An indepth review about its suitability for games, films, and general desktop shenanigans!
Would be good to see Core.
I'm really interested in this monitor, but if the angles are poor then I won't be getting one.
Any chance you could post some pics of the viewing angles?

It doesn't have the best pic, make no mistake but! for its current price don't even think of it. Plus it has very low lag input. GET IT!

heres some pictures, please excuse the poor quality camera but you get the idea of the screen in different positions, looks much better irl.
the only trouble i can find is when your veiwing from below the screen, it appears a bit darker

i went from a 19" samsung so this looked really huge when i first turned it on. i dont get to much difference in performance my 8800 gts 320mb is just about handling cod4 in high detail 1920x1200 with 4xaa. i only other games i play are supreme commander and rfactor, they dont really take any performance hit at all.
I'm thinking about getting this screen too.
A review said the dark area's look bad (blueish) and color's aren't perfect but imo for the price you can't complain.
Also slated the fact it had no usb ports ( big deal, I have a usb hub in my G11 kb...) and they didn't like the design and in monitor menu, that aside it seems to have no real ghosting problems and it's good value...
Why the 30'-ers are 2x the price at least is beyond me...

Well I've just ordered one.
I was going to go for the OCUK 24" as it has a VA panel, although this has a TN panel I'm quite impressed with the viewing angles. My main use will be pc gaming, with the option of watching the odd film and possible future xbox/ps3 for the kids so with this in mind it seems to be the better option.
I'll post some pics when I get setup.
