which model? FP1901? that's pretty good one.

but it's the best deal today. it's been dropping steadily for the past 5 months.

can you explain why you wouldn't use it for 3d games? or you wouldn't use any lcd for 3d games?
1703FP has contrast ratio of 600:1 and 85 degree view angle which seem to be the best combo for its price on the market right now

I wouldn't use any lcds right now for 3d games. lcds are capable of really low refresh rates (okay technically they don't use refresh rates).

the image will ghost and or you'll have slow fps (frames per second)

contrast ratio and view angle doesn't have anything to do with 3d games. I'll bet the reaction time is either 25ms or 16ms. either of which isn't fast enough for 3d games.
