Westinghouse L1916HW: good or bad?

I am looking at Best Buy right now to purchase an LCD. So far, I've seen this particular model on sale.

I was wondering if someone knew anything about it really--it's only $160+Tax in-store so I was thinking of running to my local BestBuy today or tomorrow. Biggest thing for me is size and weight: I much prefer smaller monitors with higher resolution. I realize that a 1680x1050 19" LCD will have tiny pixels compared to 20.1" or 22" design, and the real fix is just to increase DPI (significantly). Basically no bother for me. Rig information is basically irrelevant but still in the sig.

I'm considering an alternative: an Acer X193W+BD at NewEgg.

The answer is like always, a tn pannel is fast and doesnt suffer from much input lag. But the colors and viewing angle suck in my opinion.
PVA and IPS pannels are a lot better, but may suffer from more input lag.

Other opinions? Anyone with experiences?

First you need to look what you want to spend, and what you want from a monitor. There is a lot to find about the smaller monitors. I wouldnt go for a TN pannel, but TN is also cheap, so maybe it would be your choice.

I ended up going with the Acer monitor from NewEgg: it had free shipping, no sales tax, and a DVI cable. Small, dense monitor that should be half-decent for gaming. Photoshop isn't a concern of mine.

Anyways--a quick note. Thus far, I'm satisfied with it. No dead pixels that I have found. It's an ample size: I was so used to 17" CRTs at 1280x1024 max resolution, but now this 19" LCD at 1680x1050 is awesome. The only thing I've noticed is a perceived flicker when you have alternating pixels (like 2 images on top of each other, no transparency).
