Beginning of 2005 I bought a Dell 2005FPW... I loved and hated the widescreen aspect of it. Great if the game supported it. Bad if it did not. The colors were great. The response time was fine. Noticed just a little bit of ghosting, but not much. Had to look for it really to notice it. The backlight bleeding was bad. Dell even sent me a second one hopefully to solve the problem (I believe i had the A1? revision. So i returned the Dell 2005FPW (backlight bleeding this bad = defective imo)
Then I bought a Viewsonic VP912B. I loaded it up and the colors were not that great. Not very vibrant ETC. But not bad enough to warrant a return though. Very little backlight bleeding to (tad on the top middle) and the black level wasnt that black. I noticed no ghosting on this monitor. Response time must of been very fast (Advertised 12MS Typ).
I still was not satisfied. I wanted the colors of the Dell 2005FPW, the response time of the VP912B. I did not want ANY backlight bleeding (very annoying to me).
So I got myself a Samsung 970P. Very Expensive for what it is. BUT this time, you get what you pay for. No backlight bleeding (no dead pixels either), very dark blacks, and the colors. ohh the colors. I just keep stairing at this screen and thats about all i can do.. SO purty.. Also the ghosting is probably some were inbetween the 2005FPW and the Viewsonic. Not noticable unless I really look for it..
If you want the best of the best 19" LCD I dont see how anything can be better than the Samsung 970P... atleast atm
