Hi there
They won't be in stock for long, our order has been on with DELL for months for JUST 100pc and they arrived yesterday but were now down to just 40pc left, hence the demand on these is high, plus the fact were over £100 cheaper than DELL.

got mine this morning!!! its HUGE!!!!!! been playing crysis and mass effects and i can't notice the input lag (well i can if i pay attention but its really insignificant)
the monitor itself looks awesome!! heavier than i thort it would b, but the build quality seems flawless, a nice sterdy (sp??) stand, nice bright screen, no dead or bright pixles, and the "touch" buttons on the side r siiik!!
i agree with what sum reviews say about the colours being too warm on the 'standard' setting but there are presets in the monitor menu which correct this (im using adobe RGB).
overall im very happy with the monitor, sum reviews i read made me think otherwise but now they just seem picky. hope this helps sway u towards a purchase 'cause it will def b worth it, especially for that price!!

the thing is you wont notice the lag until you compare side by side after all how would you know your 3fps ahead or behind apart from getting killed all the time maybe ?
Hi CraigN,
to b honest i upgraded from a 7yr old 19" CRT, so any upgrade would have been a big improvement, but it also means i would notice the input lag more than upgrading from a tft (i assume), but i cannot really notice it and gameplay for me has not changed at all.
hope that helps
In a really fast FPS, something like UT/Q3A I'm sure a good player would quickly notice his level of play had dropped and that he was having trouble hitting things. You probably wouldn't notice in a much slower FPS like Crysis though.
Anyone wanna buy a Dell 21" CRT Behemoth

ummm.. well it's big and looks fantastic... but it's killed my pc :'(
I plugged it in, turned it on and told the nvidia options to send it a signal. then the drivers died and vista froze. I rebooted and nothing happened. no display, no post beep, no error beeps. I cant figure out what died so pretty fed up.
PS3 looks great though.

T'was just a coincidence it then expired the day you got the monitor then?
What settings are you using? I.e. brightness and contrast, colours etc.
It's very bright and very red at the defaults. Starting to have a look now myself

did you not try and "unstick" it?
Gave it a sexy massage....Dead Pixel Buddy...unplugged/swapped cables. Nothing left tor try? It's going back anyway
I did get to use it for a few hours.. The best thing about it for me is size - When stood next to my 21" 4:3 NEC it's slightly bigger vertically and when setting it all up I was using a 1600x1200 wallpaper which showed all the nice horizontal space spare I'd never go back to 4:3, and I'd never go back to anything less than a 27" TFT.Not tried any games on it... Waiting for a couple of months to buy a new rig.
Cheers
