20in LCD Required for gaming (1600x1200 native)

dan^uk · 21 Jan 2006 at 11:17

I'm trying to find an LCD monitor that meets these requirements without much luck:

1) Suitable for gaming.
2) Has 1600x1200 native res (no wide screen).
3) 20-21 inch.

The ViewSonic VP2030B appears to be the best match, but I can't find a decent review of it anywhere.

Any suggestions?

what about the DELL Ultrasharp 2001FP? Not seen one myself but I think they're pretty good - look in the sticky.

16ms response time and outdated (over 2 years old).

Meh, ive got a Dell 2405fpw from a 19" flat screen CRT and i dont seen anything wrong with a 16ms responce time playing FPS such as CSS, BF2 and COD2 or such games as WoW.

And i thought i was fussy.

Meh, each to their own.

I've seen the 2001FP up close (running F.E.A.R.) and I could see ghosting, therefore I'm not going to waste £400 on it. The Dell 2405 has a totally different panel to the 2001FP, so while you maybe able to get away with 16ms on the former, you can't on the latter.

Oh and I didn't ask for a critique on my requirements, I asked for further LCD suggestions.

How about the Viewsonic VP2030 ? Uses the new larger Optronic P-MVA panel. 1600x1200 20.1". Its brand new too.
