I will give you some background first. i originally was just running a Macbook and wanted a 30" monitor as i was going to get a Mac Pro. i decided to get
2x HP LP2475w's and A Gaming PC as I missed gaming far to much...

Now i have the spec in my sig and the 2X HP's. I orignally was using the 2nd monitor constently. but now i ever hardly use it as im gaming all the time. all it serves to show foobars current song...

now im back to thinking of buying a 30" to replace both HP's, for Gaming & photoediting. i know my GTX280 SLI should power them.

im just unsure is 30" to big for gaming? @ 2560x1600 ?

should i just keep the HP's?

i keep coming back to 30" wanting one :(

whats your views on 30" gaming??
 
I guess it depends on how far back from the screen you sit....

Which one are you looking at - Dell 3008? Seems to be well reviewed and it's a really nice looking monitor.

Anyway - if your GPUs are up to it then I'd say go for it...
 
I'd say go for it. You can always leave one of your HP LP2475w's as a second monitor or just get a cheap 20" as a second monotor if you really miss second screen.
 
Definately get one if you can afford it
I came into some spare cash about 6 months ago and got myself the dell 3008 and i still happy with spending that kind of money on a monitor

Dont game a lot but what i have seen is good and movies are awesome. There was an issue tho with using the hd input and dvi input(only one displayed in correct screen res)

Dont know if this has been sorted in new rev but even then im defo happy i purchased mine
 
what ive decided to do is this:

sell my PS3 as not used it in months!
Give me dad my Samsung 40"inch HD TV

use my 24" HP for SKY HD

then give me 2nd 24" HP to my dad as a monitor.

Buy 30" Dell!

Let me know how they compare, im going to get one or the other, the dells input lag is putting me off right now.
 
30" gaming is great :)

Not sure about the Dell 3008WFP the thread on here sounds like a proper tale of woe and issues :(

I got the Hazro HZ30 at the end of last year and it has the same panel as the 3007WFP which seems less problematical and since it doesn't have a scaler doesn't have the input lag problems of the other 30"'s also it cost <£700 and it's all brushed aluminium. Unfortunately they seem to have disappeared without trace from retail :(
 
unsure which manfacturer to choose but im not buying it right away maybe 6 months time to get use out my 2xHP
 
Thinking of buying hp again the 30" version dell has to much input lag and the ned is abut bland. The apple, not sure about it.
