the Acer AL2016W and the BENQ FP202W have the exact same panel inside
both are average, and nothing special (although both acer and benq do have better panels, its just those in particular are budget ones)
the lg is SIGNIFICANTLY better than both, id prolly go with the lg personally from that list.
although really, personally I'd spend more and get a 8bit panel and probably a 22", they're very good value for money these days.
to the OP, why not 22"? they're not that much more...
listen to sunrise, asides from his jealousy over not owning a real ninja video card, he seems to know what he's on about.

yes, it's ashame there isn't a single game that can use all that shmancy video power yet :P :P
i play my games at 1280x768 or 1360x768 anyways (with AA though) (cos i play them on tv), so faster than what i have would goto waste.
oh yah, im only playing @ 1280x1024 but i like knowing i wont need another new card for ages. and supreme commander does take a bit of juice sometimes...

manly nvidia juice. but only from nvidia, coz ATI juice right now is languishing
well ati is absolutely pwning nvidia in vista driver devlopment by miles. and you can play practically all your games and the newest too if you're stupid to be using vista, where as with nvidia, it's very hit and miss and buggy and a little bit slow ehhhh...
atleast nvidia stopped making hairdryers (it's still lol to make fun of the geforce fx)
yeah, "stupid" being the operative word. only super-nerds play games on vista currently. im a nerd, but still slow to take on new technology.

no, the nerds know not to use it, cos it sucks.
more your dumbass joe blow "ooo vista, new and exciting, how cool!" use it unknowingly.
maybe another 6 months til it's upto scratch, who knows, but for now, lolololololol
^^ the only thing LCDs are better for is space. CRTs are still more reliable. hell, my current monitor is 8 years old! only get a new monitor if you have heaps of spare cash. a 19" CRT is still worth playing on!
