Anyone know of a 20" monitor that is good for gaming?
The HP w2007 and LG L204WT are decent 20" gaming monitors. I steer clear of the Samsung 206BW because of the panel lottery.

Not sure if anyone else is following the fhd2400's.. but circuit city just dropped their price to 499, and newegg finally added it to their site for the original 550 - nice thing is free shipping and no tax, plus a free dvd player (combo deal). I'm just scared to get an lcd from newegg, seems like I'd have a better time if I had issues with it returning to a b&m store, but maybe I'm just being too paranoid. Dead pixels scare me, not sure about the other stores, but with compusa's 'protection' plan, if you have an accident like dog knocking it off the desk, you can take it back no questions asked for replacement for 2 years. Might see if I can get comp to pricematch cc.

So far rated 100% 5 star with 4 reviews.
Don't miss the LP2465 for $540 AR though:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...16824176059&Tpk=lp2465
Primary differences between these two:
- LP2465 uses 8-bit S-PVA matte panel, is better in dark tones
- FHD2400 offers multimedia inputs and glossy screen, is 6-bit and performs worse in darker scenes
- FHD2400 may have less input lag/ghosting, more suited towards gaming
- FHD2400 is wide gamut, LP2465 matches sRGB only
I always just order from Newegg and pray that same night. It has worked so far.
Usually if something terrible (or even not so terrible) happens you can deal with the OEM (e.g. Gateway) directly.
The Gateway sure is a great package, especially for gamers. If you don't game however, the LP2465 is probably a better choice for movies/general use, and especially photo editing.
Thanks a ton for this thread, based on the info here, this quoted post, and the reviews on extremetech and here - http://www.hardforum.com/showt...cd3c656b87f2&t=1231866
I'm sold, ordering this from newegg right now before they go out of stock too Will post my thoughts after I get it, if it ships from jersey, will prob. get it by friday. The egg rocks.
Oh, also the combo deals from newegg, one of them is a free 4gb kingston flash drive, bonus!
