If anything, the static picture quality should be better on the 20 ms panel due to it not using overdrive. The 8 ms panel is obviously quicker though, and much more suitable for games and movies. Try playing some games and see if you can see any ghosting.
You keep using the term 'picture quality'. The difference between the 8 ms and 20 ms screens is in response time, not picture quality. If it's ghosting cause it's too slow then say it's ghosting, or people won't understand what you mean.
well there's no guarantee that you'd even get the 8ms edition, it really does seem hit and miss with these still. Try some games, see what you think, the 20ms should be fine for some games, but probably won't handle any FPS well. The 20ms does offer some excellent performance in other areas though, arguably one of the best "non gamers" panels around (20ms PVA from Samsung)
I think you should give CS:S or BF2 a go and see what they're like, and maybe try a movie with some fast action sequences. If after that you decide you're not happy with how the screen is performing, you can look into going down the distance selling regulations route. There is a time limit on that, you have to let them (the retailer) know within 7 working days from when you received the monitor.
There is some other conditions, you have to pay to have the monitor returned, you don't get your original postage back, and it has to be in 'resaleable' condition, so it needs to go back with full packaging intact. They won't do an exchange either, just a refund. It's also best not to mention the whole 8/20 ms thing, just say you're not happy with it, afterall it's advertised at OcUK as 20 ms. You don't need a reason though.
If you needed the 8 ms version, it would have been wiser not to get the 1905FP, since there's always the risk with it of getting the 20 ms version.
I'd advise reading up on the distance selling regulations btw.

have you thought about a WS model perhaps? If you're a DVD watcher, some models like the Belinea 102035W might be worth a look. The P-MVA panel used offers wide viewing angles, smooth movie playback and thanks to overdrive, a good response time suitable for fast scenes and for gaming. The price is good which is why i mentioned this model in particular. Worth a look i think.
well it's massive for a start. There is some noise in movie playback but mostly because of the massive resolution. From a couple of metres you'd have no issue though, i use mine all the time for movies from a couple of metres away and it is excellent.

i recently got a 1905fp and it's quite obvious the stand has been used but it seems to work ok, also no power cable supplied. what's the score with that? where are the monitors shipped from. have i got one that someone didn't like and returned it, or have they maybe even sent a refurbished one (it's meant to be brand new)
good thing is no dead pixels that i can see
