCD (I can return it still)? I would be really appreciative of any suggestions or help. Thanks a lot if you respond! :)
