Depends on what you get. My Acer laptop TFT is very good for games, unlike some other's I've seen. Can't notice any ghosting on it. But some cheap models can have high latencies, (over 16ms) and that causes ghosting. If you want to save space and also have good gaming, you'll need to get a TFT that has a latency thats low.
my TFT is a Medion 17" lcd, Only cost £100, contrast ratio is 500:1 or somthing, and it has a 12ms response, someone over at rage 3d seem to think that 8ms and above cause ghosting, i get no ghosting, but i get wierd lines appearing and then flashing, in the top left of my monitor in some light areas :\.
i use a sceptre 19" 8ms no ghosting at all you just have to make sure you get 8ms or faster and no bad pixels 200.00 dollars after rebate tigerdirect
