What do you guys think about this monitor? Im thinking about buying it at the moment. Looks good, the specs look ok and its pretty cheap (Don't want to spend anything over £130 inc. VAT). Should I buy now or can I save a couple of quid buying something different.

Thanks in advance.
 
I've just bought one of these - got it delivered to work so will be coming home with me this evening :)

I'll fire it up tonight and post my thoughts in the morning. Unfortunately I don't have a dvi cable at the moment, so I'll only be using a standard vga connector for now.

I've taken it out of the box already - it certainly looks smart.
 
Sweet :D.

Well the temptation got the best of me and I also just hit the Confirm Order button so mine will be arriving on Friday. It really does look amazing from the photos.
 
Well I'm pretty pleased with it.

Contrast ratio seems pretty good. I watched an episode of 'Lost' on it last night and it seemed to cope with the motion pretty well.

No dead pixels either.

The only slight downside is some slight backlight leakage on the top and bottom, probably only noticeable because of the letterboxing on the video though. Certainly not noticable for desktop use.

I've not had time to try any games on it.

And it looks really nice - a nice change from the usual black\silver you see these days.
 
If you're hooking it up with a VGA lead, be sure to use the one that came in the box. It only has 14 pins.

I initially had it hooked up with a standard 15 pin VGA lead and the computer completely refused to boot.

Weird, eh?
 
What can I say! It’s amazing, seriously. It has a very crisp image and no dead pixels when it came. Easy to set up and playing half life 2 in widescreen is mind blowing :D. Very minimalistic and tidy, I have no bad things to say about this monitor. Cheap and sexy :D.
