LCD or not LCD...that is the question!

Hi, I'm not having a problem (yet), but I need some advice from someone who knows more about monitors than I do. I currently have a 17" Dell E771P CRT monitor that came with the computer I had before the one I have now. I've been kicking around the idea of upgrading to a LCD monitor and I was all gungho to buy one until I read some postings elsewhere that indicated that LCD monitors aren't very good for games. If I remember correctly the article said if the image is moving too fast it will blur and create a "ghost" image. Does anyone know if this is true? I'm not a huge gamer, but I do love my Wolfenstein and FIFA 2003 every couple of days. Does the response time of the LCD monitor make a difference in that area? The monitor I'm leaning toward right now is the 17" BenQ FP767 ($370 @ tigerdirect) which has a 16ms response time which is supposed to be pretty fast from what I read. Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to throw away a few hundred dollars if I don't have to. Thanks again!
