Well i've finally had enough of this crap of LCD's not having a less resonse time than 25ms on a 19". I dont really play that many games anyway. I finally found a 700:1 19" monitor that i really liked (i'm fussy about specs and the look of the LCD). Its the new Planar

http://www.planar.com/monitors/PX191.asp

which has received a few good customer comments so far. However, i've just found out Planar are only available in US, but this got me pissed.

However, i found this. What are BenQ like for LCD's. Any reviews of this so far? What do you think? Should I go for it?

Any other 700:1 19" LCD's out there yet? If so which? I know of the Sharp but the look of the LCD has put me off, just dont look as cool as the Planar or BenQ.
 
Hey,

I'm trying to patient as well for a 19 or 20 inch LCD with a response time <20 ms. Looks like it might be a while.

To answer your question, try taking a look at:

1) NEC 1980SX (700:1)

Viewsonic also has several models that are 600:1. They are:
1) VG191
2) VP191
3) VG900
4) VX900.

I'm also partial to the new Planar PX191. Seems like a great monitor. I think I'm going to push it up one more inch and get the PL201, though. I think I'll like the bigger real estate and the 1600x1200 resolution over the 1280x1024.

Hope that helps some :)
