Well, the time has come to replacemy aging 17" viewsonic.
I really wanna make this upgrade worth it and not settlefor another tiny 17" or 19" display. I've already had the chance to check out my neighbor's 21" Widescreen from Gateway and I loved it.
I was looking online just now for LCD monitors and I found the 2007FPW for $359 on Dell's website. THis is an awesome deal that I am ready to pull the trigger on, but I do have concerns.
1. 16ms response time. My computer is used mainly for fast paced FPS gaming so ghosting is a big issue with me. My old viewsonic was 16ms, but it didnt ghost much at all. Does this monitor perform well in games?
2. Will Dell let me return it for a full refund if I dont like it?
3. HAs the gradient banding issue been resolved? I saw something in another thread about a firmware release, but this new firmware was actually just disabling the Faroudja video processing?
THanks for any incite. I plan to buy a monitor today so if you have any other suggestions, feel free to lay it on me.
My budget is probably $450 max
