Specify a budget, and also what graphics card do you have in the machine you're using, and are you willing to upgrade it if necessary to drive a bigger screen?
The NEC 20WGX2 would be well worth a look, arguably one of the fastest panels in the market, a very good gaming choice

i use my monitor for mainly gaming and multi tasking
i just ordered the samsung SM226 as its highly recomended for gaming and movies and basicaly everything!
not sure on the NEC though, how do these 2 compare to each other?
I cant wait for mine to arrive now
2 reasons why over the NEC
1) size its only a 20", samsung is a 22"
2) Price , on ocuk its £280, about £100 less and it supprots DVI with HDCP

Samsung SM226Bw is also a good choice, a very responsive screen in both practice and response time tests. The NEC is AS-IPS based, so it's technology does have some advantages over the TN Film panel of the Samsung in other areas.

great monitor. yet to find a problem with it, i even like the opticlear coat, and the added colour depth you get.... it even looks good turned off!
22" ws uses the same res anyway, so it's just stretched......
