Tom's Hardware seems to think there are 'reasons not to get the 20WMGX2': http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/06/27/xxl_displays/page7.html TH may be overly hard on the NEC but there are definitely 'chinks in the armour', as with any current LCD.

There are some good deals on these older IPS monitors but I am leary about how they fare with fast FPS games after hearing some reports about 'input lag' on the 2001FP. Can any users of the VP201 or FP2091 tell me if they've experienced input lag? I would especially be interested if anyone...

Yes, exactly. Optimally you should use a clock/stopwatch app which has a three digit millisecond display, you should compare to the CRT which has almost no lag, and you should take a fair number of pictures because some don't turn out due to the digital numbers displayed being photographed...

There are some reviews of the L2000C: http://www.biosmagazine.co.uk/rev.php?id=443 http://www.custompc.co.uk/custompc/reviews/84156/lg-flatron-l2000c.html http://www.computerpoweruser.com/editorial/article.asp?frm=NMAOL&article=articles/archive/c0604/31c04/31c04.asp&guid= And some...

I take it you will do some gaming on this monitor? I would have thought the new LG 1970HR would be LG's natural competitor to the VX922. You might want to look at it. I tried both the 1970HR and the VX922 and they are very close. I noticed no ghosting on either, motion blur is comparable...

While I agree with you about the benefits of an LCD I would not agree that all the shortcomings have been addressed for the hardcore gamer, which is why few competitive FPS gamer use an LCD. You note some of these but they are not insignificant: there is inevitable input lag on all LCDs (in...

I personally think you can do better. You can almost buy a new, non-refurb VX922 for that price from Dell.ca using a 10% coupon (from joining their spam list, and maybe 5% further savings from visasavings.com). If you look around I bet you can find a more recent VA model around that price as...

I considered buying a refurb VP191b so I once copied/pasted a note someone wrote about identifying the units that have the 8ms panel: "You must make sure you get revision 3 that uses the 8ms MVA panel from AU Optronics. Here is a sample serial number: A1W050420001 ... The 05 refers to the...

I agree, people should be doing this. Well at the very least the hardware reviewers should. I measured input lag on the Viewsonic VX922 and LG 1970HR and it was minimal on both. See my post in this thread for more details: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1026393&page=4. If you...

I doubt anyone can detect a delay of 5ms but 50ms is easily detected. And that is the neighborhood of lag measured consistently and subjectively detected on several LCDs. Perception of the lag will of course vary depending on the the application. In fast FPS gaming, as I reported, I detected...

You SHOULD be worried about input lag if you are a hardcore fps player, but probably not so much if you are not. Some people have the impression that input lag is only present on LCDs with VA type panels. This is NOT my experience. I play UT2004 a lot and input lag on more than one LCD I have...

Reviving this excellent thread to add some observations about input lag on other non-VA type panelled LCDs, from the perspective of someone who plays fast fps games and has noticed input delay while gaming on more than one LCD. Recently I borrowed a Samsung 204B and found the lag to be a...

I am really happy to see NEC pushing the envelope on fast IPS panels, but how about more options for the average sub-26 inch consumer? :rolleyes: Even a 1600x1200 or 1200x1024 AS-IPS model would be nice, especially one with matte screen.

The Viewsonic 2030b with VA panel type would be worth comparing. I have not read much about it except a few positive reports. Otherwise we are still waiting for a new model 1600x1200 LCD using IPS technology that does not suffer banding.

If you are a hardcore gamer playing the fastest FPS games, then don't buy either Samsung. They both have the dreaded 'input lag'. Others have reported this problem on the 214T and I discovered it myself on the 204B -- obvious when playing UT2004 and confirmed with measurements in the high 30s...

Apparently the BenQ FP91R coming out in June is 19" with IPS. Haven't seen response time specs.

Has anyone heard of 19" models or 4:3 models of any size coming out in the near future with AS-IPS?
