How is good is this type of monitor for games? A few of the LCD's I've seen get blurred when the action is fast.......have you tested your new 20" yet?

My 19" regular montior is crapping out on me right now.... At $389, I might get one......but not if games aren't going to work well.

I just tried to enter the coupons for that monitor and the cheapest I could get it down to was $449.40. It wouldn't accept two of the coupons...... Anyone else actually try it and get it to work????

One last question..... What's the better contrast 600:1 or 800:1? The 800:1 19" monitor is $120 cheaper than the 600:1 20"... I might just go for that one.

800:1

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-lcd-monitor.htm

"The contrast ratio relates to the display’s comparative difference between its brightest white values and its darkest black values. A higher contrast ratio will have truer colors with less “wash out.” The standard offering for lower end models is commonly 350:1. Many experts recommend a contrast ratio of 500:1 or better."
