Finally moving to TFT - Spec me please :D

ok folks after years and years of crt gaming fun i've finally realised that i should invest in a good tft screen! so i'm going to need the assistance of you fine gentleman and women on the forums to help me decide which to buy.

here is my requirements :

-looking for a 19" (non-widescreen)
-has to be fast ideally 2ms as i play a lot of high fps games at a good level
-looks of the screen itself aren't of a large bother to me
-as little backlight bleed / pixel loss as possible

so far what i've looked at is the samsung 931-C which seems to have dissapeared and also the new LG fantasy series? can anyone advise me otherwise

I don't think theres any non-widescreen ones that are even near 2ms.

I've been known to be wrong though

The VX922 is non-widescreen and was the first 2 ms screen, if it's still available anywhere.

the 931-c i like the look of a lot, i did use a 19GX during my bootcamping time prior to a major event! and thought it was ok but not overly impressed, anyone got anything bad to say about the LG monitors or good to say? the R model has got some good reviews from what i've seen!
