I did a search already and read a ton of threads about these 2 monitors but I just can't decide. There are deals going on right now to get the 2005fpw for ~400 and the 1905fp for ~270, but they expire monday morning. I have read all the threads and it seems there are always some who hate both monitors. I also considered the L90D+ but have read horror stories about the 8+ dead pixel policy and how they are a pain to return, so I'm kinda leaning away from that option.
Basically I use my pc for normal web browsing, office work, and occasional movies. I play some games, however all the games I like to play are FPS which why I am so concerned with what monitor to buy. It seems someone has a complaint with all of them. Some say the 1905fp ghosts too bad, some say the 2005fpw has backlight issues. My vid card is a geforce 6800 GTO, and my current monitor is a viewsonic 17" aperture grill CRT, if it matters. I have never owned an LCD monitor before.
Another consideration is that if I buy the 1905fp, I would most likely have $ left over to buy a decent 5.1 system, which i figured would go along nicely with the new fps out there. Right now I only have a 2.1 system. On the other hand if I bought the 2005fpw I probably wouldn't be getting new speakers any time soon.
What do you guys think?
