Oh God, is it true? If I do go for a 19 inch then I would have to run games at a resolution of 1920x1200, meaning I need something like the 7800 or 8800 to play latest games. Even Doofus, I must add, will not run at that resolution with the current 6200 card. :'( Some people were also mentioning about ghost artifacts appearing on some LCDs. Ah yes the ClearType engine with LCDs, yes I know I have seen that and it really looks good.

You should see how Consolas looks on LCDs with clear type on. I hope I never have to code on an CRT again. But you should be aware of the problem with using LCDs for gaming. Since the output looks like crap on an LCD if its not running at the native resolution (basically max resolution), you need a beefy GPU to play at the full resolution.
