I bought one of these monitors today from another retailer to replace a Viewsonic 8ms VX912. It says on the box that the response time is 16ms however the retailer assured me that it was 8ms. The code on the box is 200W6CS/05. Upon removing it from the box I noticed how much heavier it is compared to the Viewsonic and the build quality appears to be much better. It just feels more substantial and solid. The stand is pre-fitted but has to be 'clicked' out of it's shipping position which requires a lot of force. After this it is quite easy to adjust up, down and tilt. It came with a DVI cable but I just used my existing one which was already connected to the PC. Switched it on, nice clear, bright and vibrant display. I haven't noticed any dead pixels so far. Windows XP recognised it as a Plug and Play monitor and listed one of it's display resolutions as 1600 x 1200. Once I installed the drivers which came with it, the maximum resolution is 1680 x 1050. I wasn't sure about upgrading because I didn't think that there would be much difference in screen size between 19" 4:3 and 20" widescreen but it does appear, to my eyes anyway, to be much bigger. I have played lots of games over the last few hours and haven't noticed any ghosting whatsoever. These games include LOMAC at 1680 x 1050, BF2 at 1280 x 1024, FEAR at 1280 x 960 and FS9 at 1680 x 1050. The monitor is connected to a X1900 XT-X and the image quality in all these games is very good, definately a step up from the VX912. I have no way to measure the response time but it is easily on par with the VX912 as previous to this I had a Sony 17" 16ms were I could definately detect ghosting. My only gripe so far is that more games should support widescreen format although at lower resolutions, the games stretch to fill the screen and any text etc is very clear and easy to read, ie it's not blurry. I haven't watched any DVD's yet but I turned the lights down and set the desktop to black. I noticed a very slight bleedthrough of light from the backlight in the corners of the display but nothing too serious, for me anyway. Overall I'm really happy with this monitor and I think that it was definately worth the upgrade from the 19" VX912 although I still rate the VX912 as a very good monitor. Hope this helps anyone on the brink of opening their wallet.
Fancy opening the screen up at the back?
