My 9 year old CRT is finally starting to die. It's whining it's way to death. I'm looking at 3 LCD's to replace it: the Lenovo ThinkVision L220x, the HP W2207, or the NEC 20WMGX2. I play games, and don't want to see any ghosting. Color reproduction and picture clarity are also very important to me. I'm leaning towards the Lenovo, because it was just released this year, it's not a TN panel so I know the picture and color will be superb, and it has both higher resolution and smaller dot pitch then the NEC. However, because it is new I'd like some feedback and a recommendation before I buy it. Here are it's specs:

Please leave any comments you may have about these 3 monitors. I'd like to buy one within the next week. Thanks in advance for all your help. It's really appreciated.

P.S. Why is the last decent Tom's Hardware Monitor review from June of 2006?
