Alienware 3d monitor problems and other monitor recommendations

Hello,

Any help recommending a good 3D nvidia vision ready monitor would be appreciated. I have recently purchased the 23 inch 3d ready alienware monitor.

The monitor arrived with a damaged frame, and damaged metal grill on the top, besides that it powers on and works. (Dell/ Alienware is sending me a replacement with overnight shipping --- didn't know overnight meant 5 days because I still don't have it, and they took 45 minutes on the phone just to issue a return, sorry for my Dell customer service rant) I have not tried 3d vision yet, however I have tried web browsing, adobe software, Borderlands, God of war 3 via HDMI (ps3), HULU, etc.. I have not played with the settings besides making the brightness 40 (the monitor is VERY BRIGHT- not a bad thing).

I have noticed in most instances when the screen has black on top and below, like watching hulu full screen with black bar at top and bottom , or if the game is a dark game like certain parts of God of War 3 there is a white blurry bar a little smaller than half an inch on top and a smaller less noticeable blurry bar on bottom. Overall it is very noticeable and is quite annoying. I am aware this color bleeding problem is common in many LCDs but this in my opinion is terrible. I am hoping my replacement does not have that problem.

1) Is there a way to get rid of the white blur on top and bottom of the screen or a way to decrease it?

2) In the link below in the 1920X1080 Desktop Display section and the 1680X1050 section can someone please recommend a monitor that does not have the white blur problem, or just recommend the best one possible 22-24 inches? a brief explanation (differences and benefits) of 1920X1080 verse 1680X1050 displays would also be appreciated. I know 1680X1050 is a higher resolution but is that necessarily a better?

I recently ordered a gaming computer from originpc with a the 3d vision kit, i5 processor, and a evga gtx 480 card. I would be willing to write a review on how the 3D vision works with the computer/ monitor. No it won't be a professional review just my own opinions. where would the best place be to add that review?

again thanks for your help.

well the tricky thing is that with 3Dvision you need a monitor that is 120Hz and the OptX is one of the few that do unless you go to an actual LCD TV and the 120hz TVs smallest size is 32", i personally have the OptX 21.5 inch that i bought at work but i dont have 3D Vision to test that out but i know my 21.5 Inch doesnt have any color bleeding issues when im gaming then again my computer cant run crysis on that high of a resolution so i took it back from 1920x1080 to 1600x900 and it runs and looks fine. same when im watching a movie or tv show in full screen. i havnt noticed any white or grey bars anywhere on the screen even when there is a dark scene
