OK, so they're not quite as good for gaming, but with technology improving, they're swiftly getting there.

We know that many of you are in the market for monitor upgrades right now, and 20" panels hit a very nice sweet spot of price and resolution. With that in mind, we grabbed five of the top panels right now to find out which one is worth your cash."
