As much as this looked like a good deal, I purchased a Dell 1800FP last night. Came out to $475 shipped to California Yay. Isn't the 1800FP arguably superior? (I'm really not thread crapping here... honest.)

The 1800FP has a 30ms response time. The Planar's is 16ms. I don't know how much of a difference 30ms and 16ms makes in terms of gaming. I'm actually looking at a 1800FP right now, and it looks pretty darn good to me. And I got it for $426.xx shipped a couple of weeks ago so I can't complain! Anyhow, I wouldn't say the 1800FP is superior than the Planar... it is certainly larger and comes with Dell's wonderful warranty though.

1800FP
9700 Pro
2400XP on Asus A7V8X
512 XMS 3200
Personally - just picked up the PL150 for 240 (20 off 200, plus 10%) shipped from this dell deal...it was the better deal...
Wait for the 1800FP deal again - I know I am going to get another one when the price drops

I have ran CS, Battlefield 1942, and other games and there are noticeable ghosting.
Again, I am a hardcore gamer, so I play aggressively, meaning I move the screen quickly.
I am not alone, as my friends have noticed the same thing on their 1800FPs.
BTW, 1800FP has 30ms I believe instead of 25ms like others. I remember seeing this on dell specification comparison among theor LCDs.

Well - No one is more aggressive than me...That is I "move fast" - I am a translocate-a-holic-circle-strafe machine...I put the LCD through its paces at a LAN party last saturday and everyone was impressed...I had 2 guys behind me the whole time - None of us saw any ghosting...and I have the gaming rig from hell...
My best friend has a similar configured machine with matching LCD - neither of have ghosting problems...Even with some of the older games, quake, quake 2...
If there was a ghost it was casper and he wasnt in my box...
