I've been clinging to my trusty NEC MultiSync FE992 for years. My monitor has started to darken a bit and the top left corner is a bit fuzzy. I've refused to buy a LCD because I play a lot of games, mainly FPS, and ghosting makes me angry. I'm very sensitive to input lag and when it can't keep up with my eyes it frustrates me. If Plasmas came in this size range I would snatch one up right away as they're everything I'm looking for in a monitor (response rates and contrast ratios on par with CRTs). My price range is $300-$400 and currently I'm looking at these two LCDs.

Anyone in the same boat have recommendations? Should I still wait a few more years before buying for techonology to improve upon itself and stuff like OLED backlighting to become mainstream?
On the other hand I'm just looking for a good new monitor. Does anyone know of any really good CRTs that are still being sold in the 21" range?
