Sorry I don't have the issue. I just sneaked a peak at one while
working.(one of the perks of being a mailman) Actually a Dell was one of
the two or 3 they did approve of.

(Sorry if it or something similar has already been posted)
I was ready to get a new Sony 19" LCD before I read this. I have a
GDM-F400 and am now in no rush to go to an LCD. The Sony I was looking
at has a response time of 25ms (15ms rise and 10ms decay).

The 2001FP has a 16ms response time, and has a native resolution of 1600x1200.
***-wise it's flawless to my eyes, especially when coupled with a DVI
compatible graphics card. A little on the expensive side, but it's the best
bit of hardware I've bought for a long, long time.

I think it was called the 190FP or something. Nice for desktop use,
but ***for ***.

The nice thing about 15" LCD screens is that they acutally measure 15"
- so you are not losing much size over your typical 17" CRT - which
measures 16" on a good day! If you get a 19" LCD you will have the
same approximate viewing area as you would with a 20 or 21" CRT.
Whatever you hear about difficulties with LCD monitors and *** does
not apply to the Dell unit that I have, and I was a skeptic before I
got it. The only reason I got the LCD in the first place is that Dell
was basically giving it away when I bought the PC last year. I had
actually planned on selling the LCD display and keeping my 17" CRT -
until I opened it and turned it on. I will never go back to a CRT
display again.
BTW - graphics card is TI4200 - I get about 50-60 fps average for
N2003 with textures on extreme and most eye candy turned on. Turned
off sun glare though, it was so blinding as to make online racing
difficult - so I turned it off to try to gain a slight edge. Hasn't
worked yet, though, only made 7-10 so far!

Sony is no longer on the cutting edge of anything. Various internal
struggles andoutside distractions have affected all their core businesses:
TVs, monitors, consoles, movies, music...only their digital camera division
is still strong, IMO. The hot brands in LCDs are Dell, Samsung (which badly
wants to be Asia's new Sony), Viewsonic, and Planar.
