I felt the same way at first but I have to say that my Dell 2005 FPW hasn't
disappointed me, and I haven't noticed a difference in my gaming since I got
the Dell a year ago. I finally set my Nokia 17" CRT aside, and am enjoying
the more efficient use of desktop space. As the gap narrows, the trade-off
becomes acceptable unless you are doing CAD work or a lot of text-related
work.

Zzzzzzzzzzz....huh? What's that? Discussions about superior displays? Wake
me up when something tops my Sony 21" GDM-520 CRT (now 6 years old). I'll
set my snooze alarm for next decade...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Not all Dell panels are the same. The 2407WFP is more of their premium
line,
whereas the E228WFP is a cheaper model. I'd stay away from the cheaper
panels, but the "Ultrasharp" models are typically quite decent. Of course,
I'd never buy a cheap display anyway. :)

Yeah my 6800 is getting aged. I was looking at the Radeon X1950 Pro
AGP as an upgrade (a final one since this is an AGP system) However, I
was concerned about upgrading my PSU and also if the performance gain
would be that substantial. OK so Dell panels aren't so bad then? You
suggest 2407WFP Bryan suggested the 226BW. I don't mind (in fact I
expect to) paying for a quality panel.
