If you use this monitor can you tell me your results? Thanks!!!
Works like a charm. Very clear, crisp images with excellent color. I can't see any ghosting of any kind. I run Nr2003, F1C, F12002 and mods and GPL mainly. Also NetKar and LFS as of late. Got mine for $326 with some shrewd coupon use and a 25% discount (Dell daily special) and 0% interest for 6mo. This was about 5 months ago, so YMMV. If the same "FP" series monitor was available at more reasonable price with the 1600x1200 res, I'd go for that. It was about $1000 when I got the FP1800.

I have the FP2000, the 20" 1600x1200 LCD you mention. Absolutely fantastic, especially if you have a DVI compatible video card - I am using a AT Radeon 9000. It is _perfect_ for vehicle and flight simulations. "Lawman_02766" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Well they have the 1800fp and for $100 more there is the 1901fp. It is a 19" lcd but the same resolution as the 18" "Internet User" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > JP Sarte wrote: > > I have the FP2000, the 20" 1600x1200 LCD you mention.

I know that the 1800FP is a Samsung. I checked it out before buying the 2000. The 1800 has a bit more ghosting and streaking when there's side to side action. Not an issue with driving sims since the action tends to come towards you. I'd recommend checking out the 'Audio/Visual' forum here: http://arstechnica.infopop.net/0/OpenTopic There is the monster of all LCD threads along with good info on most brands of LCD monitors. I would recommend an LCD monitor for sims, just don't know about the 1800. I highly recommend that you use a DVI connection between videocard and monitor.
I will check it out. Thanks for the very usesful information. I do have a DVI connection and I plan on getting an lcd monitor that has one too.
