In gaming, the overriding concern is typically response time. To this end, a
TN+ panel is usually your best bet.

If you were doing graphics work, I wouldn't consider anything but an S-IPS
based display. S-PVA and P-MVA panels are good intermediate panels.

My brother, an avid gamer, has a 4:3 20 Viewsonic VP2030b display. It uses
a P-MVA panel and does a very nice job all-around. I'd be inclined to go for
the Dell 2407WFP though. It uses a S-PVA panel and has a quite respectable
response time, but your 6800 isn't going to run those games at native
resolution (1920x1200) very well.

Ok let me ask this, what would be a good/great 21+ inch wide screen
LCD that would be used for gaming. I have a nVidia 6800 with DVI and analog
ports. Games played: WoW, Doom 3, Quake 4

Do you have a good site that shows the differences between the differing panel 
technologies??
I would like to learn more on this stuff..

There are several good resources for learning about different panel
technologies, with varying levels of detail. One site (actually, a forum
post) that provides a great high-level overview is here:
http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1039222

Another excellent resource for learning about the panel technologies,
learning how to read specifications, as well as lookup the panel is used in
a given display, is here:
