I'm having a hard time deciding between these 2 monitors. It will be used for high-end gaming (will be running a Core2Quad Q6600 cpu, EVGA 8800GTX 768mb video card and 2GB RAM).

LG L206WTY-BF Black 20" 2ms 3000:1 DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor

SAMSU NG 226BW Black 22" 2 ms (GTG) DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 700:1(DC 3000:1)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 001096&Tpk =226bw

What I'm looking for is the one with the clearest picture, best quality color and best for high FramesPerSecond performance.... pretty much the best one for intense gaming :)... whichever one can give me the closest to CRT-like gaming performance would be great! I know the Samsung is a risk because of the A/S/C panel crisis and everything and I have not heard really much at all about the LG. Anyone have any experience with either of these? Which would be the best choice for the best gaming experience?

Well, I ended up going with the LG monitor... I figured 2" less screen size with the same resolution and it will have a sharper image. I realize not many ppl on here own or know much about this monitor so I'll post a review once I get it.

So are you happy with your choice? I'm trying to decide between the two also!

Yeah, but which one do you actually have? It's no longer easy to identify if the panel used is A, C, or S.

I'd really like to see a review from someone who has used both and compared them side-by-side.

i had the L226WTQ-BF and it had the CMO panels in it so it looks like lg is using the aftermarket panels now too.
