The 2005FPW is a nice S-IPS panel manufactured by LG. However, it is
essentially a 16ms panel, so you may notice some ghosting. Ghosting seems to
be more a personal perception issue than anything else...some people pick up
on it while others will not, even on the same panel.
I'd say buy it anyway. You have a 21-day total satisfaction guarantee from
Dell. If you don't like it, return it--and you get every penny back,
including return shipping (unless that's changed recently).
Keep in mind that the 2007FPW was just released. Same size, but supports
HDCP for HD content in Windows Vista. One of very select few displays that
support HDCP at this point.

Subject: [H] Dell 2005FPW now 25% off, good gaming monitor?
I've been in the market for a great flat panel gaming monitor and with my
eventual upgrade to a 7900GT SLI system I need a monitor that can take
advantage of the GPUs. The Dell 2005FPW is now reduced from $529 to $397
with Dell's Small Business discount code, and I'm thinking of jumping on
this thing.
Opinions?
