Help - Confused about which monitor to buy! 19" LCD

[JJSuperman]

I am in the market for a new 19" LCD for a computer I am building for my wife. She surfs the internet and plays World of Warcraft. Her video card supports both analog and DVI.

I want he best looking image quality for her in the $300-$350 price range. Fast response is nice but she prefers good color to 8ms response times.

I was thinking about the Samsung SyncMaster 915N for $345 from newegg.

I would LOVE the Dell 1905FP but can't really swing it financially as it is around $500 bucks right now.

As I have little experience with LCDs (I am a CRT guy) I could really use some advice and please point me in the right direction if you have a line on an especially good deal.

This may be a bit out of your range, but after getting the Dell 2005FPW and being unhappy with the smearing/ghosting, I just ordered one of these:

According to Tom's Hardware, this is a true 8-bit panel that has SUB-15ms response times across the whole spectrum by using new tech that overdrives the pixel to a more extreme color so it transitions to the desired color faster.

If you really want the 1905fp, you should be able to find it easily for ~$300 nowadays.

Hell, you can get a 2005FPW for under $400 now!

I'm not sure how well the 1905 will fare on WoW, though, but it should do okay.

On the other hand, WoW has native widescreen support ... would look more than gorgeous on the 2005FPW!
