I am looking at replacing my 19" Sony crt with a new 19" lcd ( tft?)
monitor.
Seems like I recall someone in here mentioning good things about this
monitor:

Would appreciate any advice.
Thanks,

Which ever one you finally decide to get, make sure it has a stable platform
and preferably not on the same table as your steering wheel ! The stands on
these LCD's are usually pretty flimsy so, if I were you, get a sturdy
extension arm thingy that attaches to the wall and then it won't be affected
by any crazy driving ;)
I nearly lost my new monitor after a brutal session of Nascar Legends the
other day. (don't ask, I just love those cars)

Don,
I've been very happy with my Dell 2001FP. It is fast enough for all the
games I play and there have been very good deals and coupons lately. See

There are also a bunch of review at Anand Tech:

No bad pixels, works great it games, bright as hell (get the NEC Brightness
Control doohicky so you can have it set for 3d and 2d and not have to fiddle
with it).
It's not a great off-center LCD, so it's not great for large audiences
watching movies.
You'll have to provide your own pivot software if you use that feature.
No complaints or issues here.

Now I just gotta convince myself to part with the money.

I agree this is a very good monitor if you're interested in a 20" and
1600x1200 native res. And at that native resolution, GTR, F1C and F4AF look
great.

At least the response rates are now coming down to acceptable (4 to 8 ms) if
you are willing to spend $$$, but I still don't get how to resolve the
resolution quandary.

If you buy a wide-screen or bigger monitor with a native res higher than
that you do have to take into consideration you comptuers abilitiy to push
that many pixels.
Mine can, so I'm good.
Ths is, however, why I haven't bought silent hunder 3. They locked the res
to 1024X768 (dumb-asses).

I've tried three games, all play fine in their set resolutions:
Top Spin Tennis (800x600)
UT2004 (1024x768)
GTR (1024x768)
My video card is a 128MB GF4 Ti4600; that's the next thing I'll be
upgrading.

Following the logical scale upwards from 640X480, 800X600, 1024X768 1280X960
NOT 1280X1024. Why not just pick any other arbitrary resolution that kinda
fits?
I understand why developers dont support non standard resolutions.
