my friend just bought it few months back.okay la for the price.
I think cheapest you can get here in lowyat is around rm8xx, the price my friend bought, you can ask him, sirknieghf.

tearing is cos of game/gc, not cos of monitor...lol
ghosting is cos of monitor.

trust me on this one, almost all of the current LCD wont have any ghosting issues, be it IPS or TN.And most certainly not TN.
If got, wont be noticeable, or wont be that bad to deter your experience watching movies/ playing games.

But SOME monitors, like my u2410, has terrible ghosting issue, but only with analog input, like this thread.
cant use my old ps2 on it =.=
It looks like the picture takes time to "set in"
example, ur game character move, than stops, but theres a shadow behind him, and the shadow only stops and merge with him after1-2secs.

Like I said before, the only bad kind of ghosting, that will kacau your gaming is years back, where IPS monitors built for graphic jobs are used for gaming.
That kind of ghosting makes gaming unplayable
My fren at MMU had been challenged to play Doom3 on IPS monitor....it was THAT bad...haha

Dont be paranoid buying LCD.No current LCD should have ghosting problem.
