Recommend LCD Monitor
I have been reading the reviews of the new "Hitachi" lcds monitors. They seem to have something no one else has and that the fastest response rate. Also have good color , brightness etc . A response rate of 16ns. Thats very fast and excellent for gaming. They also have DVI and analog connectors. Another interesting thing I noticed about LCDs in general, the ones that they call ultra sharp seem to all have lower response rates. Maybe that related to clarity and sharpness somehow.
I'm a little reluctant to buy the Dell Monitors. I would welcome any suggestions about any monitors to look for. Thanks

An 18". I just read 26 pages of problems with Dell flats and frankly I think I should wait . Is this problem only with Dells or other brands as well?

Thanks Talmy,
You seem to be quite a guy. I'm impressed. I appreciate the feed back on the LCD's . I think I'm going to take the " Leap ". I'm retired and on the computer for at least 6-8 hours a day and my eyes are not to good and I've been suffering with eye strain from the CRT. It seems to me that the LCD picture is easier on the eyes. I'm really not a gamer but who knows in the future. Do you think the LCD's that you recommend are fast enough for some gaming without shadows etc.

Thanks Ortleeb,
I'm going for the 1901FP. They have a good deal at $611.00. That includes a 10% discount and free shipping. I think it will be fine for me. Big compared to the 17" crt I presently have. My playing of games is rare. My generation is not hand eye coordinated like you young people. I see that all the time with my grandchildren. My son is always having some problems with his games and is always tweaking something or another. But he has the patience and dedication.
Thank you for your help. You made my mind up.
And again thanks for everyones advice. I think Dell's community is great.

I have read that LCD Monitors require high resolution,thereby creating more "real estate" and consequently smaller fonts. As I am also retired and do not have the best vision, I wonder if an LCD Monitor is the best choice?
Can ayone comment?

The 1901FP that dedicated is getting has a native (default) resolution of 1280X1024 pixels. Even with the finer, higher native resolution of 1600X1200 pixels that the some LCD's have (like the 2001FP and some of the higher-end notebook monitors), the image quality is excellent and the text is clear and very readable. If you have a BestBuy or CompUSA near you, you can view LCD monitors of almost every native resolution and quality and you can judge for yourself.

i have the viewsonic vp171b , really like it. its not cheap, but quality cost.
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=24-116-276&catalog=20&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=0
dell sells this monitor too
viewsonic also has the new vp201-its 20.1 inch, 16ms speed, but very expensive-$1159.
planar has some 16ms monitors are suppose to be great, but costs a lot.
