No such thing as a 4:3 LCD Monitor?
southpaw13:
Getting ready to purchase an LCD Monitor. After much reading, it appears that all 19" monitors are really 5:4? So a true 4:3 would be to go to a 20" 1600x1200 resolution. Pretty hard to find a decent one with a 8ms response rate. All the bargains are at 19". Does this sound right? What is everyone else doing? Thanks...

Buy a HP LP2065
That one is IPS, so great viewing angles, even vertical, and the input-lag is almost non-existent.

Second the HP LP2065, though it might not be the bargain you had in mind (retail is close to $400). You can get a refurb for <$200. I watched them on ebay until I stumbled onto a new one that came without the stand and cables for about the same price that the refurbs usually sell for.
The Dell 2007fp is another 4:3 lcd with good viewing angles, but its response time is higher than what you said you're looking for.

Don't count on response time figures. They are BS without good input-lag information. For example, from the modern 24 inch+ FullHD 2ms TN LCD's, many are having serious input lag from the PWM true color drivers.

Another vote for the LP2065. I got one off E-bay for a little over a hundred.
Definitely worth it and one of the only ones available.
