hopefully someone can help me decide - ive been going round in circles for the last 2 weeks trying to make a decison!!

I want new TFT moniter - it has to be at least 19''.

First off it has to at least be 8ms so there is no visible ghosting in games (i could accept a little but ive read most 8ms have limited ghosting). I mostly play FPS like COD2, f.e.a.r, HL2. I don't think i want a TN panel as i want to my dvds to be of decent quality unless someone can convince me that i would be better getting a TN panel for games and the "noise" in dvds was acceptable.

i also cannot decide whether or not i want a widescreen monitor - i think i do but this must be at 20'' as i don't think i could accept a smaller vertical picture than what im used to so the vertical resolution would have to be 1050. I would probably have already decided on the Viewsonic VA2012W already had it not been so ugly! Does anyone know for sure when the viewsonic VX2022W is released as im tempted to wait because that screen looks so sweet... the only other widescreen moniter i can see would be the DELL Ultrasharp 2005FPW although i have read stories about backlight bleeding etc which puts me off and does anyone know whether this is good for gaming. the belnea 20.1'' also interests me but again is this good for gaming etc. It would be out of those three for widescreen or wait for the viewsonic

can anyone help me please decide as i went from widescreen to 19'' and back again and am no further forward in my decision. if i did get a 19'' it would prob be a samsung although then i might regret not getting a widescreen.

hope this all makes sense and someone can help me decide. thanks in advance for any suggestions.

cheers.
 
thanks for the very helpful responses guys it is much appreciated.

after reading through the belinea thread i think im just going to take the plunge. Seems to be a very good TFT and i think i would regret not going widescreen. Don't think i can wait any longer cos i've been thinking about one for a while - now just to pray for no dead pixels :D
