NEC Multisync LCD 1700V...

I'm a CRT kind of guy. ViewSonic A90f+ 19", .26 dot pitch. 75Hz refresh rate off an ATI 9800. I play RtCW in 1024 x 768.

Beautiful!

I have a decent 19" LCD, but I am going to repair my 19"CRT before BF2 comes out. LCDs do force you to play in native mode for their best appearance, otherwise they interpolate (which sucks). So, most, if not all, 19" LCDs are 1280x1024 native resolution, which is 5:4 ratio. Many games only support 4:3 ratios, ie 1280x960, 1024x768 etc. I guess in the end CRT still look better, although I haven't seen the 4ms LCDs in person yet.

Well... Ended up getting the NEC Multisync 1970GX. 19", 8ms... Pretty sweet picture. At 1280x1024, it's way better than my CRT (NEC MultiSync 97F).

Finally pulled the switch and got this monitor from Newegg on Tuesday. Wow, this is one great monitor for gaming. I've played BFV and Half-Life 2 so far now and there is no "ghosting" and picture is just gorgeous. Here is a good link for a more balanced appraisel from Tom's Hardware:
