I'm currently in the way of making a 1500$ rig mainly for moderate gaming (Oblivion,Fear, UT 04, HalfLife2, Guild Wars),
and i have 3 monitors in mind.

I prefer an aesthetically appealing LCD with great stats for gaming and light movie watching.

THanks - and wide open to suggestions XD
 
Samsung 930BF hands down. but please make sure u got a 6800 card at the least to enjoy 1280 1024 gameplay if not, what's the point in getting a 19in, right?

i feel like gettin a 15in monitor rite now with my card. so, dats my 2 cents there.[/img]
 
If you are on a budget and want a great monitor I would take a look at the NEC 1970GX. You can get it for $289.99 right now at CDW. Got a USB 2.0 hub, height adjustment, opticlear screen etc.
 
Well i have that exact LG monitor (1980Q) and i have to say it is incredible! The image quality is superb and oh so sharp! I liked it so much that i overcleaned it and ended up leaving streaks on it :) but thats not a problem as i only notice the marks during dark areas in games. Anyway i highly recommend this monitor if you want top quality!
 
Yes its excellent for gaming with its 8ms response time and of course its image quality. Gaming is pretty much all i do and the LG hasnt let me down so far :)
